My name is Amy Joy and I am excited to be a new addition to Hanoi Academy this year. I am from Ireland. I am a qualified TEFL teacher with a Bachelor of Law plus a Sociology Degree from the University of Limerick.

I had my first taste of teaching through a semester abroad with the University of Limerick. I went to Spain and taught English to teenagers. This was where I fell in love with teaching, I moved to Vietnam to teach right after I graduated from college. I have 12 months teaching experience in Vietnam where I gained most of my experience teaching in a private kindergarten. I was also a tutor for Grade 2 and 3 learners at Washington English Centre.

I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know all the children in NT and MGN this year. I hope to guide them as best as I can during the course of the year and have patience in the classroom. I know that each student has their own unique way of learning and I hope I will be able to support each child to discover which way works best for them.

Sincerely,

Amy Joy.
