My Uc Au center

My name is Ty (pronounced 'Tee'). I was born in 1972. I live in Hong Ngu, Vietnam. I have a wife and 2 young children. They currently live in Ho Chi Minh City while I work in Hong Ngu.

I started an English Center in 2015 to help the less fortunate children in the area learn English.

I enjoy coffee, music, soccer, and the occasional beer.
We are looking for volunteers to speak English with our student. We are in Hong Ngu Town, Dong Thap Province. We have the sweetest children that are so interested to learning English from foreigners. Please come to visit our center.
We opened this English Center to help children who don't have a lot of money. We rarely have many chances to speak english with foreigners. We have no foreigners in this town. Thus, we'd love if you could come speak to them and help them practice English.
If you have no experience in teaching or if you are not confident - do not worry! Our primary goal is for the children to speak to you. You do not have to be a professional at teaching - just be a fun and kind person. This is a very relaxed environment. If you teach a full lesson, we will provide a lesson plan to follow (very easy, do not worry)

There aren’t enough good words in the world to describe how much I enjoyed my stay at the centre. Ty is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and the children are such a delight to spend time teaching. Ty will take you to try all of the best food in town and sometimes some of the students will join too. Your tasks are mainly helping the children with their speaking and occasionally you will help them with reading too. Some days you can play sports like football, badminton, tennis and pool with Ty and the students which was so much fun. For me, the centre feels like home away from home.

This was an amazing experience! Ty is so kind and he gets along amazingly with the students and local community. The kids are smart and well behaved. They are anywhere from 6-18 and have different levels of English comprehension, which is great for practicing your communication skills. The food was amazing, and the town has multiple coffee shops to visit in your free time. You can expect to teach for a few hours in the morning, with a lunch and rest break, maybe 1-1.5 hours in the afternoon (not every day), and 2 hours in the evening. Accommodations were modest, but overall great experience.

I was welcomed very hospitably by Ty. The working hours are around 30 hours instead of 18 hours. Also no day off if you only come for 2 weeks. On Sunday it is only in the morning and you are free the rest of the day. The other days it is 2 or sometimes even 3 times a day. But you get a lot in return. 3 delicious meals a day. A minibus from HCMC and back. You have your own bedroom and air conditioning. Only no bed, but a mattress, and I thought that was fine. And you teach children who really want to learn English and are super sweet. The people in the city are realy friendly. Good experience!!

I had a very nice time at the center! I felt very taken care of. The rooms are very simple and basically just a mattress on the floor and not necessarily clean, but it was fine for me. The students are absolutely wonderful. Apart from the teaching there is not much to do, so beware of a little bit of boredom occasionally. Ty was a great host and very attentive!
