Volunteering here was a great experience! Rosie and her family treated me like a family member. The hours of work aren't a lot, so I could explore the city in the free time. I absolutely recommend it if you like working with children. The teachers at school were very helpful and kids were lovely. I also got to meet many wonderful people and will remember the experience for a long time! :)

First of all, special thanks to Rozy and her family, and Ms. Thu. Thanks to them, I had an amazing time in Vietnam🥰 I learned a lot about Vietnamese culture, taught English to many lovely children, and improved my own English too. The schedule was very comfortable (only 3–4 hours a day), with plenty of time to rest and explore Hanoi. Rozy is a great cook and I will miss her food 😊 Her family is very kind and welcoming. Thank you for making my first Worldpackers experience so positive and memorable! If you are thinking about doing another volunteer trip, this is a really great opportunity😇

My experience was truly outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the host provided a warm and professional welcome, fostering a supportive environment. The responsibilities were straightforward and manageable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent collaborating with the host.Educating the younger generation—the future of our world—is an immensely rewarding and enriching endeavor. Furthermore, the culinary experience was exceptional; the host is a talented cook who prepares fantastic meals. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone.

Rozy is very sweet and welcoming, kids are adorable, about 4hrs help a day so plenty of time to explore Hanoi. But, living in the house with Rozy's family was quite awkward for me (and a bit unclean), the kids are very small and many schools so it’s hard to form a real connection and there isn’t much room for initiative. Also it is a cultural difference I wish I was prepared for- teachers beat the kids in Vietnam… overall I enjoyed the work, the city and my time with the other volunteers. Thank you

It was a different experience of what I expected, but it was ok to get to know a bit more about the vietnamese culture. We arrived before tet holiday, so the did only a few hours of the lessons. I would suggest to ask for a videocall and clear all the questions, or even visit Rosy if you are already in Hanoi. We stayed in the house of Rosy's brother so we couldn't have a lot of interaction with her and the family. I was sick and she tried to help me with the food. I'm very grateful for that!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
As your visit took place right before Tet holiday, lesson hours were naturally reduced. We understand this may have differed from expectations.
As you requested a private room as a couple, housing was arranged at our brother’s home for comfort and privacy.
We’re glad we could support you when you were unwell. Volunteer well-being is very important to us.
Thank you again for your time and contribution

Rozy (the host) was nice and warm in welcoming us. I went to several schools and around 1h each, and sometimes one time in the morning and another time in the afternoon. There are very little kids in this clases and you give the same lesson (with varieties depending on the age) to them, and sometimes this could feel repetitive so i try to change a little bit the games and songs. Be aware of the culture differences in the education, the house rules and food. I believe Rozy is doing something good to the society so helping kids felt super good. And a big plus is to connect with other volunteers

Plenty of free time to explore I worked about 20-25hrs a week. Area is very local but not rural so you can walk to shops or grocery store about 5min walk away.

I had an amazing stay. Rosie and her family are very nice, and you feel right at home. If you want to enjoy Hanoï, have fun and spend times with kids, just go there! (The kids are really young, kindergarten. You can also teach to 10-11 years old, but mostly to 2-5 years old).
