Latest Testimonials - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
I would like to thank you all for my experience during the TESOL Vietnam program. The course gave me the experience to work in public schools and private schools. It also gave me a wide range of experience in teaching several age groups. I am now working for Colette public school, Duc Tri public school (Cleverlearn FTDP) and Nguyen Du public school through Apollo's partnership program. Without the TESOL qualification I would feel lost! You all contributed greatly to my learning and enjoyment during my first month in Vietnam. November 2009 - Rosie McTigue
