Amy House is a family-run homestay in Ninh Binh, Vietnam, creating opportunities for local children aged 6–15 to practise English and connect with the world.

As a volunteer, you will join our friendly team and help children practise English through conversations, games, storytelling, role-plays, and cultural exchange activities.
This is a cultural exchange experience rather than a professional teaching position. No formal teaching qualifications or previous teaching experience are required. Our local teachers will guide and support you throughout your stay.

In return, we offer free accommodation and the opportunity to experience Vietnamese family life, local culture, and the beautiful surroundings of Ninh Binh.
