We start to arrange all positions around after Tet (the Vietnamese Lunar New Year – Jan-Feb) but our busiest period is around March-April-May (and paperwork to proceed in May-June-July) for the start of the new school year (August/September). May through to July is the peak hiring season for Topscore. If you are unsuccessful in an initial application you are welcome to reapply at these times.

Can I get Vietnamese bank account?

Yes, Topscore assists new employees with this process and requires foreign employee to open bank account in specific bank to transfer salary without troubles. Vietnamese Banking laws have changed in recent years to make it necessary for foreigners to provide a number of documents to set up local account and Topscore helps navigate these changes.

Does Topscore hire non-native speakers?

We don’t have the policy specific for native or non-native speaker but we use the following to define a native speaker (and sometimes the definition is changed by the updated law). A native speaker is someone who has spoken English from early childhood. It’s the language they used at school and with their family. Many people grow up speaking 2 languages and are bilingual, which would also qualify as a native speaker. All teachers must have native speaker mastery of English in all skills [including pronunciation]. If you are not bi-lingual or did not grow up using the English language but have a proficiency certificate equivalent of the C1 (CEFR) level TOPSCORE also considers you qualified. The proficiency certificate equivalent of the C1 (CEFR) is required as well for some non-native passport holders (updated by the law requirement) to apply work permit in Vietnam. We welcome all qualified, native level English teachers who pass our interviewing and screening processes.
