Real Teachers. Real Vietnam.
Most people arrive excited — and a little nervous about the change. Here’s how it actually felt to land in Ho Chi Minh City and start teaching.
“I was worried about the visa process and fitting in at first, but the myTEFL team managed everything smoothly. The Vietnamese locals are very welcoming to foreigners. I’ve built a great community here, and the café culture really suits my vibe and lifestyle.”
"As a non-native speaker, I needed to show my IELTS proficiency, but once I arrived, the schools treated me with a lot of respect. The salary lets me save much more than back home, and it’s very easy to travel around Southeast Asia from here in my free time."
"Coming from Germany, I really appreciated the structure of the orientation week—it helped me settle in without feeling overwhelmed. What surprised me most was the work–life balance. Outside of teaching, I’ve explored the coast and travelled during longer breaks. Living here feels like real freedom"
