Working at Apollo

For eleven years I have taught in language schools all over the world: in Thailand, Canada, France and Vietnam.  Of all the schools I have taught at, and I have taught at many, Apollo in Ho Chi Minh has been the school I have enjoyed teaching at the most.

There is a wonderful, superbly comradely atmosphere in the staff room and my boss, Andrea James, is the best DoS I have worked for by far.  She knows how to manage people.  As for the administrative support and the facilities, as a teacher you could not ask for better and - why I don't know - the students at Apollo are among the most motivated I've ever met.

I regret having to leave Apollo, but I need a Master's in TESOL to advance in my career.  If, when I finish my master's next year, I do not get a university teaching position in Vietnam as soon as I would like, Apollo will be the first place I will apply to. I love working here.
