TEFL forum

Hi All.

I am new to the forum and joined because the company I work for is looking to setup English and hospitality programmes in Vietnam. I am responsible for setting up the programmes and arranging teachers etc. I have a few questions on the hiring process and contracts for teachers in Vietnam.

I am looking for comments and opinions from teachers and also people who have hired teachers.

- What are average rates of pay for foreign teachers (qualified and experienced)?
- What are the standard terms of employment (conditions, benefits, bonuses, hours per week etc)?
- Do teachers often work on a casual or part-time basis, or full-time?
- What is the usual hiring process for foreign teachers in Vietnam?
- In general how easy is it to find ESl teachers? What about the availability of hospitality lecturers with hotel/restaurant management experience?
- How long does it usually take to find teachers?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Not sure if this is still relevant to you, but have a look here: http://www.eslbase.com/advice/vietnam - it should answer some of your questions.
