Students looking for an English tutor in Vietnam
I need an English tutor
Tell us the level, the goal and roughly when you are free. The request goes up without your name or contact details on it, and tutors reply through us, so you are not publishing your email to the open web.
I teach English
List yourself and answer requests as they come in. Listing is free while the board is being built, and you decide what of your profile is public.
This side of the board is new, so there is nothing to show yet in Vietnam. Everything here is posted by real people who asked to be listed: we do not copy tutor profiles from other sites, so it starts empty rather than starting fake.
How tuition requests work in Vietnam
- A student or parent posts what they need. Level, goal, whether they want lessons online or in person, and roughly what they can pay.
- We publish it anonymously. The listing shows the level, the area and the kind of lessons wanted. It does not show a name, an email, a phone number or an address, and a request from a parent about a child says so without identifying the child.
- Tutors reply through the board. The reply reaches the person who posted; their address is never handed out, and they choose whether to answer.
What we will not do
We do not copy tutor profiles or student enquiries from other sites. Every person listed here asked to be. That means this side of the board fills up more slowly than one built from scraped profiles, and it means nobody finds themselves advertised here without having agreed to it.
Paying a tutor
Rates vary far too much by country, level and whether lessons are online to quote a figure honestly, and we would rather say so than invent a range. Agree the rate, the cancellation terms and how you will pay before the first lesson, and be wary of anyone asking for a large block of lessons up front.

Vietnam has one of the fastest-growing English tuition markets in Asia, and it is unusually young. A very large share of demand is for children and teenagers, driven by parents who treat English as a direct investment in their child’s future, and by a school system in which English is examined and taken seriously.
The organised end of the market is the language centre, concentrated in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and increasingly in Da Nang, Can Tho and Hai Phong. Private tuition grows around it: one-to-one work for children whose parents want faster progress than a group class gives, and IELTS preparation, which is the dominant adult and late-teenage goal because it is used for university admission, for scholarships and for emigration.
Timing is shaped by the school year, which runs roughly from August to late May, and by Tet, when the country largely stops for a week or more and lessons pause with it. Evenings and weekends carry most of the tuition, because children are in school during the day and adults are at work.
Online tuition has grown quickly and is now routine, which has opened the market to tutors who are not in the country. It also means a local tutor is competing on price with tutors elsewhere, so what a tutor here is usually selling in person is reliability, a relationship with the family, and knowing exactly what the exam wants.

Common questions
Why is IELTS mentioned in almost every request?
Because it is the gatekeeper for the things people want: university places abroad, scholarships, some domestic university requirements, and emigration. Students usually arrive with a target band and a deadline, which makes the tutoring very concrete. Knowing the band descriptors for writing and speaking, and being able to explain honestly why an answer is a 6 and not a 7, is the core skill.
What ages do tutors mostly work with?
Children and teenagers make up the bulk of it, with a significant adult segment doing IELTS or work-related English. Teaching young learners well is a distinct skill and it is where most of the demand is, so a tutor who can genuinely hold a class of nine-year-olds is in a much stronger position than one who can only do adult conversation.
When should a tutor expect demand to drop?
Around Tet, when the country effectively pauses, and in the summer gap in the school year, although summer is partly offset by intensive courses. Planning for those two interruptions, rather than being surprised by them, is the difference between a steady year and a lumpy one.
