A WORLD AUTHORITY IN ENGLISH TEACHING

Over the last 75 years, the British Council has established a reputation as a world authority in English language teaching. In designing and delivering our courses, we can draw on the experience and expertise of over 2,000 teachers and a network of almost 100 Teaching Centres in over 50 countries.

The British Council has been operating in Vietnam since 1993 and has Teaching Centres in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Together, these two centres provide courses that are carefully designed to meet the needs of almost 13,000 adult and young learner students every year.

EXPERIENCED AND QUALIFIED TEACHERS

At the British Council, our teachers are all highly qualified ELT professionals with a wealth of international teaching experience.

We expect our teachers to demonstrate a commitment to their own professional development and provide support for this through training, classroom observation and a performance management system that is designed to encourage learning and creativity.

Of course professionalism would be nothing without the passion and dedication that our teachers bring to their work teaching you. If you want to know more, you can meet our teachers in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Our courses are all carefully designed to meet the real-world needs of our students and use the latest teaching and learning resources.
