Volunteer Teach Vietnam – Overview

Volunteer Teach Vietnam? The ability to speak English is a valuable skill that can give Vietnamese
children many opportunities for jobs and higher education.

The government, thus, encourages schools to recruit foreigners to teach English and reduce their support
for Vietnamese teachers who failed to meet standards set by the six-level ability framework of Project
2020. However, there is no action plan to support schools, especially those in the countryside, in
recruiting foreigner teachers, even though Vietnamese English teachers and school managers cannot
communicate with foreigners and have no knowledge about international recruitment and related issue.
This creates a feedback cycle that leaves disadvantaged Vietnamese schools even more behind in the
commitment to teach English.
 We are filling the gap by aiding these public schools and English learning centres in the countryside
through a holistic approach including business training, networking, and supported access to international
teachers/intern/volunteers to ensure their success.

Volunteer Teach in Vietnam – Help Required

Our mission is to serve low-income urban and rural families through educational programs. This
organization works with the belief that it is not necessary to “do different things” but to “do things
differently” regarding issues related to education. Our goal is to improve and expand English language
education, and plant the seeds of linguistic and cultural understanding that set students on a path toward
success in international business and diplomacy. Inspired by the women-empowering mission of Coins for
Change – TFC’s founder organization, we focus more on supporting female-led public schools and
English centers in urban and rural areas of Vietnam.
