Think twice before working here

I worked at ILA Vietnam from March till October 2011. The children were a joy to teach, generally fun and well behaved. The school was also relatively well equipped. However the management were unreliable and dishonest. They gave me a 12 month contract and then revoked it after enrollment dropped down. This was frustrating as I felt like I worked really hard while other teachers were slacking around.

My advice for new teachers in Vietnam is that you're not really hired to teach, just to be a white face. The main factor determining your employment success is who you go drinking with.
