Austria programme 2024

I think the programme was a valuable use of a summer for a multitude of reasons. These include gaining transferable skills; making new friends; experience of traveling and working abroad; and general self-development! The program has enabled me to learn more about another culture, to make connections across Europe, and it has gifted me with transferable skills for my future career. Highlights were definitely exploring a new country that I had little knowledge of and getting to engage with their traditions. For example, I went folk-dancing and wore traditional Austrian dress - this was a side of the country that I'd never have been able to explore without getting in touch with a host family, so this experience was invaluable! The end of programme trip to Italy was also great fun :)

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Hanoi

Teaching Jobs in Hanoi

Generally speaking, there are a lot of opportunities for foreigners to teach abroad in Hanoi. Teaching jobs in Hanoi vary from teaching full-time in international, governmental, and private institutions to teaching part-time in language centers or providing private tutorials. Having said that, the most popular teaching jobs in Hanoi are centered on teaching English.

Full-time Teachers. Teaching full-time in local schools is the most popular route for teaching abroad in Hanoi. With full-time employment, teachers can secure a job for the whole school year and even have the possibility of extending their contract for additional years.

Part-time Teachers. Those looking for part-time work typically find teaching jobs in Hanoi at language centers, where teachers instruct small classes of students in varying age brackets. Some full-time teachers can also apply for part-time jobs on the side, since they only require a minimum number of hours per week. Most language centers also provide tutorials for individual students during non-class hours, which is usually after classes or during weekends.

While teaching English in Hanoi is most popular, some schools do also offer teaching jobs in other subjects, such mathematics, science, and history. While most institutions prefer to hire native English speakers for English teaching jobs, non-native speakers can also apply if they have relevant teaching experience, ESL teaching certification, or a degree. International schools tend to hire foreign teachers to teach a variety of subjects in Hanoi.

Keep in mind that the school year in Vietnam starts in September and ends in May, with classes from Monday to Friday. And, schools tend to frequently observe public holidays (#weekendtrips!).
