Everyone was so lovely and kind! They make you feel like family and are very flexible! They are open to ideas to make things improve! And with the students, it usually feels like you're talking with friends! I'll be back soon! It's truly one of my favorite experiences!

It was an amazing experience that brought me so many good things, especially new friendships and knowledge. Harry, Alex and all the staff welcomed me so kindly that I felt comfortable from the very first day! The school provides opportunities for Vietnamese students to meet and talk with volunteers as an extra activity . Everything is well organized — they explain your tasks in advance and support you with information about the lessons. All the students are committed and eager to learn — they're super nice! The accommodation is good, with a very pleasant atmosphere. Go there and enjoy the coliving!

Had a nice experience volunteering at this homestay! Everyone I taught during my time here were really nice. The staff are also very friendly. The cleanliness of the homestay could potentially be improved a little. Other than that, would recommend!

Everyone is really friendly! You sleep in a dorm with other volunteers and you have plenty of free time to discover the student area of Hanoi. A bus to the center takes about 45 minutes. The tasks are truly just practicing speaking with the (mostly adult) students for a few hours each day. Would definitely recommend this experience!

Mie and Sean are warm, kind and welcoming people. Every morning there's a team meeting to make sure everyone knows what's expected of them. The tasks are mostly preparing materials for classes, sometimes having an online support session or sitting in with a group class. Meals are all home-cooked and the hosts even made sure there were vegetarian options for me. The house is state of the art and incredibly clean. There are bikes available, so you can explore the region and all its coffeeshops. I recommend biking to Duong Lam! It's a perfect place to have few weeks of "calm" :)
