Let Your Light Shine in Vietnam
Vietnam is a strikingly beautiful country filled with hospitable and fun-loving people. But beyond the breathtaking beaches and friendly smiles, lies a country longing to shake free of spiritual darkness. God is working in amazing ways in Vietnam, and now is a perfect time to join Him.
In the last decade, Vietnam has been increasingly opening its doors to Christians who desire to serve through teaching conversational English. Vietnamese students are typically warm, outgoing and eager to make American friends. TeachOverseas currently has opportunities for you to teach children through adults. Your natural gifts and abilities can be a true blessing to your students and the larger community.

Director's Notes
A note from the Regional Director: One of the hallmarks of Vietnamese culture is hospitality. Our teachers appreciate so much the warmth and caring of our host schools. Because Vietnamese students are required to learn English, our teachers are more than welcome to teach at a variety of different levels: from beginner to advanced, and from children to adults. We are currently serving in three different cities, and we hope to expand further. Come join us in this pioneering work in Vietnam for an exciting time as we watch God open up opportunities of service and outreach in the context of natural relationships!
This has been one of the best experiences I have ever done or will ever do in this life. Thank you TeachOverseas!
