Description

The volunteer's role in Vietnam is to support the provision of English in institutions where under-staffing and skills shortages are an issue. Teaching qualifications and experience are welcome, but are not a requirement. The teaching programs are based in either a Vietnamese school or community centre catering to pupils of both primary and secondary school age. Volunteers in Vietnam contribute to developing the children's English vocabulary and building on their writing and speaking skills. Of invaluable assistance to the local teachers on the project, the volunteer teacher assists with classroom management, educational activities and games. The working day is fairly flexible and hours can be tailored to suit the volunteer's wishes.
