TEACH ENGLISH IN FRANCE
One teacher said living and working in France was a little difficult at first, but once he settled into the jobs and culture, made some local friends, it was amazing. Even if we have not been to France, most of us have seen enough pictures, or heard about the majestic like scenery and atmosphere of a rich and old culture. The food in Pairs is supposed to be some of the best and most exotic flavors world wide.
Finding a teaching job
Teaching in France requires some time job searching, as teaching ESL jobs are not generally in an abundance compared with other areas such as several countries in Asia. Many of the teaching positions will be found in companies, public schools and private language institutions.
Qualifications
General at least a Bachelor of Arts is required and a native English speaker. Other courses such as TESOL or CELTA as well as teaching experience will help with getting hired as well as some basic knowledge of French, though not necessary. When arriving and living in France, speaking some of the local language will help you to get around, buy food and other basics.
