Most of the ESL jobs in Vietnam are in the higher levels of studies, mainly in the universities. English language is very popular at the university level and teachers are usually recruited to teach this section of students. The native English speakers are mostly preferred for the English teaching positions in Vietnam. Apart from teaching jobs many teachers go for private tuition in Vietnam. This is more or less hassle free as no proper work permit is required for this purpose. The teachers can also take up part time conversational classes in various language schools mostly located in the cities. Many adults in Vietnam take evening classes especially on weekends or after work. Even for language schools and private tutoring the Native English teachers are very much in demand.
