Sorry but was the video “can you teach in VN without a degree” produced in 2021? I saw a 2021 popping at some point and was wondering. I read the regulations are getting stricter lately as they are asking for 3 years of teaching experience abroad. Correct me if I’m wrong.

[@rebornabroad]

@Arnaud Nadon I can still get you jobs without a degree if your from a native speaking country or European country. It can still be done. It's getting harder but definitely still possible. Non native no degree. Can't do anything for you. So if you have a passport from US, UK, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand or a European country I can help. If not can't.

[@AJonYT]

Does South Africa still count?

[@rebornabroad]

@AJ if you're white, the Vietnamese will look the other way on documents. Non white South African, it will be really hard. SA passport isn't highly regarded, but it's certainly possible. We have a service for reliable contacts in HR here.

[@AJonYT]

@Reborn Abroad Yes I'm white. Myself and a few friends want to go to Vietnam to teach, preferably in the same city.

Loved your video....right to the point. I used to teach english in Korea around 20 plus years ago while I was in the service. It is EXACTLY like you described...lots of kids running around and you where there mostly to entertain them. I learned the language a bit and was great with the parents. I picked up LOTS of side classes for ridiculous money compared to my military salary. I bookmarked your page for future reference. I'm 56 and looking to possibly retire soon...I'm gonna check out Vietnam. I have a decent amount of $$$ set aside but wouldn't mind having a 20 hour a week gig while I was retired. I would be an easy sell...real teaching experience...6ft blonde American in decent shape. Yeah, I know that bullshit counts in Asia. My only question would be, ballpark, around how much do you think you can make a month doing this. Just an estimate would be great....Thanx.

[@rebornabroad]

Hey Paul, nice to meet you. Do you have a degree? In Vietnam, these days, it's still possible, but getting harder without it. If you do, then we'd have a lot of options. If not, it's still workable, just more complicated because the work permit will be expensive. You can normally get between 1500 and 2500 depending on who you work for and "appearances." Most people make around 1800 for 20 hours a week, but different people and different work loads can be more or less obvious. You can pm me on my Facebook fan page Reborn Abroad. We can discuss. I also have other contact information in the description below here, but the fan page works since if we do work together, I have a lot of contacts on messenger. I think you'll like it more than korea. It's more wild west here and the people are more chill. Let's catch up soon. I can also help with opening companies here for long-term visas.

@@rebornabroad I'm glad to hear that my friend. You and your girl need to come up my way to Lao Cai/Sapa and let me take you all out for dinner and adventure. Waterfalls, rice paddies, mountains or just cool spots to sip a drink and chill. There is money to be made out here man. it's an untapped market and I'm looking for a future business partner, advisor and people with vision and experience in the near future with some ideas about schools in Sapa. I want to cater to a special type of parent and be unique and the first language center. It's very hard to get this done due to the Ethnic tribes like Dao and H'mung not wanting to lose their culture and language, or be influenced by westerners but I have been networking and building connections over the years here getting my name and reputation known. These small rural Tier 3 and 4 cities are easy to get known, so its important to keep face, keep your word and play the game and don't be a piece of Sh*T as you know. I believe with the right agreements, money paid, permits with the local government and respect of the tribes and financial contracts with the elders, following their wishes about not changing their children's culture but simply giving them tools for success through education and spoken language. If this meant we as staff wore certain clothing in honor of the tribes or only taught things they approved, I and my business partner( still to be determined who) can make this work and honor our word. I want a top tier school with no slobs as teachers or people not realizing the work that went in to getting the school made. I think you would be a good judge of character being from the south and around the hustle of HCMC. I can imagine the types of scams, bad people and lazy teachers you have had to endure. I could use your help to ne honest for the North is VERY traditional and you just don't see that kind of stuff up here except from dumb @ss backpackers visiting Sapa. This is a work in progress but It's a goal my girl and I both share and are working on. We have already scouted out locations and looking in to the process and permit cost. Things are a lot more "by the book" here on the China borer so things have to be solid and the right people happy. I cant promise this dream of mine will happen for it all comes down to the tribes of Sapa but if it does, I know you are a business man, have connections and experience I lack and maybe could use a change of scenery. Sapa could get a language center started by early 2025 and THERE IS money to be made I assure you. Let me know your thoughts sometime brother. Cam on my friend!

[@rebornabroad]

SA isn't considered native speaker. Will be a similar category as Russians and Filipino. So you will be paid less than native speakers and treated worse. That being said, if you are white, I can definitely help you get a job. None white, no degree African passport no one I know in the industry would be interested. You can always try and go from place to place, and you definitely could get lucky. You just need to be careful. A lot of people will try and take advantage of you. It's a big market, so it's definitely possible. If you are white, younger looking, and not fat or with bad teeth, it will help. If you finish the BA, more options for sure and non white with a BA will be better chances. Just keep in mind that most schools will replace you if they can get a native speaker. Also, bear in mind I personally have met SA people who speak English clearly. The Vietnamese will not view you as a native. So short answer is sure it's possible with a few caveats.

Hey brother, we have a consulting service for perspective expats. We can arrange reliable employment contacts, visa, housing, etc. You can get a work permit until 60, and even then, sometimes coffee money can stretch that a bit. I know situations where people have gotten their work permits past 60. Age discrimination is big, but if you have a degree, white, or UK passport, you will be ok. The reality is that the market is big, but everything is about your value. Your value isn't based on ability or knowledge but on if people like you or not. If you're older but in good shape. It will matter less. If you're older and fat, they will use you to treat you badly or just abuse you. Obviously, international schools and such are different, but most average centers or public schools everything will be very superficial. You can reach me on the Facebook fan page in the description below. If that's of value. It's always who you know. So don't let age stop you just be aware.

Accumulating experiences, and after getting all the keys to this whole mechanism I would like to turn this into business. I'm on the way to getting my bachelor's degree this year plus I've had experience in teaching. Well, The only obstacle is that my passport is an utter fuck up as I'm from Pakistan. As you mentioned in this video, even if you're from Pakistan or any other African developing country you can get the job because of the demand in this ginormous market, however, they wouldn't pay you well they don't value such countries. Now my question would be: a) Is there any other ground strategy or any pragmatic technique to get a boost in your wage? b) I'm willing to teach mature students in high school and I can also consider Middle school as well, so can you get a job directly to these levels or being a novice you should start from scratch and teach kids to scale up the ladder, Is it necessary?

Hello I am from India and I don't have any teaching degree or any English certificates but my English is good do you still think that I could find a job relating to English in Vietnam? And if so what salary package can I expect. And I look like a Vietnamese and don't have an Indian accent if that matters at all..

[@rebornabroad]

If you are not white it's much much harder but if you legit have no accent you can find a job. Probably better off working with me or flying in and looking in person. I know Indian people who have gotten jobs. Indians tend to be looked at like Filipinos so the pay will be less than a native speaker. If you are highly qualified you can do better. No degree, non-white, non-native you will be abused and largely ignored. If you have a degree in anything you'll be ok. Pay can depend on who is interested in you. If they don't take you seriously 800 to 900 a month. If you are young decent looking and speak well 1000 to 1500. Looks and popularity are far more important than qualifications. For Indian people, you are not a top choice but you are not a bottom choice either for Africans or middle east it's way harder.

While he was still making more than local native Vietnamese the substantial difference in workload and pay between us was enough for him to pass on ESL.

It's what I call gate keeping. Most of these clowns 🤡 have degrees in things like history or gender studies, which has no impact on your ability to teach speaking. Being a. Native speakers are more than enough to teach speaking. I did it for 5 years, and a small child could handle it. It's far from rocket science, but hey, when you are a loser in your home country and suddenly you have women paying attention to you and a job that pays more than locals earn it goes to their heads. What can I say. They can cry if they'd like. Every year, it's supposed to be impossible, and every year, we still get people jobs without a degree, and the Vietnamese manage to get them a work permit. Also, it's kind of funny to imagine someone with a proper teaching qualification working in a public school in HCMC. Those people get top-tier jobs at international schools.
