Teacher – Head of Grade 5
Life always presents difficulties and challenges for us, not to defeat us, but to show us how strong we are.” - That is also the guideline for my life and my teaching career. I always look at the bright side and trust the people around me. I believe that maybe one student can achieve high academic results, another student can present better spelling and writing skills. And with a child who has not behaved yet, I believe that he or she will gradually change over time. When I put all my love and faith in my students, I have never been disappointed.

Preschool Teachers
HCMC University of Education
I have been working in Vietnam Australia International School for eight years, and I look forward to continuing to work here. Because the school has given me a professional working environment with modern facilities and a reasonable number of students, I can take care of each child of the class. In addition, the school also always creates conditions for teachers to improve their skills with contests organized by the District or the school and has timely rewards and encouragement for good teachers through each school year.
Literature Teacher
Ho Chi Minh City University of Education | Faculty of Literature There are many factors in imparting knowledge to students, but I think students' moods and emotions will play a decisive role. Therefore, in each class, I pay much attention to their facial expressions, gestures, eyes, words, and attitudes. And through that, I can adjust the teaching method to suit and most interest.
Giáo viên Tiểu học

Physics Teacher
HCMC University of Education | Faculty of Physics I learn a lot from my students. I still remember the class I was in charge of has a relatively special child. Outsiders may easily judge that he was selfish when he did not share with anyone, did not want to sleep on the same mattress with his friends. However, when the class went to charity, he was the one to share the most, when the teacher carried a lot of weight, he was the first person to help. Through this case, I think that I need to get to know my students more in order to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Parents whose children are preparing for Grade One often have lots of worries:How can they quickly overcome the feeling of unfamiliarity during the first days of Grade One and become confident and happy when going to school?Their ability to focus and learning skills are not yet proficient; how can we help our children practice this habit and passion for learning and maintain their interest in discovering new things?...
Chemistry Teacher
HCMC University of Education | Bachelor of Chemistry
Chemistry is a relatively difficult experimental science and it has interesting practical knowledge and applications, so I chose to study. And I have passed on my interest in chemistry to students with lessons as well as hands-on experiments. Chemistry is widely applied in everyday life. Inside cans of soft drinks, candies, or in everyday foods are many chemical reactions that take place without the children knowing. When I use this practical knowledge to incorporate into the lesson, the children are extremely excited.
Primary Teacher
HCMC University of Education
At the Vietnamese Australian school, I find that the relationship between school and families has been built very closely to create the highest efficiency in educating students. Over the past years, I myself have always kept close contact with students' parents through many different information channels such as student reports, phones ... In addition, Facebook is also a channel to help me learn more about the children's skills as well as activities at home.
