Program Details

The main purpose for this project is that I want to create a fun and friendly environment for Vietnamese people practicing English speaking.

As far as you know, in Vietnamese we do not have a lot of opportunities to improve our speaking. So that's why I am here.

I would like to look for volunteers who are:
- Fluent in English.
- Easy-going and open-minded.
- Flexible.

Most of my students are adults (over 18), 2 of them are teenagers (14-15) and 1 kid (8).
All of them are friendly and eager to learn English.
I really want to make the lessons simple and fun so they can learn English easily. I do a lot of methods: learning by English songs, common topics, simple grammar and games,...

Besides, volunteers will have a lot of opportunities to experience our local life. We would love to show you around the city on weekends, go to my extended family to have lunch and dinner together.

Activities & Shift

We only have classes in the mornings and evenings.
- In the morning: 1-2 classes.
- In the evening: 1-3 classes.
One class usually lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour and a half (it depends).

The schedule is flexible, so I will send the schedule to volunteers by the end of the week. If there's anything change, I will let you know as soon as possible.

I do have a classroom here with all of necessary materials for the lessons: a TV, a white board, tables, chairs,...
I also have a spare laptop, so you can use it for the teaching.

Rules

- Prepare the lessons carefully before the classes.
- Do not wear shorts (skirts are ok).
- Do not wear hats/caps.
- Prepare some games just in case.
- Be on time.
