Teaching in France
Schooling standards are exceptional throughout France. English is taught at varying levels to children from as young as 9 months old to prepare school children with basic conversational skills. It’s important to take into consideration that the teaching day is a little longer in many parts of France, normally 9 am to 6 pm, although many schools have a day off midweek to encourage students to study privately and take part in extracurricular activities such as music lessons and sports.
Teaching opportunities can be sought in Bordeaux, Grenoble, Le Havre, Lyon, Marseilles, Montpellier, Toulouse, and of course, Paris. While Paris can be the most challenging and competitive when it comes to teaching in France, it is also the most popular city by far. The City of Lights is world renowned for its art, architecture, and gastronomy however it comes at a price as you can also expect a higher cost of living.
