New ESL Teacher moving to Hanoi, Vietnam

Hi Jasminye,

I advise you to read the articles about work and visas in Vietnam in these two sections below :

- Work in Vietnam
- Visas in Vietnam

For your job request, the Language teacher jobs in Hanoi section is at your entire disposal, feel free to post your CV there.

For accommodation, i advise you to have a look to the Shared accommodation in Hanoi section, you will find some offers there. If ever you don't see the accommodation of your dream here, you may also post your request and give details about the type of accommodation you are looking for, your monthly budget etc.

How long will you stay in Vietnam please?

Thank you,

Priscilla 

Thank you so much for the information I am planning on staying as long as it takes, maybe 6 months and more, depending on the job situation.

That's good.  You'll probably find work soon after you arrive, if not before then, based on those qualifications. 

* Would any of you know any teaching jobs going around in April for a New English Teacher?   There's a steady stream of ads running, year round.  The only time the flow becomes a trickle is during the Tet holidays, which are observed in January/February.  The end of May/beginning of June may be slow, as the schools have a 2 week break before the summer session begins.  Some schools keep their teachers working, though.  It depends on the school, the students and the type of class that you'll be teaching.   TOEIC classes, for example, would probably continue uninterrupted.

* If I came on my UK passport and bought a tourist visa on-line, will there be any problems when hired, to get a work permit? 

* Are there any reliable web-sites to find a shared flat, no more than 250$ a month. I'll send you a private message regarding this and the websites you can check, in addition to this one, of course.

I'll answer these questions in a p/m (private message).

Thanks in advance & Kindest Regards.

You're welcome.   

Wellcome to Vietnam.

I would highly recommend that anyone that's considering Hanoi as a place to teach English look through this guy's review of the schools he's worked for.  The b/s that teachers have to wade through here defies belief at times and makes $25 an hour seem paltry, especially when you factor in the fact that you're probably going to be ripped off eventually.
