Victoria Vose (Customer Service Coordinator, Ho Chi Minh City)
“After coming to Vietnam, I started at ILA on a part-time contract but now I am a full-time employee.  I began as a teacher, but now I divide my time between teaching, level testing, and working in the Customer Service Department as a coordinator.  I love working and living in Vietnam, the Vietnamese are wonderful students, and my colleagues are fantastic."

Laura Tatt (English Teacher, Da Nang)

“ILA is a great working environment.  There are endless resources, friendly staff, and teaching Vietnamese students is incredibly rewarding.  Plus, the lifestyle my boyfriend and I have in Vietnam we haven’t found anywhere else!”

Rudi Vorster (English Teacher, Vung Tau)

“Vietnam, because of its strategic location in South East Asia, is a great launch pad to travel to the rest of Asia.”

Chris Pyke (English Teacher, Ha Noi)

"Vietnamese students are really lots of fun in the class. They are focused and dedicated to their studies but are always willing to make the classes more fun by sharing amusing stories or telling jokes. They make you feel so much at home that you could easily become best friends with all your students within the first week. My Vietnamese learners have made my job as a teacher really enjoyable and make me want to keep innovating to provide them with more exciting and enjoyable classes that will still challenge them."

Johnny Willis (English Teacher, Young Learners, Ho Chi Minh City)

“After completing the CELTA course at ILA, which I found challenging and rewarding, I started working here soon after. Since then I have found the wealth of resources and the abundance of support make ILA the perfect place for a new teacher to start teaching.”

Briony Hewitt (Assistant Academic Manager, Ho Chi Minh City)

“I started two years ago as a teacher in the Young Learners Department where I found the workshops motivating and helpful. This encouraged me to think about bettering my teaching qualifications and I decided to do the DELTA. The pre-DELTA sessions offered by the school were really useful and helpful. Since completing the course, I have worked as an Academic Coordinator and now I am an Assistant Academic Manager. “

Cori Culhane (English Teacher, Ho Chi Minh City)

"ILA has made teaching easier with the excellent resources and helpful staff.  Teachers share ideas and members of management are always available.  Resources are a great help in planning for classes and just as importantly help bolster teacher development.  Additionally, up-to-date computers with internet access are available in the teacher’s room, while my students enjoy the same benefit with the free use of computers and multimedia in the ILC to enhance their English learning.“  

Aimee Denham (English Teacher, Ho Chi Minh City)

"I love the fact that the ILA Community Network helps me to be involved in the community here. From teaching English to doctors and nurses at the cancer hospital to volunteering with the kids in the cancer ward, I know that I am helping out in a positive way here."

Janet Bell (Teacher, Ho Chi Minh City)

“Travel in Vietnam is wonderful. The countryside is beautiful, Hue is an enjoyable, quiet, historic town, and Ha Long Bay is spectacular. It’s so easy to get around by bus, train, or plane!”
