VUS highly values the work teachers do, and as such the salary and benefits offered reflect this. The starting salary is very competitive and offers teachers the opportunity to not only live comfortably but also save for the future.The cost of living in Vietnam is much lower than that in many other countries, but the pay for a teacher is high compared to many other jobs. Teachers can expect to save at least 30% of their salary and still enjoy a good life. Those teachers working in centers such as Binh Duong, Bien Hoa and Vung Tau can expect an even lower cost of living and a much deeper cultural immersion into the Vietnamese way of life.
