Best course!

I’m so glad I stumbled upon ninja teacher. My experience in Vietnam would have been a lot different without them. Not only did they teach me how to actually teach in a classroom setting, they taught me to compose lesson plans and generally provided me with all necessary tools I needed to teach in this country. They helped with accommodation information, where to rent/buy bikes, all the information you need really. They have such a good support system which I still take advantage of 7 months after my course.

Ninja teacher also has a great community of alumni who all have no problem helping you if you need advise.

Ninja teacher is so much more than a tesol certificate (which can I add is absolutely vital) they are like a family who hold your hand and welcome you here with open arms.

Ninja Review

I thought the course was pretty straight forward. Intense in the beginning and then more preparation for teaching life in Vietnam towards the end. I think it would be helpful to address the options earlier in the course because saving it all for the last week was a bit of an information overload and then people are rushing into decisions because of finances. I might try to rearrange that organizational part of that aspect. I also was unaware that we would be responsible for finances like getting transportation to and from classes if it was on the weekend or on the way back. That money really adds up when you're on a budget. I didn't like that we didn't get say in the times of our lessons or observations and that some of them were very inconvenient times but still a requirement. I would recommend this course if you are looking for top notch preparation to be a teacher but for someone who just wants to work short term and teach abroad I would recommend they just come because they will find a teaching job with or without a TESOL certificate.

What would you improve about this program?
I would make it less primary age focused and equally incorporate other age ranges in the activities and so on.

Worth Every Penny!

Ninja Teacher Academy was such and amazing experience! I was excited to go to class everyday and learn from knowledgeable trainers. I have finished the course will all the skills and confidence I need to become a great ESL teacher in Vietnam!

This course was not easy, it was a long month of practice and learning. Ninja Teacher makes sure that you have everything you need to succeed though. We went through a bunch of learning modules, three teaching observations, one peer teaching, and three solo teachings at real schools located in Ho Chi Minh City.

Ninja Teacher has such a great reputation and strong connections in the city. Learning centers know who Ninja Teacher is and the quality of teachers they produce. Everyone in our class was getting job offers right away!

Overall just a great experience!

TESOL Certofication

Ninja Academy is a great organization and there is not a better way to get tesol certified. The actual class provided me with a massive amount of information and techniques to become a very effective teacher. The benefits did not stop there. Ninja Academy hosts numerous events that encourage current students, alumni, and staff to get to know each other. Ninja Academy also provides a vast amount of resources to their students that we are able to access long after completion of the course. Following the completion, Ninja’s staff took nearly total control of the job search. This course is for more than just the certificate, but also lifelong information and relationships and full grasp of what it means to be a great teacher. I have a full time position and can already see how prepared I am because of Ninja Academy.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve racking moment was preparing for my first of three solo teaching periods. With the help of the teachers and staff at Ninja I created a lesson plan and fully understood the most efficient way to project it. That confidence in the material let me get over the nerves and perform great.

Everything you're hoping for and more

So this will sound like a paid promotion, I really have nothing bad to say about Ninja Teacher Academy, and I do not want to force myself to find any flaw in their program. Of course, I wasn't paid or given anything to write this review, there is just some love to share. The only small technical concerns I had with the program, I told the team and they rectified them within a few days.

There are lots of TESOL programs out there and making a choice is tough. I chose Ninja Teacher amongst all of them because they looked human to me. Real people, not a faceless bland corporation.

I was part of the July 2019 Class and I wasn't disappointed. NTA is as organic as an educational program can be. Alex and his team are real people that will care about your wellbeing and your progress every day. They will send you messages regularly before, during and after the program to make sure you are doing well. They'll do everything in their power to make sure the transition from your old life to your life in Vietnam is as easy and seamless as can be.

Some of my friends in the program went through real personal hardships during the training and I have seen the extra hours and stress that the NTA team put themselves under to offer you a personalized safe space and support system for you to achieve your goals.

I was a teacher back home before the program and I can also certify that the training, although intensive, will teach you how to teach from A to Z, so do not worry if you never had any experience teaching before.

I took part in many programs in my life but NTA is more than a program, it's my Vietnamese foster family.
If you have any question to ask about my experience with NTA, feel free to shoot me an e-mail at leonoel06@yahoo.fr

Love it and really reccomend it.

Great practical in class lessons that guide you properly how to teach and lesson plan. The staff there miranda, chi, kyle, and alex are amazing and will go above and beyond to help you grow as a teacher and secure a job. It is expensive versus the traditional online tesol but with out it I would be lost. Will always recommend Ninja teacher academy to any new coming teachers to Vietnam.

What would you improve about this program?
Trying to allow us to observe bigger better centres in hopes of observing what a good teacher is like.

Ninja Teacher TESOL Course is Fantastic

If you are looking to get your TESOL certificate then this is the place to go. The value of the material, support staff, and credibility of the name Ninja Teacher in HCMC are worth their weight in gold. I feel prepared and ready to teach after the high intensity one month course and they helped me land a job almost immediately! The Ninja Teacher name really helped me open doors I wouldn’t have been able to open as someone with no previous teaching experience. Cannot recommend enough for people looking to teach English and travel or lower debt. The ability to have so much help means that you can focus on why you came and don’t have to figure everything out by yourself! Great program run by great people! They made it really easy to acclimate to life in Vietnam and were really helpful getting everyone on the same page and right into the class.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make sure you plan for a full month long course. There are several observations and you will be solo teaching in schools and these fall outside of the 9-4 class schedule so you will be busy learning for the whole month don’t make any travel plans before you get your schedule!
