Help with English Teaching and Conversation in Hanoi, Vietnam

Free Volunteering 1 February 2023 Asia, South East Asia, Vietnam

Come Volunteer Teaching in Hanoi Vietnam with us. Live abroad, learn new skills and impact the lives of others.

About Us:

We are a non-profit organization for educational development, cultural exchange, and charity based in Vietnam, specializing in helping our students with their education, training, skills development, and international cooperation.

Our Aim:

We believe that education is fundamental to sustainable development. We aim to create an open and fair learning environment for all our participants to learn. At many universities in Viet Nam, students learn a lot of English grammar but rarely are they taught to speak English. Once they graduate, then, they have difficulties finding employment in the best-paying jobs, which often require these English language skills.

Volunteer Teaching in Hanoi Vietnam – What else?

WHERE WILL I LIVE?

All volunteers will live in the volunteer apartment in exchange for teaching. The apartment is located in the Nam Từ Liêm district of Hanoi. It is outside the city center, but still within Hanoi. It is a quiet area of town and across the street from Keangnam Hanoi Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Vietnam.

The apartment is located in a very safe complex with a big courtyard surrounded by a couple of cafes and a corner store. Within a 10 min walk are banks, grocery stores, a local market, a clinic, a pharmacy, malls, a gym, a yoga centre, a movie theatre, bowling, a swimming pool, etc. The VCV Community Classroom is also within walking distance of the apartment.

WHAT AMENITIES WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE?

The apartment comes with WiFi, laundry, hot water, AC, & TV. The volunteer apartment is co-ed and will have three to four volunteers per room, with a maximum of ten volunteers living in the apartment. Each volunteer will get their bed with blankets and pillows. There are two washrooms in the apartment with showers and toilets.

WHAT WILL WE EAT?

Volunteers get three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast is usually light — coffee, tea & bread with jams or fruit. Lunch & dinner will be served family style for all of the volunteers, together. Meals are mainly local foods like; pho, spring rolls, fried rice, curries, stir-fried meats, and veggies. We will also make simple dishes like pasta, so no one gets too homesick. Don’t worry, we are accommodating vegetarians, vegans, or those with food allergies.

HOW WILL I GET AROUND?

There are many forms of transportation available. The bus stop is a three-minute walk from the apartment and has 11 different routes available to go throughout the city. (Bus 22A takes you directly to Old Quarter, which is where you will most likely be frequenting.) Bus tickets around Hanoi are VND ₫3,000/USD 0.15 and to nearby provinces VND ₫15,000-₫25,000/USD 0.65-$1.10. The bus station that takes you to nearby provinces and out of town is a 15-minute walk away, which can facilitate your travels around the area.

We would recommend downloading the Grab (similar to Uber) application and setting it up before arriving.

We recommend that when traveling that you have your own travel insurance.
