Proven System
The exact application process that's landed hundreds of teachers their Vietnam contracts
You're qualified.
Your English is perfect.
But they reject you the moment they see where you're from.
That ends here.
Hundreds of schools in Vietnam are actively hiring non-native English teachers.
Training centers. Kindergartens. International schools.
They don't care about your passport.
They care if you can TEACH.
And we're going to show you EXACTLY how to land one of these positions.
You've Sent Out 47 Applications This Month
✓ TEFL certificate?
✓ University degree?
✓ Teaching experience?
You're MORE qualified than half the "native speakers" getting hired.
But the moment they see your passport...
It's not even about your ENGLISH anymore.
They're rejecting you before they even hear you speak.
And you're sitting there thinking...
"How is this legal? How is this fair?"
It's not.
But it's reality.
At least... in MOST countries.
Here's What They Don't Tell You
Vietnam doesn't play that game.
At least not the way other countries do.
Yes, SOME schools in Vietnam prefer native speakers.
But hundreds of schools are ACTIVELY hiring non-native English teachers.
Training centers. Kindergartens. Language schools. Public schools.
They care about your ABILITY to teach.
Not the color of your passport.
The opportunities exist.
They're REAL.
They pay $1,300-$1,800/month on a first contract, up to $2,500 with side classes.
The problem isn't that the jobs don't exist.
The problem is that nobody's showing you HOW to access them.
Until now.

"Why Listen to Me?"
Hi, I'm Julia.
Nine years ago, I was living what everyone called a "good life."
Steady income. Long-term relationship. Security.
But I felt like I was living at maybe 10% of my potential.
Then one night, I bought a one-way ticket to Beijing.
One day before my 25th birthday.
If not now, then never.
When my money ran out after two months, I discovered I could teach English.
Even with my mismatched accent.
Even with zero experience.
After China, I traveled through Vietnam, Cambodia, eventually settling in Milan.
But people started asking:
"Julia, how did you do this? Can you help me?"
So I did.
One by one.
And over the past few years, I've personally helped 200+ teachers get hired in Vietnam.
I know:
- → Which schools are hiring (and which ones to avoid)
- → What salary ranges are realistic based on YOUR profile
- → How to position yourself to compete with native speakers
- → The EXACT application process that gets results
I didn't learn this from a book.
I learned it by doing it.
Over and over.
I COULD keep doing this one-on-one for $500+ per person.
But most people don't need that.
They just need a CLEAR SYSTEM.
That's UP2U.
Everything I'd tell you in a one-on-one consultation...
Packaged into a step-by-step system...
For a fraction of the price.
200+ teachers hired. Same system.
Let's get you hired too.
The Real Cost of Waiting
"Let me be brutally honest about timing..."
A lot of people see this page.
Get excited.
Then tell themselves:
"I'll do this later. Maybe next month. Maybe when I'm more ready."
And I get it.
Change is scary.
But here's what "waiting" actually costs you:
Every month you delay is $1,300-$1,800 you're NOT earning in Vietnam.
Wait 3 months?
$5,400
you just gave up.
Wait 6 months?
$10,800
Gone.
Because you "weren't ready yet."
But it gets worse.
Vietnam has two main hiring seasons: September and January.
And most schools do their BULK hiring 2-3 months before classes start.
Which means:
→ If you want a September job, you need to be applying by June/July
→ If you want a January job, you need to be applying by October/November
Miss those windows?
You're stuck waiting for the next cycle.
Which could be MONTHS away.
Here's what most people don't realize:
The application process takes TIME.
You need to:
- Build your materials (CV, intro video, demo lesson)
- Research and contact schools
- Do interviews
- Negotiate offers
- Handle visa/work permit paperwork
That's not a "weekend project."
Even if you move fast, you're looking at 4-8 weeks.
Which means if you START in August...
Hoping to get hired for September...
You're already too late.
The good jobs are gone.
You're competing for scraps.
But if you start NOW?
You're not just hitting the September window.
You're hitting it EARLY.
Which means:
- → Schools still have their best positions available
- → You have time to apply to multiple schools (and choose the best offer)
- → You can actually negotiate (because they haven't filled their spots yet)
Plus...
If you get hired in June or July...
By September, you'll already have 2-3 months of experience.
Which means by January, you can apply for BETTER schools.
Higher pay.
Better locations.
You're not starting from scratch.
You're leveling up.
Here's the bottom line:
You can keep "thinking about it."
You can wait until you "feel ready."
But while you're waiting...
Someone else is getting hired.
Someone else is earning $1,300-$1,800/month.
Someone else is building the life you want.
The only difference between you and them?
They started.
So here's my question:
How much is waiting REALLY costing you?
Not just in money.
But in TIME.
In freedom.
In the life you COULD be living.
Still want to wait?
Or are you ready to start?
Introducing: Not Native, Still Hired
The complete system for landing a $1,300-$1,800/month teaching job in Vietnam.
Built specifically for non-native English teachers.
Here's what makes this different from every other "teach abroad" program:
We don't discriminate.
700+ teachers placed from 32+ countries.
Colombia. Algeria. Tunisia. Brazil. Philippines. Albania. Serbia. Germany. Romania.
If you can teach... we'll show you how to get hired.
We know which schools ACTUALLY hire non-native teachers.
And we give you direct access to them.
No more wasting time applying to places that'll ghost you.
We've reverse-engineered what works.
After placing hundreds of teachers...
We KNOW what schools want to see in applications, CVs, and intro videos.
We handle the confusion.
Visas, documents, contracts, red flags...
We walk you through ALL of it.
We don't just "sell you a course."
We give you actionable systems, personal feedback...
And we check your materials before a single school ever sees them.
This isn't theory.
This isn't some guru selling you a dream.
This is a SYSTEM.
Built by people who've done this hundreds of times.
And it works.
What Does This
Actually Cost?
Everything You'll Spend Before First Salary
One-way to Vietnam
Depends on your tier. 7-day money-back guarantee on both — on Tier 2, until your first feedback request.
Many employers offer free room or allowance
Eating out daily is cheap in Vietnam
Often 50–100% paid by employer
Already have one = $0. We can source one for $180.
Degree translation + notarization
100% free at efset.org
How Fast You Break Even
Bottom line: Invest $2,100, work 1.5 months, break even, then keep earning $1,300–$1,800/month
Your Money.
Month by Month.
* Conservative: $1,400/mo avg. salary, $600/mo living costs, $2,100 upfront. Many teachers save $900–1,100/mo.
Which Tier Is Right For You?
Most teachers choose Tier 2. It gives you flexibility, control, and everything you need to land a great job.
Tier 1 is for experienced teachers who've already taught abroad and just need the system.
Tier 3 is by application, for teachers who want us to apply for them and stay on until they're hired.
Important: If you want to start teaching in September 2026...
You need to begin the process NOW.
Visa processing takes 8-12 weeks. Schools start hiring in June/July.
If you wait until August... you'll miss the September window.
Don't let "I'll do it later" turn into "I'll do it next year."
Tier 2: "The Guided Path"
You do the applications.
You control the timeline.
But we make SURE you're ready.
What you get:
- Everything in Tier 1
- Personal CV review + rebuild
- Intro video coaching + feedback
- Vetted school database (200+ schools) + our exact system for finding NEW schools yourself
- 2 rounds of feedback on your full application file (everything you send to schools), plus answers to any questions you send with it
- Live Zoom calls with our team, and the recordings to watch later if you miss one
- A private chat with other teachers doing exactly what you are doing, so you are not figuring it out alone
- 7-day money-back guarantee, until your first feedback request
We hold the group Zooms as needed rather than on a fixed schedule, and we record them, so nothing is lost if the timing does not suit you.
THE ADVANTAGE:
Some Tier 2 students leave in May or June. Already in Vietnam. Already earning. While others are still WAITING for September.
You're not locked to a timeline. You move when YOU'RE ready.
Plus — you're learning the SYSTEM for finding schools. Not just getting a list. New schools open every week in Vietnam. We teach you how to find them, vet them, and apply. This makes you self-sufficient. Even after your first job, you'll know how to find your next opportunity.
THE TRADE-OFF:
You do the applications yourself.
(Don't worry. We give you templates. And we review everything.)
But if you're motivated and want MAXIMUM flexibility? This is strategically smarter.
7-day money-back guarantee, until your first feedback request
Tier 3: "The Certainty Path"
Maximum support. Maximum hand-holding.
You show up. We handle the rest.
Everything in Tier 2, plus:
- We apply to schools FOR you
- Direct access to vetted school network
- Ongoing support until you're HIRED
- Placement continuation guarantee
THE TRADE-OFF:
You're locked to September or January. That's the timeline.
Want to leave BEFORE September? Choose Tier 2.
But if you want the HIGHEST level of support, and you're committed to the cycle, this is for you.
We're selective about Tier 3. We only take teachers we're confident we can place, which is why it's application-only, and we work with you until you're hired.
Tier 1: "The DIY Path"
You're completely on your own.
But you have the MAP.
What you get:
- Complete 8-module system (46 lessons)
- Vetted school database (200+ schools)
- CV + Intro Video frameworks
- Application & email scripts
- Interview & negotiation frameworks
- Visa & document guidance
What you don't get:
- No personal CV review
- No intro video feedback
- No community access
- No direct support
WHO THIS IS FOR:
- → You've taught abroad before (just not Vietnam)
- → You're confident in your ability to execute
- → You don't need validation or feedback
There is also Tier 3, The Certainty Path: full concierge, we apply for you and stay until you are hired. Application only, a handful of teachers per cycle. Curious? Apply here.
Still Not Sure?
Ask yourself these TWO questions:
1) "Do I want to figure this out myself... or do I want help?"
2) "Do I need CERTAINTY by September... or do I want the flexibility to leave BEFORE September?"
Your answers will tell you which path is right for you.
Just the system
= Tier 1
For experienced teachers who've done this before. (Or people who just want the map and are confident they can execute.)
Flexibility + Speed
= Tier 2
Most teachers choose this. You get the system, the support, AND the ability to leave as early as May/June. (Or wait until you're ready.)
Done for you
= Tier 3
By application. We apply to schools for you and stay on until you're hired. Selective, and aligned to the September/January cycle.
Tier 3 is our private mentorship track, where our team works with you one-on-one until you're hired. It's by application: we only take teachers we're confident we can place. Honestly? Most students never need it. The course walks you through every single step. But if you want us closer, apply here.

Our Guarantees to You
We're not here to take your money and disappear.
We're here to get you RESULTS.
And whichever path you pick, the deal is the same:
7-Day Money-Back Guarantee (Both Tiers, one condition on Tier 2)
Go through the first few modules.
Watch the lessons. Check out the materials. See if it's what you expected.
Tier 1: If it's not for you? Email us within 7 days. Full refund, no questions asked.
Tier 2: Same 7-day guarantee — but only while you haven't submitted a feedback request. The moment you send your first feedback request (of your 2 rounds), the money-back guarantee no longer applies, even if you're still inside the 7 days, because our team has already begun reviewing your materials.
Until your first feedback request, we're not holding your money hostage.
Why can we afford this? Because the system works. You're using our templates, our database, our process, the same ones behind 700+ placements. If you look inside and decide it's not right for you before using a feedback round, email us within 7 days. You get your money back. Simple.
Bottom Line:
Both tiers: Low risk. Try it for 7 days and get your money back if it's not right — for Tier 2, as long as you haven't used a feedback round yet.
We only win if YOU win.
That's the deal.
Real Teachers. Real Results.
These aren't fake reviews.
These are REAL people who were in your exact situation.
Rejected because of their passport.
Now earning $1,300-$1,800/month in Vietnam, up to $2,500 with side classes.
Here are their stories:
"I Got Rejected 52 Times. Now I'm Earning $1,500/Month in Hanoi."
"For eight months, I applied everywhere.
China. Thailand. South Korea. Online platforms.
Every single application... same response:
'We're only considering native English speakers at this time.'
I had a university degree. A TEFL certificate. Two years of tutoring experience.
None of it mattered.
They saw my Algerian passport and that was it.
Then I found UP2U in March.
By May 15th, I had three interview offers.
By June 3rd, I signed a contract with a language center in Hanoi.
$1,500/month. 24 teaching hours per week. Free accommodation.
My living costs? $450/month.
I'm saving over $1,000 every month.
That's more than I made in my ENTIRE salary back home.
And for the first time in my life... I'm actually respected as a professional."
"I'm 48 Years Old. I Thought I Was Too Old. I Was Wrong."
"I'm not gonna lie.
I thought this was for twenty-somethings with backpacks and Instagram accounts.
I'm 48. Graying hair. Reading glasses.
I figured schools would take one look at me and say 'no thanks.'
But UP2U told me something I didn't expect:
'Vietnam values maturity and professionalism. Your age is an ASSET here.'
They were right.
I got hired at a private school in Ho Chi Minh City within seven weeks.
$1,700/month.
The school director specifically said they wanted someone 'experienced and stable.'
Turns out... being older actually HELPED.
Now I'm living in a nice apartment. I have a motorbike. I travel on weekends.
And I'm saving $1,100/month.
Age was never the problem.
I just needed to know WHERE to apply."
"We Had Zero Teaching Experience. We Both Got Hired in 6 Weeks."
"We had TEFL certificates but we'd never stepped foot in a real classroom.
Every job posting said 'minimum 1 year experience required.'
We thought we'd have to take some terrible unpaid internship just to get started.
But UP2U showed us which schools ACTUALLY hire first-time teachers.
We followed the system. Applied to the right schools. Used their templates.
We both got hired within six weeks.
Now we're teaching in Da Nang.
$1,350/month each. Living together so our costs are split.
We're saving $1,600 COMBINED every month.
And we're literally ten minutes from the beach.
We wake up. Teach a few hours. Then spend afternoons at coffee shops or by the ocean.
This used to be something we scrolled past on Instagram.
Now we're LIVING it."
"I Was Terrified to Move Alone. Now I Have a Whole Community."
"Moving to a country where I don't speak the language...
Don't know anyone...
Don't know the culture...
I was genuinely scared.
What if I hated it? What if I got scammed? What if the school was terrible?
But UP2U didn't just give me the system.
They walked me through EVERYTHING.
How to evaluate schools. What red flags to avoid. How to handle the visa process.
They even connected me with other teachers who were already in Vietnam.
By the time I arrived in Hanoi... I already had three people offering to help me settle in.
Now I'm teaching at a kindergarten. $1,450/month.
I have my own apartment. A motorbike. A community.
And I've never felt more confident in a decision I've made.
The life I'm living now?
I couldn't have even imagined it a year ago."
"I Thought My Brazilian Accent Would Disqualify Me. It Didn't."
"I speak fluent English.
But I have a Brazilian accent.
Not heavy. But it's there.
And every teaching job I applied for in Europe or online... they rejected me.
'Native speakers only.'
I started believing my accent WAS the problem.
Then I joined UP2U.
They told me: 'Vietnamese schools don't care about your accent. They care if you can TEACH.'
I didn't fully believe it.
But I followed the system anyway.
Applied to 18 schools.
Got 5 interview requests.
Signed a contract in Hue for $1,350/month.
The school director said: 'Your energy is great. Your lesson plan was clear. When can you start?'
Not a single question about my accent.
Now I'm three months in.
Saving $850/month.
And my students love my classes.
Turns out... the accent was never the issue.
I was just applying to the WRONG markets."
700+ Teachers Placed. 32+ Countries.
If they can do it...
So can you.
Every Question You're Probably Thinking Right Now
These come from 1,000+ real conversations with teachers just like you.
If you're wondering it — someone already asked it.
Didn't Find Your Answer?
We get it. Moving to another country is a big decision.
You probably have SPECIFIC questions about your situation.
Here's what to do:
We're not hiding behind a sales page.
We're here to help you make the RIGHT decision for YOU.
Even if that means telling you Vietnam ISN'T right for you.
Why You Need to Move Now
Let me be brutally honest about timing.
Every month you delay = $1,300-$1,800 you're NOT earning.
Wait 3 months? That's up to $5,400 gone.
Wait 6 months? $10,800.
And it gets worse.
Vietnam has two main hiring waves: September and January.
Most schools do their BULK hiring 2-3 months BEFORE classes start.
Which means:
- → Want a September job? You need to be applying by June/July.
- → Want a January job? You need to be applying by October/November.
Miss those windows?
You're waiting MONTHS for the next cycle.
Here's what most people don't realize:
The application process takes TIME.
Building materials. Researching schools. Interviews. Visa paperwork.
Even if you move fast, you're looking at 4-8 weeks.
So if you START in August hoping to get hired for September?
You're already too late.
The good jobs are gone.
But if you start NOW?
You're not just hitting the September window.
You're hitting it EARLY.
Which means:
- → Schools still have their best positions available
- → You have time to apply to multiple schools (and choose the best offer)
- → You can actually negotiate (because they haven't filled their spots yet)
Plus...
If you get hired in June or July...
By September, you'll already have 2-3 months of experience.
Which means by January, you can apply for BETTER schools.
Higher pay. Better locations.
You're not starting from scratch. You're leveling up.
And here's what most people don't know...
This window won't stay open forever.
China used to be EXACTLY like Vietnam.
Open market. Non-native friendly. Accessible requirements.
Then... almost overnight... the requirements tightened.
Degree authentication. Criminal background checks. TEFL minimums. Nationality restrictions.
The window CLOSED.
Teachers who moved when it was open? Already established. Already earning.
Teachers who waited? Locked out entirely.
Vietnam is heading in the same direction.
We don't know WHEN it'll change.
But we know markets like this don't stay this accessible forever.
So here's the bottom line:
You can keep "thinking about it."
You can wait until you "feel ready."
But while you're waiting...
Someone else is getting hired.
Someone else is earning $1,300-$1,800/month.
Someone else is building the life you want.
The only difference between you and them?
They started.
So here's my question:
How much is waiting REALLY costing you?
Not just in money.
But in TIME. In freedom. In the life you COULD be living.
Still want to wait?
Or are you ready to start?
"Here's Why This Is A No-Brainer Decision"
Look...
We get it.
Spending $349 when you're NOT earning yet...
That's scary.
So let's break down the risk:
Worst Case Scenario (Tier 2):
You join. Go through the first few modules. Decide it's not for you — before using a feedback round.
You email us within 7 days.
You get your money back.
So your ACTUAL risk is $0 — as long as you haven't submitted a feedback request yet.
Best Case Scenario (Tier 2):
You follow the system. Apply to 20-30 schools.
You get 3-5 interview offers.
You sign a contract paying $1,400/month.
After ONE month of work...
You've made 4X your investment.
So what's riskier?
Spending $349 on a PROVEN system...
Or staying in the SAME situation you're in now...
For another 6-12 months?
Here's What You're Getting:
All Tiers Include:
- Complete 8-module system (46 lessons)
- Vetted school database (200+ schools)
PLUS: You'll learn our exact system for finding NEW schools yourself. New schools open every week in Vietnam. We'll show you how to spot them, vet them, and reach out.
- Proven CV, video, and email templates
- Interview scripts and negotiation frameworks
- Visa & documentation guidance
- Private community of 700+ placed teachers
- 7-day money-back guarantee, until your first feedback request
Tier 2 Also Includes:
Everything in Tier 1, PLUS:
- Personal CV review + intro video feedback
We'll make sure your application materials are STRONG before you send them anywhere.
- School search strategy
We'll show you the EXACT approach for maximizing your chances.
- 2 rounds of feedback on your full application file, everything you send to schools, plus answers to any questions you send with it
The Investment:
THE TIMELINE: Join today → Applying within 2-3 weeks → Hired within 2-3 months
THE WINDOW: Won't stay this open forever. China closed. Vietnam's next.
THE QUESTION: Are you going to take action while the opportunity exists? Or look back in 2 years wishing you had?
Or let us apply for you, Tier 3 by application →
Still have questions? Message us on WhatsApp →
Still Not Sure?
We get it.
Moving to another country is a big decision.
You don't want to rush into it.
So here's what we recommend:
Option 1: Send us your qualification video.
Film yourself for one minute on your selfie camera — tell us about your relevant experience. Nothing complicated. If we see you're qualified... we'll connect you with our current teachers. Maybe even teachers from YOUR country. So you can ask them questions directly.
(We only do this for qualified candidates... because our teachers got tired of random people flooding their inbox. We're protecting their time. And yours.)
Option 2: Email us your specific situation.
We'll tell you honestly if Vietnam is right for you. Or if you should look elsewhere.
hi (at) up2uagency.info →Option 3: Follow us on Instagram.
We share daily updates, teacher stories, and market insights.
@up2u.go →But here's the thing...
The teachers who are living in Vietnam right now?
They didn't wait for "perfect certainty."
They took the leap.
And it worked out.
So whenever you're ready...
We'll be here.
Schools are hiring RIGHT NOW.
The longer you wait, the fewer positions are left.
Start today.
