English Teacher Needed in Quy Nhon, Vietnam

Discovery Language Center two years ago and has grown into one of the more well-respected language centers in Quy Nhon City, on the coast in South-Central Vietnam. We are currently looking for a full-time teacher to start work in September/October 2019. The bulk of our classes are for children and teens but we also run several Adult and IELTS classes.

We offer full-time contracts for 60 or 80 hours per month. Opening salary ranges from USD16-18 per hour+ (depending on qualifications and experience), paid monthly in VN dong. Income tax is deducted at the standard rate.

Responsibilities: 
* teaching a range of courses and ages 
* administering and marking tests 
* assisting with extra-curricular activities 
* writing student reports 
* conducting placement tests

As part of the employment package we offer: 
* visa and work permit fees paid 
* ongoing professional development 
* a good range of resources 
* professional and personal support 
* assistance in getting established in Quy Nhon

We’re looking for native speakers or high-level non-native speakers (proof of proficiency is needed - IELTS or similar). We want teachers who will take the job seriously. Experience is a plus, but a professional attitude to teaching is far more important. With the recent changes in labor laws in Vietnam, the procedures for obtaining a work permit are much more stringent. Applicants will need have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, a recognised TEFL certificate and a police record check from your country, all of which need to be notarised in your native country. You will also require a health check from a local hospital.

About Quy Nhon 
Quy Nhon (population approx 300,000) has one of the most relaxed lifestyles of any city in Vietnam. Surrounded by hills with lovely beaches, numerous cafés and restaurants and stunning coastal drives to the north and south it is one of the undiscovered treasures of Vietnam. There’s a small but growing expat community here (Facebook: “Quy Nhon Expats” and “Expats and Locals in Quy Nhon”). The cost of living is quite low compared to the big cities in Vietnam. Houses can be rented for under USD200 per month and a furnished apartment for around USD300. The city also offers some of the tastiest, freshest and most inexpensive seafood in Vietnam. Traffic is more tolerable and the crime rate is much lower than in any of the big cities. Quy Nhon is well positioned as a base from which to travel around Vietnam. The local airport is well-served by the major airlines in Vietnam and air fares are quite low. We’re also just off the Hanoi-Saigon railway line - four hours to Nha Trang and six hours to Da Nang by rail.
