It has been a great experience working in Vietnam and Xplore Asia has been great.
I received constant updates from Riyaad about my placement and also visa status and all the procedures too. After arriving in Vietnam, I was given all the help and assistance.
I will definitely recommend Xplore Asia to potential teachers who would seek an adventure to live and work in a foreign country and embrace a new culture.
It has been a great experience for me so far and I am grateful to Xplore Asia helping me fulfill my dream job.

Pros
  • Great staff support & guidance & introduction of the culture
  • Accommodation was very convenient.
  • Experience of teaching in a school
Cons
  • The program could have been condensed into 2-3 days max instead of 5 days.
  • Day trip to the chef Tang. Probably a great experience of learning new things but the chef's attitude was erratic.

The perfect first step into teaching and cultural immersion

I did my XploreAsia course in Saigon, Vietnam about two months ago and now I am teaching full-time, living with friends I met on the course, and truly loving every minute of the experience. XploreAsia is the perfect way to begin your journey abroad, both in terms of teaching English and cultural immersion/integration into a new country. The course began with an orientation week where we learned about Vietnamese history, culture, and language, this included excursions with the whole group to famous tourist attractions. This really helped me gain an understanding of the country that I was about to live in which is so important for an ex-pat. The TESOL course was great and sets you up nicely for when you eventually get into your classroom as there are two practicals (one in a language centre and one in a public school). If you are looking for a program that gives you a headstart with cultural immersion with many others in the same boat as you and provides an amazing teaching course....then XploreAsia is the one for you!

Pros
  • Cultural Immersion
  • Making friends
  • Help with visas and other fun bureaucratic matters

XploreAsia teaching in Vietnam program

XploreAsia are great at helping you settle into life in Vietnam, sorting you out with places to work, and are just amazing at processing all the neverending pieces of paperwork that needs completing!

They're amazing at answering any questions to help settle nerves and do a great job making sure you know that you aren't alone even when you feel like you are. They're aware that moving to a foreign country to live and work in is a daunting prospect, so they help as much as they can with helping you acclimatise to your new surroundings.

Pros
  • Great response time to emails
  • Well organised
  • Friendly members of staff
Cons
  • Could offer more advice as standard when it comes to helping you look for permanent accomodation
