“As a qualified & experienced educator, I’ve always expected to work for schools that put students first & have a strong focus on teacher professional development. In 2012, after 10 years working for various schools in Europe, I was looking for a new opportunity in SE Asia, and ILA Vietnam was by far the most attractive school. ILA looked beyond just teaching English - their dynamic approach empowers young people with the skills they need to succeed in education & the workplace. In the years since then, those principles continue to motivate me to do my best for our students & teachers.”

"I decided to start a new career in education and teaching English at ILA 8 years ago. It has proven to be the best career decision I have ever made. The opportunities for professional development and career advancement within ILA are limitless. If anyone is interested in working with a dynamic and well-established organization that offers numerous opportunities in teaching and career development, I highly recommend ILA."

"I started with ILA as a teacher 7 years ago. The reason I first came to ILA was for its strong reputation towards academic training and development. I wanted to be somewhere that took professional development seriously. As ILA has grown, there have been many opportunities for me to develop myself and to progress in a career in academic management. ILA has been the perfect place to grow and develop as both a teacher and a manager!"

"Ho Chi Minh City is a dynamic place full of interesting people and things to do. You will never feel bored here - there is really something for everyone. My ILA center is a friendly center located in an interesting and very beautiful area of the city. There are many Korean and Japanese restaurants in the area and it is much quieter than a lot of the city."

"The center has a great mix of new and experienced teachers. I believe it has been a great place for me to develop over the years. Don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. I have found that the quickest way to improve my teaching was to ask other teachers for advice and for activity ideas."

"The teachers at ILA are really professional and friendly. They can always help you out if you are struggling and give you tips. Vietnam is a vibrant place with its unique character. You can always find things to do and see. It will always surprise you."

"Teachers and Teaching Assistants get along amazingly well. Everyone’s helpful, friendly, incredibly talented and hardworking. The Academic team is second to none. All these are the reasons why I’ve stayed on as long as I have."

"I started working for ILA at their first centre in Binh Duong (province just outside Ho Chi Minh City) back in 2015. Back then there was just 1 centre and 9 teachers. Now there are 3 centres and more than 5 times as many teachers. In my time I've had the opportunity to work at over 30 centres nationwide and it's incredible to see the amount of impact we have on so many students across Viet Nam and I'm proud to be a part of that!"

"The people are very friendly and give you as much privacy as you would like. Our teachers, teaching assistants, staff and everyone at the center work together harmoniously, we are helpful to each other and generally create a positive and fun environment."

"I'd already been teaching for 4 years when I joined ILA because of how much professional development was available to further my career as an educator. I didn't foresee joining the Technology department to "return to my roots" of my Computer Science degree, but I'm very glad I did. I work at HO with an amazing multicultural team to develop ILA's corporate applications such as the new HR platform, our student admissions software and much more!"
