hi y'all,

i'm really interested in teaching in saigon, vietnam but i have a few concerns. first of all, i have a degree (bachelor international relations) and ive taught english before as a private tutor, but i dont have an english teaching certificate. also, i only have 6 months in which i can stay in vietnam (june-december). are these major obstacles? obviously i can pick up a teaching certificate no problem but is it possible to pick up some short term work without one? basically i just need enough hours to cover accomodation, food and a moto and im fine, its more about the experience of living in saigon.

thanks for any advice!

It is possible to circumvent the ESL Teaching Certificate issue BUT problematic these days and Visa renewals are going to be a huge issue as well. But if you can get a 6 month Visa and don't do more than 3 month contracts - you should be able to skate right on through, no problem...

Whatever you decide, good luck!
