Teacher's Friend - Vietnam

The experience I have had with the TFV program has been a great one. Even though I haven't had my certificate yet, I have comfortably been guided through the theory course and learned new tips and tricks by my tutor, Georgie. She's just great at teaching and doesn't give up, even if you are a little handful like me 😁
Thank you for getting me this far, I really cannot wait to actually teach and travel around the world.
If there are people who are 50/50 about doing this course, I recommend you guys to make the jump. You will meet lots of new people, travel and share your own knowledge with other people. It is a once in a life time opportunity, so do it with TFV.

We had an excellent experience with Georgie and Teachers' Friend Vietnam. Once we found her website and watched a few of her videos we knew we would contact her for advice on our trip to Vietnam and we weren't disappointed. Through emails and skype she gave us honest, detailed advice on the best way to proceed with our plans. She has extensive knowledge of the practicalities of teaching in Vietnam and has many contacts in the area. You always feel you are being given advice that's above board and practical. We would strongly recommend Georgie for anyone thinking of heading to Vietnam to teach.

Having the assistance of Teacher's Friend really made my move to Vietnam so much easier and reassuring. I was able to ask all the questions I had and I got amazing tips and pointers of things I hadn't even thought about. I was able to secure a job in almost no time and I am enjoying my job. Having someone to talk to who can give amazing and personal advice was the best resource I found when I was making the decision to move to Vietnam. The communication exchanges I've had were great and timely. I felt very supported before and after my transition to living in Vietnam.

My experience of Teacher's Friend Vietnam is based on an hour long skype call and several follow up emails with Georgie Snape. I am developing English language programmes based in Hai Phong and Georgie's advice and input were key in connecting me with the experts, front runners and people involved in best practice teaching English as an additional language in Vietnam. Georgie was a great listener and responded quickly to my particular information needs as well as making all engagement with her an absolute pleasure. She is the sort of personality that engages at all levels and in appropriate ways. She is someone I could see having ongoing contact with for her knowledge of the local context, expertise in the huge English Language teaching industry in Vietnam and simply for the pleasure of enjoying her engaging personality. Georgie is open to new ideas and motivated to facilitate people on their path here in Vietnam. Her advice has been relevant, valuable and appropriate to my needs. I recommend her highly as a first point of contact for teachers planning to come to Vietnam to work or upon arrival, like myself.

I signed up to the full relocation package that TFV offers. Georgie, the owner of this small niche business is ‘one of a kind’. From my initial enquiry to my current teaching journey in Vietnam, she has supported me every step of the way and surpassed my expectations. Her advice and willingness to help is ‘second to none’. Before I signed up, I researched her business, read about her and TFV reviews. I was immediately impressed, and honesty, inspired, by what she has achieved, and her passion to use that to help others have the same opportunity. This remains true to this day.

When you sign up to a service like this one, it is rare you actually get to meet the person that has been helping you prepare and lighten the burden of this life changing decision. I had the pleasure of meeting Georgie, who currently lives in Ho Chi Minh. I initially came to Vietnam with a plan, and that developed into a learning schedule which Georgie developed even further for me. Throughout the two weeks I was in Ho Chi Minh, she devoted her own time to personally train me and allowed me to observe her classes and others. Outstanding!

Georgie specialises solely in Vietnam. There are other businesses out there that offer a relocation service, but none like TFV. An all round professional service with a personal touch. It is a pleasure for me to recommend TFV to anyone wishing to pursue a move to Vietnam to teach.

My deepest gratitude goes out to Georgie and may our working relationship continue for years to come.
