Gotoco Vietnam Placement

I participated in Gotoco Vietnam from the beginning of July 2023 until the end of August 2023. I was placed in Thái Bình, a rather rural and poor place in Vietnam at an English Center called ‘New World English Center’. By participating in this internship run by Gotoco, I have managed to not only gain confidence in my teaching by getting hands on experience in teaching students of all ages who either do not speak English at all or do not speak it well, but I have also made lifelong friendships with other teachers that were placed with me. I lived in a rather fancy house with 7 other people (3 other girls and 4 boys) and we all clicked very well - we even travelled to different parts of Vietnam at the weekends together! Accommodation and meals were provided, and we were given breakfast (210,000 VMD) every week from the center. This programme is definitely worth it, especially if you are an avid traveller like me!
