A once in a lifetime experience!
December 31, 2024by: Angela Aimee Rosario - United StatesProgram: Vietnam In-Class TEFL Course with Guaranteed Teaching JobI've been blown away by the immense support, knowledge, and accurate guidance of the Ninja Teacher team since day 1 of enrolling into their in person TEFL program. Each step of the way, from organizing documents to ensure a smooth arrival and stay in Vietnam (my hometown is California), to learning the foundations of delivering a high quality, effective, and fun lesson plan and everything in-between, I felt unbelievably supported. Moving abroad and entering a new career are two massive life transitions and Ninja Teacher made the process and my experience seamless and doable. I cannot thank the team enough for playing such a pivotal role in this new, exciting chapter in my life. Highly recommend the in- person course. You will 100% be in the BEST of hands.
Life-changing journey with Ninja Teacher
December 20, 2024by: Geoff Law - United KingdomProgram: Vietnam In-Class TEFL Course with Guaranteed Teaching JobI unreservedly recommend Ninja Teacher to anyone considering embarking on a TEFL journey. With over 20 years of experience in education, training practitioners in facilitation, and delivering courses across 18 countries, I approach such programmes with a healthy degree of scepticism. Yet, my four weeks at Ninja Teacher proved to be a humbling and transformative growth experience that I will carry forward into my professional life. With the help of the team at Ninja Teacher, I secured the perfect job within 10 working day of graduating, an I was one of the slowest students to find a job! Making the decision to enrol wasn’t easy. Sitting on my sofa in the UK, literally on the other side of the world, parting with my hard-earned money felt like a leap of faith. But I can confidently say it was worth every single quid—and more. Alex's claims on his YouTube videos, which I scrutinised closely, hold true within the context of this remarkable programme. The training itself is of the highest calibre I have ever encountered. Sadie, in particular, is nothing short of a master of her craft—I doff my hat to her. The curriculum is exceptionally well-structured, practical, and engaging, equipping you with not only the tools to teach but the confidence to thrive. Not to mention the practical value of the real class observations and live solo teaching opportunities provided—daunting at first, but ultimately the most rewarding and life-changing experiences of the programme. The team at Ninja Teacher are an endless source of support and local knowledge. Miranda, Gem, Chi, and Semaira went above and beyond, offering invaluable recommendations for everything from tailors to tennis lessons, spinning classes, and, of course, Miranda's beloved restaurants and bars. Their warmth and guidance make settling into Ho Chi Minh City a seamless experience. That said, Ho Chi Minh City is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a vibrant, fast-paced, and occasionally overwhelming environment, but if you bring your agility and adaptability, the rewards are immense. The city brims with energy, opportunity, and adventure. For those feeling stuck in a rut, yearning for new skills that can be used anywhere in the world, or simply seeking a bit of excitement, I urge you to sign up for the Ninja Teacher TEFL programme. I have no words to fully express my gratitude to the Ninja Teacher team—you will all forever hold a special place in my heart. With the help of the team at Ninja Teacher, it took me exactly 10 working days from graduating to secure the perfect job—and I was one of the slowest students to find a position! Take the leap; you won’t be disappointed!

December 17, 2024by: Caileigh Lydon - United StatesProgram: Vietnam In-Class TEFL Course with Guaranteed Teaching JobI loved EVERYTHING about Ninja Teacher! I got a lot of support pre-arrival (I even had an issue with my visa and they helped me fix it within the day). They gave clear instruction on what to pack, where to stay, documents you needed, down to how to get out of the airport. The course itself was amazing. The instructors, Sadie and Semaira, have to be some of the best teachers in the business. Sadie will set you up for success in the classroom guaranteed. She made the course so fun and engaging, you hardly realized you were learning along the way. There was also a lot of hands on teaching experience with 3 teaching observations and 3 solo teaching classes, not to mention practice in your TEFL class as well. The other staff, Gem, Miranda, and Ivy, were also incredible. Any time I had any kind of question, from where to get lunch to transportation help for a day-trip, they had the answers. Following graduation, getting a job has never been easier thanks to Chi. She was so, so helpful. All you truly had to do was show up for the interviews and then accept the job. Also, even after you graduate and get a job, there is a great Ninja Alumni community, so it's very easy to meet people and make friends. All in all, if you are even contemplating getting a TEFL, DO NINJA!

What inspired you to travel abroad?
My typical day at work starts with coming to class excited to facilitate lessons around pedagogical practices. We always start off with a fun warm up game either led by myself or one of the trainees. From there, we delve into different topics such as classroom management, how to give effective instructions, and teaching skills like listening and speaking. Trainees spend a lot of time actually putting these into practice by facilitating activities with the class and being the "teacher." We finish off with time to plan lessons for actual classes that trainees teach to Vietnamese students at language centers around Ho Chi Minh City. During that time, I guide the lesson planning process and sit with trainees individually to give them support. Some evenings, I may attend the lessons taught by trainees or go with them to English Club where they interact with Vietnamese adults who are looking to improve their English skills.
