Big Hero community language center

Be a part of our project!! We do support volunteers with 3-month business visas if you expect to stay in the country in the long -term ( currently the maximum time for a tourist visa is only 1 month)

You will not only have a chance to meaningfully contribute to improving local lives but also meet many friendly people, truly explore Vietnamese culture, and enjoy traditional food. Some of your students might even take you around the city in a way that you could only experience with the locals. Don't be a tourist. Be a traveler. Come and experience a place off the beaten track. This life does not disappoint.

We are 30 minutes from the local beach and 1.5 hours from Cat Ba island which is the most beautiful island in the North of Vietnam

Volunteers have 2 days off ( Sunday and Mondy) but lessons usually take place in Tuesday evening so you can sorta have 3 days to travel around with volunteers which can be a fantastic experience

Working hours are usually from 6 pm to 9 pm so you will have a lot of free time to discover the local area. We are highly sporty people who enjoy going to the gym, and playing badminton, ping-pong, and football, so if you love playing sports, this is an ideal place for you <3

Our support
- Vietnamese lesson
- Cooking lesson
- Motorbikes or scooters are available for use to get around at no charge

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

I truly had such a great time connecting with other volunteers and the Vietnamese people. I enjoyed the English classes and learning more about the Vietnamese culture.
There were scooters provided for us which was great to explore the city. Aswell lunch and dinner was cooked for us, which was nice, but we often went out for food after classes again.
The only thing I had to get used to was the accommodation conditions: 10 of us slept in a quite small room, so we basically had not much space to leave our bags. Aswell the bathroom wasn’t t the cleanest (there was mold).
But it was so cool anyw.

The volunteering and speaking to the students was really enjoyable, they are so eager to learn! I really enjoyed this. The other volunteers and staff living in the apartment were amazing and I loved spending time with them. However I never formally met the host/owner, which I think is necessary for volunteers to understand the project. The facilities were awful, complete lack of care for the apartment, homestay and the building where the children learn. Food left out all day, often with flies and mould in the room which also has a lack of airflow and cramped. Shower flooded daily.

My experience at Big Hero was very positive. Classes were very enjoyable and the conditions of the volunteering were exactly as we agreed beforehand. I could meet other volunteers from different countries and backgrounds and also had the chance to know the local culture and places thanks to the students.

At a dinner a teacher made an anti Trans joke at my expense, then told me to not be so sensitive when I was unhappy about being misgendered as a joke. The same teacher tried to pimp me out to a male teacher then tried to help a younger teacher, who spoke terrible English and dressed for the club make me her sugar daddy. Then made a revenge post that they admited was out of revenge. Also the place is gross with flies, cockroaches and rats in the kitchen. The bathroom is a lake.
