Ngoai Ngu Tran Tien

We are a volunteer experience that offers a unique blend of being able to help the local people of my town learn English (which in Vietnam is an incredibly useful resource for supporting the future of the people here) and experience what life is like for the local people of Vietnam, away from the larger tourist hotspots. In an environment that is both relaxed and fun!

We have been operating as a school since 2022, however we have only previously accepted volunteers through instagram, which you can find at ''travelers_teach_english4kids''. We are still quite new to Worldpackers, so if you would like to see more about the school I recommend viewing our profile page there! Volunteers at my homestay can expect to be provided 3 meals a day, accomodating all types of diet. Getting to see around my local area during the day and hanging out in the evenings after class, playing games and having a laugh with a couple of drinks too! Classes themselves should be straightforward even for those with no previous teaching experience. We provide lesson plans and learning materials for you!

Tien is an amazing host , he is very welcoming into his home and really goes abobe and beyond to be there for you with anything you need . It’s a great work / life balance and you have a lot of free time to do your own things . Teaching English was a first for me but I’m glad I did it here as they really made it easy to start , the kids and other teaching aids are so grateful for you to be here . I truly recommend this to anyone wanting to try out teaching English , meeting other travellers and seeing what a small Vietnamese town and the people are like :)

I've been here for two weeks and they've gone by way too quickly.
The project at the school is truly wonderful; the children are amazing and happy to learn. For sure, you will have a lot of fun!!
Sharing the experience with the other volunteers made it all perfect.
Delicious food, karaoke nights, and excursions on free days.
Highly recommended.

I stayed at Teins English School for three weeks and felt instantly welcomed and supported. Dana and Owen, the English teachers, were amazing—super helpful and made teaching feel easy, even as a beginner. We taught for three hours each evening and received three meals a day, snacks, and great support in return. Expectations were clear, and the balance of work and free time was perfect. On days off, Tein took us around his town, sharing local culture and helping us connect with the community. The friendships with other volunteers and locals made the experience truly special.

I had a really good time staying here. From the start, the host( Tien) was incredibly helpful, especially with arranging transport to and from the place, which made things so much smoother for me. The work itself was fair and quite enjoyable. Tien really goes out of his way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and well looked after. You can tell he genuinely cares about the volunteers. Overall, I felt welcomed and supported throughout my stay and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking

I had a great time during my first volunteer experience. Tien was an amazing host — he accommodated us well and provided everything we needed. He was very patient and helpful, both with us and with the kids. It’s no surprise the kids like him so much! He always did his best to help and encourage them to speak more English, and he even organized activities to strengthen the bond between the kids and the volunteers.
