I was NOT expecting much from this program (given previous reviews about lack of organization, etc.) however, I really enjoyed the students & teaching aspect of the program (although it was VERY unorganized) and there is sometimes an assistant to help. Classes are not consistent either-different groups every day. Difficult to build relationship with kids. The major downside to this program is its management. I think accommodation was decent but food wasn't good. Also schedule issues (last minute classes and a general lack of respect). WE WEREN"T ALLOWED TO STAY OUT LATE EVEN ON WEEKENDS.

Thank you for your time here. You are a good volunteer we have. It's better if you should let us know about that when you were staying here. Hope you can go back and stay with us again soon. Take care!

My experience here was good and bad. I love the family and really felt like a part of the house and its occupants. Lunch and Dinner with the family was tasty and a great time to talk about the area. When it comes to teaching, there is no training so learn as you go. Because you are thrown in it can be stressful and overwhelming so be prepared for that. There is not a whole lot of organization so you never know how things will go. The schedule times/locations are 85% correct and the materials/class topics are about 70% correct. Living area good, no heater. It is clean. Bus to town is easy.

My experience with the community in Hanoi and with Oanh in Halong Bay was great. We spent 5 days at the community house where we had the real Vietnamese experience. Lovely family, house, super yummy food... the lessons were ok, it needs a little bit more organisation, but they are just starting, so I'm sure it will be improved. Anyway if you want a challenge teaching and a real experience, this is for you! Then we spent 10 days in Halong Bay with Oanh at her academy. Living the real teacher experience. It was also awesome! I totally recommend both. Thanks a lot for all your kindness Dung and Oanh!

I would definitely recommend staying with the host. You will feel totally comfortable being there, they are a very kind family, and you will laugh a lot with them. You will also meet many people from different parts of the world, and you will share much living at home. Teaching children will be something that will keep you active and you will laugh a lot with them. You will do it right away with the area and you will have time to know different places.

I was curious to live with a local family, so I decided to apply for Mr. Dungs Project. You'll live together with his family and other volunteers. Everybody is fun and friendly here. I enjoy going to the local markets, discovering a new culture. At the begining, teaching the Kids was very challenging, but you'll get assistance, so don't worry :P On your free days, you can visit the surrounding cities with other volunteers, or experience the nightlife of Hanoi. I planned to stay for two weeks, but I decided to stay for 2-3 weeks more. Give it a try, ist fun!

We have to admit: at the beginning it was a little confusing (mostly because it was our first experience in something like this) as we didn't understand exactly how things were going to happen and when you arrive to the house everything is very natural and relaxed. HOWEVER, as soon as you ask for help, everyone will give you a hand and Mr. Dung was amazing to us when we needed him! You will have a confortable place to sleep, great food and unforgetable friends. This is an INCREDIBLE experience and for sure it was a big highlight in our one-year-travel. We just regret.. Not staying longer!!

The month I spent with Mr. Dung, his family and the other volunteers I'd propably be one of the best memories I'll get from my trip. They made me feel like home. We had lots of fun and with the kids too. The classes are diverse but you'll have all the resources you'll need. These kids love to meet foreigners and learn from you, so be ready to socialize. If you volunteer in Yepvin you learn as much as you teach. Great experience. I'm going to miss you all!!!

If you're thinking of having a meaningful and enjoyable experience, then just pack your bags and go! Staying with Mr. Dung is definitely worth it. His family was so kind, the accomodations were great, and the food was delicious! On top of that, the kids we taught were the sweetest. <3

I spent only 10 days there and I am already planning to go back! I was teaching English to kids - OMG I had a crush with all of them! They're so adorable. the family is amazing and so helpful. I actually got lost in the city during my day off and Mr Dung came to pick me up late in the night... Thanks again haha I definitely felt like at home and I had lots of fun with the hosts and the other volunteers. Greatest experience ever! xxx
