Vietnam Experience with XploreAsia

Submitted by Erika | July 09, 2018

The orientation week, the course itself, the setting & accommodation within Ho Chi Minh City, both pre- & post-course assistance - all in all was highly enjoyable & made incredibly easy by XploreAsia instructors & staff. I know that every student in the course enjoyed a process that in many ways could have been a lot more stressful & difficult had it not been for your guidance, assistance & training. I commend XploreAsia for their practical approach to training, both in the demonstrations performed in class as well as in the field (the experience at the charity school made an impact on all of us). I would recommend you to anyone wanting to take this journey.

Helpful Every Step of the Way

Packing up and moving across the world is a stressful endeavor no matter who you are or how experienced of a traveler you are. With XploreAsia, all of the uncertainty is taken out of the equation. From the moment you land, they're there to meet you, orient you in your new host country, answer any questions and solve any problems that may arise. This does not end once you finish with the program either - they continue to offer an amazing support system and placement assistance for all alumni of the program.

The course staff were outstanding, as well as the support and placement staff. All XploreAsia staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and did an excellent job in preparing us for the setting of a foreign classroom. The support staff, even today over one year later, continue to reach out to us and make themselves available for any needs we may have in the country.

XploreAsia is HIGHLY recommended to anyone considering taking the leap and moving to teach abroad. They truly know what they are doing and take the stress out of what is for many people an inherently stressful situation!

EPIC!

Submitted by Emily White - HCMC | July 06, 2018

From the words "You've been accepted" the process of paperwork formalities, landing in Vietnam (airport pickup; accomodation), the cultural orientation week, the TESOL course itself (Teacher; opportunities within the course), to now teaching and living in Ho Chi Minh City has all been smooth sailing. What could have been and for some part was daunting, Xplore Asia has been there to assist the whole way (THANK YOU LISA!). Everyday I cannot wipe the smile from my face knowing how much I have achieved in the past three months. Thank you Xplore Asia for providing me with the opportunity to met amazing new people, have an irreplaceable cultural experience, improve on my teaching and grow as a person.

XploreAsia

Submitted by Tod Pomerleau - Hanoi | July 06, 2018

In 2017 I wanted to take a different path and add some adventure in my life and create some memories. Asia was the ideal place, and I heard that people went and taught English in many Asian countries. However, this seemed so foreign and I had no idea where to start to find out how to do such a thing. After doing some research, XploreAsia kept popping up.
I applied and started the process not knowing what to expect, but was completely surprised and thrilled at how easy they made the process. There is a significant amount of detailed and important paperwork needed prior to departure and the XploreAsia team was extraordinarily helpful in ensuring everything was in order. Coordination of arrival dates, verification of flight details, where to go, how to get there, housing during the TESOL course. All things that could have been very daunting for a newbie in Asia was handled and coordinated with you at ease, relieving loads of anxiety.
Once arriving in my chosen destination of Vietnam, the XploreAsia team was organized and had a plan for the entire month of the TESOL class, including trips to different sights, group dinners, and the schedule for the class itself. The experience was made to be an enjoyable one that was also productive and educational.
Towards the end of the TESOL class interviews are coordinated and jobs are offered. Once again, XploreAsia is there for guidance to review contracts, what expectations should be, and to try to accommodate any requests that anyone may have.
The support they provided throughout the process was amazing, but what I appreciated the most was the support after we parted ways and started our jobs in our different locations. There was always some form of communication and and always a rapid response should any questions or concerns arise. This is a great team that is willing to help with anything and I would recommend to anyone thinking about taking a journey like this.
