I had an excellent exchange and I definitely recommend. The host and his family are super nice and generous people; I'm really grateful for everything they offered me. The house- where you the home with the family- is nice and clean. You get delicious lunch the home-cooked dinner and the kitchen is well equipped. It's a nice and quiet area with rice fields in the outskirts of Hai Phong and there's a good gym nearby. The work was really fun and chill and the kids were super cute. The teacher I worked with (Anh) was also amazing. Work hours were well respected and even fewer than described.

I had an amazing time during this volunteering ! Mr T and his family were wonderful hosts and made me feel at the home the big plus were the delicious meals. I also had the chance to meet the teachers, who were super welcoming and friendly and who stayed present for me if I needed anything. The school works is quite chill and requieres you to have a medium english level, the mission is more about introducing them english and being present for them. On my free time, the teachers of the center were really caring, they showed me around and made me try some vietnamese food. Thank you so much !!!

I had a great experience teaching English at the center! The students are so motivated and thankful and Mr. T and his family are very kind and welcoming. The dinners are always incredibly delicious the home a nice atmosphere. The accomomdation is very Basic, but you can see that on the pictures in advance. The evening classes at the center with children, youth and adults are well organized and I always teached together with a Vietnamese teacher from the center. The school classes were sometimes spontaneous in the countryside! Thank you for hosting me as a volunteer, I would come again!

Mr. T and his entire family welcomed us very warmly; they are very friendly people. We were able to learn about the culture thanks to the month we spent here. We also met local people whom I now consider friends. Overall, it was a great experience. Additionally, if you come, Mr. T will provide you with a semi-automatic motorbike, as the center of the home is far from the place where the classes are held (which is also where you the home).

The host, Mr. T, was wonderful. Communication between us was clear and simple. As a host, Mr. T was accommodating and supportive to us and our needs. The food his wife provided for us was delicious and always a satisfying and delightful experience. Tutoring English to the kids and adults was fun and engaging.
