Hello! My name is Martha and I joined the New Vision team in November 2017. At the time of writing this I have been with New Vision for nearly 8 months and I am still having a fantastic time in Hà Tĩnh.
Hà Tĩnh city is peaceful and small which suits me rather well as I am not a big city person. There is a small expat community and most teachers in the city know each other to some extent. It is a still growing city and this is a wonderful time to be here to witness it’s growth.
During my time here I have taught students aged 2-17 years old both at the center and in local schools. (Kindergartens, Primary and High Schools). It has been a wonderful experience to come here to teach. I have made new friends and the students are livey and fun and they often make me laugh.
I have developed a great love for teaching High School students and was lucky enough to work at Hà Tĩnh high school for gifted students for several months where I met some amazing students and staff and had some fun discussion lessons. I was also very lucky in that I was presented the opportunity to coach the Hà Tĩnh City team in the Provincial Grade 9 English speaking competion. They went on to win the day and we treated ourselves to a hard earned Royal Tea to celebrate.
I have also discovered the joys of teaching in a nursery classroom at the local iSchool. Turning up to work to find out it is a little boys 2nd Birthday party is a memory I dont think I will soon forget. They may be tiny people but they can be pretty entertaining.
The staff at New Vision center are very friendly and there is always someone to help when you need it. Recently I have even started Vietnamese lessons here which are being provided to me along with a bike and housing. The opportunities i have been given here have been life altering and I couldn’t be more thankful. I appreciate being able to continually work here and being part of the New Vision team in Hà Tĩnh city.
