“As a qualified & experienced educator, I’ve always expected to work for schools that put students first & have a strong focus on teacher professional development. In 2012, after 10 years working for various schools in Europe, I was looking for a new opportunity in SE Asia, and ILA Vietnam was by far the most attractive school. ILA looked beyond just teaching English - their dynamic approach empowers young people with the skills they need to succeed in education & the workplace. In the years since then, those principles continue to motivate me to do my best for our students & teachers.”

"I decided to start a new career in education and teaching English at ILA 8 years ago. It has proven to be the best career decision I have ever made. The opportunities for professional development and career advancement within ILA are limitless. If anyone is interested in working with a dynamic and well-established organization that offers numerous opportunities in teaching and career development, I highly recommend ILA."

"I started with ILA as a teacher 7 years ago. The reason I first came to ILA was for its strong reputation towards academic training and development. I wanted to be somewhere that took professional development seriously. As ILA has grown, there have been many opportunities for me to develop myself and to progress in a career in academic management. ILA has been the perfect place to grow and develop as both a teacher and a manager!"

"Ho Chi Minh City is a dynamic place full of interesting people and things to do. You will never feel bored here - there is really something for everyone. My ILA center is a friendly center located in an interesting and very beautiful area of the city. There are many Korean and Japanese restaurants in the area and it is much quieter than a lot of the city."

"The center has a great mix of new and experienced teachers. I believe it has been a great place for me to develop over the years. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. I have found that the quickest way to improve my teaching was to ask other teachers for advice and for activity ideas."

"The teachers at ILA are really professional and friendly. They can always help you out if you are struggling and give you tips. Vietnam is a vibrant place with its unique character. You can always find things to do and see. It will always surprise you."

"Teachers and Teaching Assistants get along amazingly well. Everyone’s helpful, friendly, incredibly talented and hardworking. The Academic team is second to none. All these are the reasons why I’ve stayed on as long as I have."

"I am fortunate enough to work with a staff of around 30 teachers, all of whom are driven, passionate, and extremely experienced. A mixed-pot of personalities and nationalities... Life will never be boring here!"

"The people are very friendly and give you as much privacy as you would like. Our teachers, teaching assistants, staff and everyone at the center work together harmoniously, we are helpful to each other and generally create a positive and fun environment."

"ILA is full of supportive and energetic people. There is always someone you can ask for help about work or life in Vietnam. Both teachers and teaching assistants here are proactive with their teaching and want to give their students the best experiences. Vietnam is a great place for long-term teaching and living."
