It's interesting and unmistakably noticeable 😂😂❤🎉😂❤😊

Something similar happened to me in China at a language school. But, the way I got out of it and turned the tides to my benefit is super crazy and messed up. But, I turned the situation around and made it work out GREAT for me!! How did I get out of it?? Well, the thing is I'm black and many of the parents and students preferred the white teachers. They didn't say it, but when I looked into my white collegues/friends classrooms, their classrooms were full vs. my class which had only a few students. Me and my friends went out to dinner and they told me these things and so did some Chinese friends. As messed up as it was, I didn't complain. Why? Because, even though I was teaching less classes, the school still paid me a BUNCH of money because it was in the contract LOL 🤣. So, while my white colleagues were being overworked and had to teach 30, 40, or even 50 hours compared to my 20 hours, I was out exploring, having tons of fun, enjoying food and going everywhere EVERYDAY with the MONEY to do it ALL!! I kept going out of town and everything! So, that's how I got out of my similar situation. Yes, teaching in Asia in general could be messed up for ANYBODY whether black or white if one is at the wrong type of school. As mentioned above, my white friends got screwed but just in a different way from me. We finally ALL left that school around the same time to where they didn't have any foreign teachers for a LONG time! Granted: The rest of China was AWESOME!!! I had a ton of fun in China and met a lot of great people outside of the school. The ONLY negative experiences I had was working at the school. The rest of China was dream-like!

Well, yeah. If you want something done then do it yourself. If you need an apartment look for it yourself, because for many younger Vietnamese your apartment is actually can be considered decent or even good. (if that is the apartment shown in the video). Why would she pay for your room? The agent's job is to find you a teaching position.

The sad thing is that so many people get excited about going to Asia and securing a job before leaving their home country, but the people who've they possibly signed a contract with have little to no business ethics, or really any sense of ethics for that matter. Recruiting agencies are just headhunters who need to fil a position to make a profit, so they just need someone who cuts the mustard and fulfills some very basic requirements. You probably think that you can maybe check to see something like Google reviews and ratings related to some company when actually those are usually faked by many companies if you check and see how the accounts that wrote the review are relatively new and/or there are many reviews within a short period of time, especially from accounts that don't review anything else. *DO NOT SIGN UP WITH ANY OF THEM!!!!

I had bad working experiences in Indonesia many years ago. My Indonesian bosses set a very high expectation and I felt it was very stressful. The students in the kindergarten school where I worked were very unruly. Even responsibilities that a teacher should not do like babysitting was also expected of me since my pupils were very young like younger than 3 years old. My Indonesian colleagues envied me a lot because they heard from my boss that I was paid with a very high salary while theirs are just low ones. I even got typhoid fever there and I didn't receive any sympathy from my evil Indonesian bosses. They blamed me for getting Typhoid Fever. I paid for my hospital bills and the most tragic part was they asked me to pay a big amount of money for my exit visa as at that time I had to go back to the Philippines since my work contract was about to end. So, from that experience I don't anymore work under a boss or work abroad. If ever I have to live abroad again, I want to live as a freelance worker because here in my home country, I have been working as a freelancer successfully and comfortably. Working under a boss is hell!

Why are you using an agent to get you a job and apartment? She already paid for an apartment and you expect her to pay for a hotel room too? I don't understand what the scam is? You had to pay for lunch and transport? Normal You quit, presumably breaking contract, and expected to still get paid? Trying to sell you a motorbike? Also normal.

Super

Briefly taught in Nanjing, China, did English Camps in the summer in Slovakia. Did about 15 summers but only two weeks for each summer. 😊

I was in Vietnam last year teaching English and had the best experience of my life! I will return soon! But, I am sure there are other difficult situations.

I believe AVSE tesol with Peter is one of the best agents to use.

Олрайт

I agree with you, terrible place

Very good 👍

Wow. The apartment actually had a sit down toilet! I imagine there was hot water for the shower, too. What is this guy complaining about? And he expected compensation for transportation and provided food! What planet is he living on?! Not being paid when you quit is normal and to be expected here. He should never try to live in Africa! He would spend all his time making videos like this. He would be overwhelmed by terrible awful experiences like this - poor guy. Wake up to the reality of life outside the bubble of Western civilization where people have had to scratch and scape for everything their whole lives. Extreme poverty as well as riches - corrupts.

*Being Asian from other countries or a non-native speaker, these problems are common in South Asia. Actually, even as a native speaker, I had bad experiences in Thailand.*

This is definitely a very common experience. Even some bigger companies are doing this now... based on my own experience

great job !!! they had fun

I think "Jenny" is an alias to hide her identity.

I love how you include lots of movement in your lessons! :)

Thanks 😊 🙏

Very good 👍 👏

Maybe it's a scam, but accusing two people of something without much proof, at least in this video, seems premature. The only apparent issue is that you didn't like the apartment they offered you. If you're going to accuse them of something, you should provide several pictures of the apartment and any correspondence where they specified what was promised. Did they guarantee a five-star apartment before you went there? Do you have emails detailing their commitments? If they simply said they would provide you with an apartment, then they haven't necessarily breached the contract. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding.

Salaries are low? Which country has higher salaries? In my experience Vietnam offers some of the highest salaries for ESL "teachers".

What did you expect? You are essentially dealing with Chinese. They treat each other like animals so they aren't going to treat you any different.

Vietnamese are really something else when it has to do with teaching job

Hello ma'am

*Buyer beware* . Go find your own place to live (instead of a hotel), you are grown-up aren't you? And why do you expect free food? . . . Granted, I understand she did or tried to cheat you out of pay; you chose her as the agent. The salary for foreign teachers in Vietnam is garbage anyway, so I have no idea why you even chose this country. You could have made substantially more money teaching in a different Asian country with comparably low living expenses.

When I came to Vietnam to teach, I decided not to contact any agencies but go straight door to door, from one English center to another. And for good, as I see from this video

Is that Jenny Nguyen that is using 2 Zalo groups for finding jobs?

Was

The only horrifying aspect of this story is the sense of entitlement. Like which part was the actual scam here other than she said she was working on getting a better apartment? You tried to scam her by expecting her to pay for the hotel room you wanted. Then you say you pay for your own transport and food? That's how life operates in every country. Then there's the hide to mention a language barrier? Like what the actual fuck? You want to teach English in a foreign fucking country and then suggest English speakers may struggle to communicate with locals? How about learning some fucking Vietnamese to communicate with locals? And my God, the thought of having to adjust to different customs in a foreign country....

That's actually the problem here in Vietnam, too many scammers, compared to Thailand. Too bad I am just realizing that now that I am already here in Vietnam with my kids, but really considering going back to Thailand.

As a Vietnamese and used to work there I can sympathize with you, especially when you land in the North. Fraud often occurs. And there are a large number of college graduates who have difficulty finding a job. And about the salary, I surely can't expect it to be good. You had better land in the South first where people at that are more friendly and you should try to hear "special thing" about Vietnam before you jump directly in that chaotic society. I am a Vietnamese person with little life experience and I am also really shocked at some of the bad points of a large number of Vietnamese people.

i am sorry to the vietnamese people, truly i am but your country is a hole.

Like you I'm sick and tired of all the scams and discrimination foreigners face in Vietnam. Thats why I refuse to work for any English center, public school etc. These places only care about money. They dont you or the students. I rather go at it myself. At least if I don't make it it would be because of me and I have no one to blame. I feel sad when I meet students from English centers. They don't know what they don't know.

I'm sorry to hear about your terrible experience teaching English in Vietnam. Unfortunately, stories like yours are all too common. As someone who has spent time in Vietnam, I want to warn viewers that the country is full of scams targeting tourists and locals alike - English teaching is no exception. Dishonest agents like Jenny take advantage of the high demand for native English teachers without concern for the teachers' well-being. Beyond just English teachers, Vietnam has a widespread problem with scamming tourists as well. From exorbitant taxi fees, to overcharging restaurants, noise, pollution, corruption, outright theft, travelers constantly need to be on high alert. Foreigners who are economic refugees with low/no self-respect live in Vietnam. Decent and ethical foreigners don't tend to visit Vietnam more than once due to all these troubles. Yet Vietnam eagerly hires ANY person as an English teacher as long as they are white / Caucasian, even if the teacher can barely speak comprehensible English or if English isn't their native language. The priority is having token white faces, not actual quality English instruction. It's a corrupt country for retards. So I agree with your warning - Vietnam can be a very challenging place for foreign English teachers or tourists. Do your research, talk to foreigners who have been there, and take all recruiting offers with a major grain of salt. I cannot in good faith recommend Vietnam as an ESL teaching destination or a tourism destination (unless you're flat broke and have no self-respect) given the risky realities on the ground there.

Thank you for sharing this I just blocked her on my fb...she is a hard scammer and her bf is North African. He is desperate to be here so he is doing everything he can to support his gf Jenny! Avoid Jenny at all costs!

No offense however that was your stupidity in getting scam by the wrong person and place ! Alot of scam artist in Hanoi like her and her partner in crime BONNY AND CLYDE 🤣 Why didn't you teach in HCM instead ?

Do you any recommendations for an authentic agent. Am actually an experienced teacher currently in Vietnam and looking for a teaching job.

I really don't trust in Arabic or Muslims. Is her boyfriend from Morocco? Those people usually come to scam other foreigners.

Very good work

International schools are a safe bet across Asia. For teaching English, South Korea seems to be the best.

What name of this game?

That dog meat looked great

Are they know letters?

You are the best teacher ❤

How do you protect your Bachelors degree and other important paper documents from being damaged while backpacking around the world teaching English?

I too feel this aswell, I’ve been lucky to be in a decent language centre however they are very dishonest, ignore your issues and not pay you on time. I maybe lucky but I think Vietnam has been a disappointing experience by lack of care and dishonesty to foreigners who live and work here.

Omg I was in contact with her!! Thanks for the warning There are many fb groups where you can seek advice

Which class?!
