My experience at VCV (whilst short) was amazing - it was a unique and special way to meet other travellers, and connect with local Vietnamese people such as the people working at VCV or the students. Staying outside the centre of Hanoi was a great way to balance sightseeing with the ability to become immersed in Vietnamese culture and way of life, and I appreciate how welcoming and friendly everyone was at VCV! I wish I could have stayed longer :)

I had such an amazing time at VCV! The hosts are really nice and welcoming. The apartment is shared so it is easy to make friends and it really starts to feel like family. I have met some amazing people who I'm still in contact with months later! The schedule is usually fixed and will be send to you the weekend in advance, usually you will have around 1-2 classes per day which gives you enough time to explore the city. Even after I had to leave earlier they were still very welcoming and open for me to join the weekend activities. I would definitely recommend volunteering here!

In VCV I found myself teaching again, in ways I've never imagined. I taught orphaned children in a Buddhist temple, creating the most creative dynamics I could think of . I also taught English to young locals (some of them became friends). I experienced Tết Holiday accompanied by local families, I learned to cook typical food, we visited remote villages at festivals, I rode motorcycles in incredible landscapes, and had time to play badminton and explore around. Always food, love, community and karaoke. It was of the most authentic travel experiences I've ever had. Cảm ơn VCV! I'll miss u guys!

I had such a wonderful time volunteering with VCV! This is such a great opportunity to experience teaching and learn about Vietnam. VCV is very organized and was a very supportive host throughout my time volunteering. I came into it without any experience, but now I feel much more confident in my teaching. The accommodation and food is so wonderful and Hanoi is exciting to explore. I have so many amazing memories from my time with VCV and I would go back any time.

I would absolutely recommend VCV for anybody who wants experience teaching English! I came with no previous English teaching experience, and I learned so much through volunteering here. The meals (lunch and dinner) are home cooked, delicious, and filling. I went with VCV on two different weekend trips out into the provinces where I saw many beautiful parts of Vietnam. For my classes, I taught B1 English to high schoolers twice a week, B2 online classes to mixed age twice a week, and basic english at an orphanage twice a week. Lesson plans are provided for the classes.

First I would like to thank Ms Hay and the Vietnamese staff for their support during my entire stay. VCV is my second home , I really loved every moment spent with everybody. The students are just so nice, always willing to learn, to share ideas and to participate to the several outings organized by VCV. The accommodation is great : the rooms are cozy and the meals prepared by the staff is delicious. The class schedules are made carefully so that each volunteer has the same amount of working hours. We always have a day off during the week. I already miss everyone.

Mi experiencia tuvo aspectos tanto positivos como desafiantes. Los estudiantes fueron maravillosos para la escuela, y el hospedaje fue cómodo. Sin embargo, sí experimenté problemas de comunicación con la dirección. En ocasiones, el tono parecía abrupto y emocionalmente reactivo, especialmente ante cambios de horario inevitables, como los requisitos de visa. Algunos mensajes parecieron poco profesionales y me hicieron sentir incómodo. La enseñanza fue significativa, pero los futuros voluntarios deben tener en cuenta que el estilo de liderazgo puede ser estricto e inflexible.

Estábamos decepcionados por el espíritu de voluntariado de la Sra. Hanna y la falta de cooperación. Ella se quejó de que ajustáramos su horario universitario, aunque estos ajustes eran necesarios para garantizar la equidad entre ella y Olivia (12 clases por semana cada una). También nos preocupaba su irresponsabilidad y su falta de profesionalismo. En su último día de enseñanza, envió un mensaje contundente a las 10:30 y “quería” informarnos de que no podría enseñar debido a un viaje para renovar el visado. Esto nos dejó sin tiempo para avisar a los estudiantes

VCV is the closest one can get to a second family. The staff was beyond welcoming and the willingness of students made the teaching experience a joy. It is a truly immersive experience as you share the dorm with Vietnamese people and easily befriend your students. You will have enough time to explore the city and make day trips. I stayed one month, but wish I stayed longer as I made the greatest memories in Vietnam here. I would love to come back to greet everyone again.

I've had an amazing month with VCV! Living with other volunteers was such a joy, and I've made some incredible friends here. The accommodation was comfortable, and the weekly schedule of cultural activities added so much to the experience. The hosts were always kind, and helpful, and went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. The students were so eager to learn and participate, which made every class enjoyable and fulfilling. This made it one of my best volunteer experiences yet! I already regret leaving so soon and would absolutely love to come back!
