Teach English in Vietnam in exchange for hospitality at the Remi English School
Mission
We want to be an organization which creates the opportunities for students to have more chances to talk to foreigners whilst also providing travellers with a great, safe, fun, local place to stay whilst they discover Ho Chi Minh.
Our goal is to have the most benefits for both Volunteers and Locals, so we are looking for people who want to share their culture and gain teaching experience.
This is a great first step for you to become an official English teacher at an international school and for travellers who want to make friends from all over the world and have a group of people as close as a family in Viet Nam.
General info
We are a social business situated in Ho Chi Minh city which welcomes and hosts a great number of English speaking volunteers from all over the world. During the past three and a half years, over 300 volunteers have offered us their help to significantly improve our projects so they are more successful.
We now have some English classes for both city students and ethnic students with the hope that our fun, easy classes help change their lives through education. We also design our classes to be a place to make new friends through exchanging language and culture ( for both Vietnamese and foreigners).

Local culture
We are located in the Center of Ho Chi Minh, in a quiet area, with no traffic, a nice neighbourhood, and a nice view. Our place is 6 Km far from the airport, 4 Km far to the Bui Vien Street (The street where backpackers hang out). The price nearby is a local price, so itโs cheaper than the main tourist areas.
We are also nearby to one of the biggest parks in Ho Chi Minh, and there are a nice swimming pool and gyms nearby too. Coffee shops, local markets and supermarkets (Big C is the main one and is only an 8-minute walk!) are close as well.
How to get to your site
We pay volunteers Taxi fee from the airport to my house. Just put our address and take the taxi
