Program Reviews

I was hesitating for a year before deciding to contact Ninja teacher and I’m so glad I did. Everyone in the staff was so helpful, thorough and supportive from the pre-arrival to during the course to job placement assisting to any question after the course. Anything from paperworks, getting settled in Vietnam to the smallest thing like where to buy rubber sandals for the rain. You wont be alone. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I belong and have a community to turn to. Thank you Ninja family! Love y’all!

I had an incredible experience with the Ninja Teacher TEFL course! From day one, the staff were personable, approachable, and genuinely invested in our success. Sadie, our instructor, was phenomenal—she didn't just teach us techniques; she demonstrated them in real-time, making each class both engaging and incredibly effective. The energy in the course was always positive, which made for an amazing learning environment.

One of the most rewarding parts was being thrown into teaching almost immediately. We were tasked with creating in-depth lesson plans, which was challenging, but it accelerated our learning in the best way possible. I came away with such a strong foundation in teaching thanks to the hands-on approach. It was intense, but I’m thrilled with what I gained.

The job placement process was seamless. Chi, Ngoc, and Miranda took care of all the logistics, so I could focus on finishing the course. Whenever any issue popped up, they were quick to resolve it, and their support made me feel fully supported from start to finish.

The course itself wasn't easy, but that's what made it worth it. I not only feel prepared to teach but also connected to a group of inspiring individuals I met along the way. I can confidently say that I walked away with both the skills and connections needed to succeed. If you're serious about teaching and want a course that genuinely prepares you for it, I couldn't recommend Ninja Teacher enough!

I have been teaching English in Vietnam for six months now. During this time, I’ve reflected on my experience with Ninja Teacher and thought about who I would be if I hadn’t taken their TEFL course. Without it, I would have arrived in May with just an online TESOL/TEFL certification, lacking a support system, mentors, and any real passion for the profession. Now, I’d like to share what Ninja Teacher offers that goes beyond what they advertise, qualities that a typical promotion wouldn’t convey authentically.

Ninja will make you love and understand the discipline of teaching:
Saddie Maddocks has crafted a comprehensive curriculum that not only covers teaching methodologies but also demonstrates them in action. You learn to be both her student and an emerging teacher. Her mentorship shows a level of finesse and passion that is truly infectious.

Friendships:
You’ll gain access to a supportive alumni network and classmates who can enrich your daily life. Ninja gave me a strong social foundation within days of arriving in Vietnam.

Job Placement:
The best compliment you can give a business owner is that they hire well, and Alex has built a team that is talented, hardworking, and attentive. Within a week of finishing Ninja Teacher’s program, I received three job offer, this is a direct result of their administrative expertise.

The Ninja Teacher Training Academy was an overall 10/10 experience. From facilitating my move to Vietnam, to the invaluable class instruction and then finally job placement, I was very impressed every step of the way. It has been a very smooth process and I was able to find work at a very reputable English language center within two weeks of completing the course. They have also continued to provide me with any assistance needed, I can honestly say the teaching and support staff have gone above and beyond to ensure they have provided me with all the tools and support needed to be highly successful in this new career.

Amazing course, would recommend to anyone. The entire staff, from onboarding, support, and the instructor were all too notch. They will do everything they can to help you adjust to life in Vietnam. The support doesn't stop with the course either. The instructor is one of the best I've ever had regardless of level or subject. If you're thinking of taking this course I would strongly suggest that you do. I had never traveled to Asia before so the support aspect was a huge draw for me and it did not disappoint.

The Ninja course introduces you to a group of people who will be studying with you, and provides opportunities to create last friends outside of the course. There is a monthly meet-up to help new teachers/students socialize and meet everyone, and alumni are free to join.

Their job placement program helped me get a job within a week of completing the course. It does NOT cost extra like some other courses I looked at. The provide details into required documents, how to get them, tax laws, and recommend a lot of foreigner friendly services from everything like dentist, doctor, mental health, or where to buy cheese.

I couldn’t rate this course much higher! Excellent support from everyone at Ninja Teacher and I feel ready to start my career and begin life in a new country! All the pre-course support was invaluable, the course itself is the ideal starter program to get classroom ready and the post-course assistance is second to none. I wholeheartedly recommend Ninja teacher! Big love to Sadie, Alex, Chi, Gem, Ivy, Miranda, Seb, Jacob and everyone else behind the scenes at ninja teacher who make the magic happen!

An amazing course, well worth the investment. Sadie is a fabulous teacher with a wealth of experience. The pre and post course support from Miranda and Chi is second to none.

I had two interviews the day after the course ended and have just accepted a full time position.

Can’t thank Ninja enough!

I have made some great friendships through the course and know that Ninja will be there should I have any unanswered questions or need support.

The food in Vietnam is an added bonus. If you are considering travelling to Vietnam, you won’t regret it.

My hubby and I wanted to see the world and landed in Vietnam - LOVE IT! The Ninja Teacher Academy is 100% student-centric! The training and support provided to students is outstanding. The YouTube channel only scratches the surface on how wonderful the program is for newbies. As an older student, job placement was set to be a challenge. Yet, NTA connected me with a centre in Nha Trang that rarely has openings. The NTA team was the best!!! If you're on the fence, just DO IT! You won't regret it!

I found Ninja Teacher online and plenty of great reviews made them stand out from other courses. Having done the in person course in Vietnam I am so glad I chose them! They provided all the support I could have asked for months before leaving for Vietnam with plenty of tips and logistical information to help me get prepared and set up in country. Meeting the staff and my classmates was great, we had a great group who still catch up and having that instant community made HCMC feel like home much faster. The course itself was fantastic, our teacher was very experienced, professional, engaging, she was a great role model for aspiring teachers and brought such a great energy to the class throughout the course. The course can be challenging, it is a lot of important information and concepts packed into four short weeks and includes mock teaching, class observations and actual teaching, as well as lesson planning. This made it sometimes intimidating (the course materials supply a list of organisations you can contact if you need support with your mental health and wellbeing while in country), but it is ultimately the best way to get a round experience of what teaching is/feels like in Vietnam. The staff did a fantastic job of making me feel supported especially during the application stage, and I found a position I am very happy with within 15 days! Choose Ninja Teacher, they're reputation online is well deserved, and their reputation with schools in Vietnam will give you a great head start with finding work 👍🏽
