It was very fun and prepared me for teaching!

It was a great month the course was a perfect balance of fun and learning. Sadie taught by example and highlighted too many of us the level to aspire to achieve in teaching. This high level of teaching training combined with Chi’s insane networking skills ensured that getting a job after the course was a breeze. I’m very thankful for ninja teacher as it not only improved my teaching ability but also helped me form a close social group in Saigon. To anyone considering doing it I would encourage you to definitely give it a go!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I think the most nerve-wrecking time was my final lesson which was being assessed I felt panicked and underprepared. But I just centred myself and took a deep breath and I really enjoyed the class!
Pros
  • Increases confidence with public speaking
  • Improved teaching capabilities
  • Made good friends
Cons
  • Could of learned more about kindergarten teaching

Amazing support and course

The ninja teacher course is a great choice if you want to be prepared to teach english and get settled in Vietnam. The course itself is taught by amazing and inspiring teachers. They teach us how to teach english in fun thought provoking ways that bring the class together. After the course the job team led by the AMAZING Chi guide you smoothly from the course to a job. They even give plenty support after the course and guide you through things like setting up bank accounts and what to look out for when applying for business visas. The community that this program fosters is very meaningful, especially as someone who never even visited Vietnam before.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
During the course we have to do solo teachings. Going to a new class of kids to apply what you learn in the course is terrifying at first, but once the lesson gets going you start to feel more confident.

Ninja Teacher TEFL

I came into this course with no teaching knowledge nor experience. After the 4 weeks were finished I had learned an incredible amount of information teaching to young learners and adults. The course also presents you with multiple opportunities to observe and teach classes at local centers before you finish the course. I found this extremely helpful to see the reality of how classes are structured and what is expected of the teacher. The teacher trainers at Ninja Teacher provided quality support from day 1 and are still available to the Ninja Community, if needed, beyond course completion

Great way to restart life

My classmates were all running from something but found a new home in this program

Thor and mattalyn were great classmates and overall everyone was awesome to be around

The cost is minimal and the time is minimal for the overall reward but it is an intense session that will leave you exhausted once completed. I'm not sure where else you would go if not for Ninja Teacher. They did everything before hand to make it all as easy as possible.

My only regret is not doing this sooner. I've got little for me back in the states

What was your funniest moment?
Watching my classmates not hold down their alcohol. Vietnam drinks are strong and American girls think they can handle it lol!
Hint: M;)

Pros
  • fast
  • value filled
  • straight forward
Cons
  • none

Be a Ninja

From top to bottom, this course was worth it. I learned so much about teaching that I didn’t know, I met so many people that helped me out and I got set up for a job I’m very happy with.

Before the course even started, they helped me get everything ready to go for the move to Vietnam. To have a structure and system in place is what gave me the piece of mind that I needed to make the leap.

I recommend Ninja teacher to anyone and I recommend that you take the leap.

Shoutout to Alex, Chi, Miranda and Sadie! Thank you all🙏🏻

What was your funniest moment?
Too many memories. I have some new very close friends after this program. Brothers that I’m grateful for.
Pros
  • Organization
  • Learning
  • Set up for success

Ninja Teacher TEFL Course

Hands down, the best academic and professional decision I have made in the past decade was to enroll in the Ninja Teacher Academy TEFL program. From Miranda's facilitation in getting us prepared, Chi's all round support and wizardry in making our transition from newbies to qualified teachers a seamless affair, to Sadie's incredible teaching skills and patience in moulding us into educators who will not crumble under any potential pressure while showing us the paramount importance of dedication and preparation; all under the watchful and kind stewardship of Alex, Ninja Teacher is a no brainer for any folks who wish to teach in Vietnam.

It is invaluable in aiding in that transition, creating a network, working closely with other teachers in training, gaining first hand experience, and being part of a well respected alumni. My experience with Ninja Teacher will not only serve me well while in Vietnam, but has provided me with transferable skills that will benefit me for many years to come.

Thank you Ninja Teacher Academy. 10/10

Pros
  • Thorough education with amazing focus on the fundamentals of TEFL teaching
  • First hand experience
  • Networking and engagement with schools for job opportunities
Cons
  • Lack of warning about the intensity of the course

Ninja In Class TEFL

I was really impressed with the staff and the instructors at the ninja course. I am not sure how I would be able to teach without all that I learned there. There support staff wwas especially helpful in coordinating and helping with job, interviews etc.. the school set up observations and solo teaching opportunities for us, which was quite valuable to gain important experience. Yes, you could save money with a cheaper online certificate, but the end class with all the support and job search help is well worth every amount of money spent. Choose ninja! You will be happy with your choice.
Best of success to you!

Pros
  • World-class instructors

Ninja Teacher in person TESOL course

This course is great for those who are thinking of working and living in Asia. The people here are very supportive even after you complete the course and willing to help you however they can. The instructors were highly motivated and supportive. The gatherings they do are also great and encourages bonding with the community. The course itself has the content to make sure that you start your job with your head up and motivated. They were also very helpful with the job searching and placement assistance process.

Pros
  • Community
  • Support
  • Teaching
Cons
  • Loud Traffic
  • Barclays card sometimes not working on ATM
  • ...and I guess getting used to moving to a completely new country takes time

NINJA Teacher Review

I completed the 4-week in-person TEFL course at Ninja Teacher in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in October 2022. Ninja Teacher is a great option for anyone looking to get certified to teach English abroad. The course is well-structured, and the teachers are experienced and knowledgeable. The best part is that they also offer job placement assistance which is very useful. I received a lot of help from the staff at Ninja Teacher and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to teach English abroad, especially in Vietnam.

Pros
  • The course is well-structured, and the teachers are experienced and knowledgeable.
  • They offer job placement assistance

Ninja Teacher was excellent!

Ninja Teacher was fantastic at every step of the way. They were very supportive about getting your documents and affairs in order to get into vietnam. once you were there, their staff was knowledgeable and helpful in every regard from wear to buy a belt to who to rent a motorbike from. The course is intensive and includes live observations of actual TEFL teachers and eventually gives you the experience of teaching your own solo classes (with plenty of support).

Once you finish the course they work with you at every step to make sure you have a job. not one person from our class didn't have an offer within 1 week of finishing the course. Not only that, but they told you which companies to stay clear of and vetted any contracts that seemed off.

Pros
  • Awesome support
  • Virtually assured job placement in reputable company
  • Make friends with your classmates
Cons
  • teaching your first couple solo classes is a bit terrifying
