Ha Noi (or Hanoi, in Vietnamese Hà Nội) is the capital city of Vietnam. Living & teaching in Ha Noi is really amazing! If you are planning on doing more than just passing through Hanoi, you can consider teaching English as a foreign language as a way to rice your income here. There are a lot of opportunities to do that, but you need to search for more correct information. Let me give you an overview of an English teacher in Hanoi and how to find an English teaching job in Hanoi.
Firstly, if you want to find a steady English teaching in this crowded city, your qualification is very essential. TEFL and CELTA are the most popular and they are common recognized. CELTA involves a bit more practical training while TEFL spends more time on grammar and the psychology of teaching. Besides, you may need a certain experience to be employed. Sometimes, this is not necessary but if you own from 1-3 years of teaching, you will have a great advantage. Moreover, the attitude is quite important in Hanoi, you need to become a sociable foreigner to receive good recognition.
One more thing is that you have to prepare to face the difficulty. Although the salary of English teaching is higher than in many other cities, some center can give you a quite low salary. Another thing to bear in mind is that teaching is often in the evenings and at weekends. It’s a rarity for an English teacher to just work during the hours of 08:00-18:00.
