Big Hero community language center

Teach English in Hai Phong, Vietnam
About Our Project

We are an educational social enterprise based in Hai Phong, Vietnam, and we are currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our team.

We strongly believe that education is the key to human progress. It enables individuals and communities to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to improve their quality of life. However, many disadvantaged young people still have limited access to quality education.

Our mission is to provide affordable or free English communication classes for disadvantaged and middle-class students, helping them develop language skills and create better opportunities for their future.

About Hai Phong

Hai Phong is the third-largest city in Vietnam and one of the country’s most important tourism destinations. It is located approximately 100 km from Hanoi.

Our house is situated in a peaceful neighborhood:

45 minutes from Do Son Beach
Around 2 hours from Cat Ba Island, known as the “Pearl Island” of Halong Bay and one of Vietnam’s most beautiful natural destinations

Volunteers will also have opportunities to join weekend trips and cultural activities, such as visits to Ba Vang Pagoda and Lung Xanh Waterfall.

What We Do

We organize English communication classes for local students. We believe that the ability to communicate in English can make a significant difference in students’ lives by helping them access better educational and career opportunities.

Our classes are designed to create a welcoming, exciting, and interactive learning environment where students can:

Improve their communication skills
Meet international volunteers
Learn about different cultures
Build confidence and broaden their horizons

At the same time, volunteers can experience authentic Vietnamese culture and become part of the local community.

Who We Help

As a social enterprise, we focus on supporting disadvantaged and low-income students. We are also passionate about collaborating with charities and local social projects.

Current Projects
Working with local volunteer groups
Teaching English to local students
Supporting community and charity activities
How You Can Help

We are looking for volunteers to join our team and help teach English, as well as support our community projects.

You do not need to be a qualified teacher. The most important qualities are enthusiasm, communication skills, and a genuine desire to help others.

We have welcomed volunteers from many different backgrounds, and everyone brings valuable experiences and skills to the classroom.

Main Skills Required
Ability to communicate fluently in English
Organizational skills
Positive attitude
Passion for helping others

Beyond teaching English, we also warmly welcome volunteers who would like to share other skills, hobbies, or experiences with the community.

For example, if you are:

A bartender
A sports coach or fitness enthusiast
A painter or artist
A chef
A musician
Or simply someone with a unique skill or passion

We would love to hear your ideas and create meaningful activities together.

For us, English is not only a language to teach, but also a bridge that connects people, cultures, experiences, and creativity.

Food and Living Support
From Monday to Friday, volunteers will receive a food allowance of 70,000 VND per day for meals (35,000 VND per meal, two meals per day)

Although we previously cooked meals for volunteers, we are currently unable to continue this service because our main chef is pregnant.

At Big Hero, you are treated as part of a family. After classes, volunteers often hang out and have fun with local staff and students at Bia Hoi
