Teacher Greeter Team
Welcome to UNIS from Your Teacher Greeters!
We would like to welcome you to a dynamic and exciting international school and teaching environment. We congratulate you on choosing UNIS as your next overseas posting.
Hanoi is a dynamic and lively city with an incredible number of local and international restaurants and bars, theatres, and opportunities to immerse yourself in local culture, yet there are also many comforts from home. Vietnam is an amazing country to explore as it has beautiful untouched beaches, fast-paced cities, numerous UNESCO world heritage sites, and a vast number of ethnic minority groups.
UNIS Hanoi is an amazing school with a truly international group of students and staff. One of our greatest strengths is our teacher body, composed of over 20 different nationalities of caring, committed, and very passionate individuals. Teaching at UNIS is extremely collaborative and colleagues work closely in committees and departments to create an effective teaching and learning environment.
Lily - Hue Vu
ES Teaching Assestant
Xin chào! My name is Lily (Hue Vu), and I’m from Hai Phong, Vietnam. I spent most of my youth studying, working, and living in Hanoi. I’ve been part of UNIS Hanoi for three years now, and it’s truly been a fun and impactful journey! I’ve learned and grown so much in this wonderful educational organization. At UNIS, we work hard, but hard work pays off, it does! (At least for me ^^). And yes, we play hard too! Living in Hanoi is a real treat.
Even after three years, I still consider myself a newbie at UNIS. It’s a big school with so many events, activities, and passionate educators, so there’s always something new to learn or catch up on. But we’re all in this together so no panic! On the flip side, when it comes to food and places to explore, you’re in good hands. (#LilysFoodTour is highly rated).
This is my first time as a Teacher Greeter, and I’m so excited! I can’t wait to get to know all of you and start creating beautiful memories and friendships together. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Cheers!
PS: Not my dog! I wish!

Secondary Technology & Innovation Coach
Hi! I'm Kimber Coté, and I am originally from California, USA. I have worked in public, private, charter and international schools across the US, Malaysia, and now in Vietnam. I moved to Vietnam with my cat, Savannah, in summer of 2023, so I'm only a couple years behind all of you.
One thing that I'm still amazed by in Hanoi, is that I can be on a busy street one second, surrounded by high-rises, with motos buzzing by, and just a couple turns later I can be on a quiet lane overhung with trees. Whether you want to live like a local, or prefer expat comforts, there's truly something for everyone!
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you, and am excited to help you make Hanoi your home.
