Dear Expats,

  Recently, I have been joining in a teaching charity which was taken place in Giac Nguyen Temple in Dist. 4. As we plan, we will open English classes for poor people who keen on studying English. There will be 3 classes per week (on Mon/Wed/Fri or Tue/Thu/Sat) teaching from 6.pm to 7.30pm or 7.30pm to 9.00pm.
  Up to now, We have gatherred many students but we haven't had enough teacher. I hope that thanks to this post, may we have lucky chances to meet kind volunteers to help teaching. IF you are interested in this project or if you have any question, please don't hesitate to contact me through my email: [email protected]. Thanks a lot.

  Wishes you all have a nice day, nice time in VN.

Not long ago I read about a temple in HCMC where the monks teach English to poor children in the newspaper, not sure if you're the same temple.  Is the head monk named Quang?  I'd love to help but I live far outside the City.  It takes me about 2 hours to get into HCMC from Vũng Tàu (and 2 hours back).  You guys ever try to do an all day class?  Like on a Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM?

Glad to see you reply Tran Hung Dao and thanks a bun for your kindness, enthusiastism, I used to heard about this news too but we are different. Actually, we belongs to the Temple's Charity Organization but its activities and financial situation seperate with the temple. We have just kicked off this project for almost 1 month.

At present, we are based on student's demand to set up classes so most of classes are in the evening. But I really wanna ask for your help for another temple in Chau Duc Dist. Ba Ria-Vung Tau. At this temple, we also run the same project and really look for help. Hope that you are interested in this project and receive your response soon. Tks a lot

Hi Huyen,
I am working as a part-time English teacher. I would like to join charities and have been thinking about teaching to poor children with interest in studying English. I have a full schedule at night from 17 PM - 20 PM. But I can teach classes in the morning. It would be ok, wouldn't it? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

I'd love to, but I'm far away.

Good luck!

Are you still looking for teachers ?

Hi there!
Id like to help you out. I'm not a Native English Speaker but my English is quite good as I have studied it for other 10 years in Germany and I use to live in London. My English is proved by Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English (C1).
I moved here last week and don't have a motorbike (on the way to learn driving here). How do I get to there from Tran Nhat Duat, Tan Dinh, District 1?

Nice to hear you want to help, But I believe this is the crucial time for a child to learn ' proper ' English, I have a hard time trying to correct Vn's who have been taught by Vns, ( and others ), who thought their English was ' good ' enough.

Well my English is obviously better than the Vietnamese here cause I have an degree in International Tourism Management in two languages (English and Spanish) from a good school in Germany and I lived in Cali & London. Furthermore Im gonna do my postgraduate at Uni of Sheffield (Red Brick). So if you feel that you are superior to me come and talk to me. Just wanted to help:lol:

Your lucky, your pieces of paper will take you a long way in VN.
  I certainly  hope my English skills are ' superior ', ( as you put it ), to any Non Native English speaker, but , you go girl, they need all the help they can get. What I was getting at , is that it is twice as difficult, ( and frustrating for everyone ),  to teach some one , who has been taught the wrong way, but to many that doesn't matter as long as their English can be understood.

I think its easier for me to teach VN decent English than Native English speakers who dont speak Vietnamese. I can explain why it is wrong and how they should pronounce it. Of course my English isnt as good as a Native but its thousand times easier for me to correct in Vietnamese. BTW I can teach German too cause this is my Native language:)

Yes maybe you can open your German - Viet school.
   Most schools do not want the teacher to speak Viet, the students must think in English as well as speak it.  I have an online book, ( PM me your e-mail address, and I'll send it to you if you like ), it teaches the student how to position their tongue in their mouth, to pronounce those tricky words, i.e, words that start with TH, G, X, etc, etc, it is far more useful than trying to talk to the student in Viet. I have many students whose vocabulary is excellent, but no one can understand them when they speak,( I know how frustrating that can be ),  the result of many years of Vn English teachers. ( I'm the same speaking Viet, so I don't bother, unless it is really necessary ).

Dont waste time to explain for this girl , we wanna help the kids but the way she is trying to show is she needs a native speaker . then forger it.

Wow,  That's a lot to be expected for the older, ( and Rural ),  VN English teachers, ( just as well, as my wife does, they can usually teach other subjects without any trouble ), but as I believe, what's the point of learning something , if you can't learn it properly, the results will speak for themselves, or I should say , up until now, they have spoken .

Hi guys and gals, I'm calling for help again. We finish our first course next week and have other 3 new classes with 3 levels consisted of elementary, pre-intermediate and intermediate after that. And so far, we have been lack of volunteers helping in these classes. Due to some reasons, now the location of classes move to Dist. 7 (3 km far from Lotte Mart, Nguyen Huu Tho St., Dist. 7). Classes are on Tuesday and Thursday evening (from 7:00pm - 8:30pm). We really need your help now so pls send me a message/email or call me if you are willing to help. With many thanks, Huyen.
