I really loved Riverside Education Center. Every child here has their own unique personality, and it was such a joy spending time with them! The hosts were also incredibly kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this place.

I had the most amazing time here! I initially planned to only stay one week and extended to almost three months! Having a shared apartment was such a safe comfortable environment. The work itself was more fun than it was work! The students are amazing and our host Mrs. Hien was so accommodating. She introduced me to pickleball, workout classes, and bike routes. We had so much fun together she was kind enough to invite me on a family trip up to the north of Vietnam! I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place! Do yourself a favor and volunteer here trust me!

It was a pleasure doing my first volunteering with Ms. Hien and her incredible team at Riverside! Everyone is welcoming and kind, you truly feel at home from the start :) I learned loads and loved being included in many activities that created deep, meaningful shared moments, which I appreciated the most ❤️ The teaching is well prepared, and the kids learn through games, exercises, reading, and even chess! A special mention to all the amazing ladies, we shared such beautiful moments over hot pot or coffee. Overall, an amazing experience that I highly recommend, even just for a visit!

I had a great time at the education center. Hien and her husband are very kind and supportive and give you a good insight into vietnamese local life. The students and children are friendly and happy to learn english. The work is simple and doesn't really feel like work, as it's mainly about talking and connecting with them. They provide an apartment next to the center, which is very convenient. The vin apartment complex has everything you need, and the bus station is close by. Places like the Old quarter are easy to reach. I'm grateful for this experience and can definitely recommend it!
