Stephan Bujinsters Head English Teacher (UK) BSA is one of the nicest schools I have ever worked in. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming, and have made me feel as though I am part of the family from day one. I have been teaching at the school for nearly three months now, and it feels as if I have been here for three years. In a good way, of course. The children are great fun, friendly, hardworking and never fail to make me smile. As a primary school teacher in England, I taught one age group for a year. Here, it is great teaching the variety of ages every day and to see how far the children progress with their learning and understanding of English throughout the year groups. I have already made so many great memories, and I look forward to the rest of my time here. I couldn't ask for a better school to be a part of! Lizzie Renouf English Teacher (UK) I've been teaching here for nearly 4 years. I am proud that this is the cleanest and most modern school in central Vietnam. The staff here are hardworking, professional and everyone loves children. BSA's children are very active, hardworking and fun. Teaching and talking to them everyday make me happier. Seeing their progress in English is the greatest thing to me. I have learnt a lot not only from my colleagues but also from my children. Huyen Rose Nguyen English teacher (Vietnam) 3 Interested?
