I am Mr. Neil and originally from Doncaster, England. I moved to Vietnam in 2018 and I have loved living in Ho Chi Minh City with its vibrant culture and wonderful food. This will be my fourth year of teaching in Saigon Star and I am excited to continue working with such a fantastic team. I am ecstatic to continue to explore Vietnam and continue to work at such a wonderful school.

My name is Mr. Noel. I am from Ireland where my family live in a beautiful seaside town on the coast of the country. I travelled to Vietnam 5 years ago. I am very grateful to this wonderful country for the opportunities I’ve had and am delighted to continue my journey here, being the Year 4 teacher next year! Teaching is my passion and building strong, welcoming communities with my students and their families is very important, you will see that this year as we collaborate and work together. I will prepare and guide all my students with the skills and thinking to prepare them for their bright futures and we will have fun, exciting times as we learn together!
