Holistic English School in Saigon?

You must NOT be naive in Vietnam. Just teach whatever English opportunity is available to you. Hollistic does not exist here. Furthermore, English, Journalism, Chef, Climbing Wall??? Well, this is holistic, but you should narrow your field of professional interest - just focus on one thing at a time - keep it simple for yourself.

I had to find out what 'holistic schooling' was.

Sounds like Montessori on steroids. Should be able to charge even more than normal international schools.

Your Wall Climbing idea seems more feasible.

We now need an experienced native English teacher for 5 kids, 5-6 years old near Dam Sen park, Dist 11, Saigon.

Dear rwinn,


Although you have a certificate that allows you to teach "limited" English, you are not, truly, a "real" teacher and, therefore, you should really only adhere to the particular types of roles that you have qualified for in acquiring your particular certificate.

If you choose to teach "outside the box" within which you have more specific but limited training, you will need to accomplish this on your own, privately, because you are clearly not trained as a 4 or 5 year degree teacher is to teach more "holistic" or comprehensive English.

Fortunately, there are universally international systems in place throughout the world that prescribe to particular resources and approaches/strategies in using these resources in order to attain regulated goals. This is a positive because it offers more opportunity (not necessarily assuring) for instructional consistency among the thousands of individuals who receive only rudimentary classroom training. Unfortunately, the range and depth of English language development that is encouraged within Western schools and many private international schools does not characterize the format of English literacy competency that we often, more commonly, find in ESL settings.

You reveal yourself as being most enthusiastic about your current professional interests so that I would recommend for you to, perhaps, enroll into a formal teacher education training program either part time or full-time and then consider looking at school teaching jobs in your native country or, if still interested in teaching in a non-Western country, applying for (very competitive) positions at international schools.

Good luck with your quest.
