Great opportunity

As someone with little experience teaching abroad, I wasn’t sure how to get going with it. I had never taught or even travelled to Asia before. My experience teaching in Hanoi was made so much easier with the support of TFT.
The initial support before flying out from Jaemi was great and helped to ease my nerves massively. He was able to answer any questions I had throughout the placement process and was very informative. We were also provided with a survival guide and other resources with useful information on life in Vietnam. The video call with Will and Molly was really helpful to answer any last minute questions in the weeks leading up to departure.
Once arriving in Vietnam, the meet ups with Hannah and Aled were a really great way to meet everyone and get settled in. The group chat that TFT organises is also great and means the social side of things and making friends is super easy. You can also message Jaemi if you ever have any concerns or questions once you have started your placement and throughout the year.
Overall, I’ve had a great experience. It’s definitely a good way to get started with teaching, meet new people and gives you the opportunity to travel parts of Vietnam too :)
