How to Teach Abroad in France

Prepare to Teach Abroad

Set goals

Setting clear goals will help you tailor your teaching experience in France to match your lifestyle, career plans, and passions.

  • Define your time frame. Knowing how long you want to teach in France helps narrow down the best-fitting programs and visa options.
  • Know your flexibility. If you need a predictable schedule, opt for full-time roles; if not, tutoring and part-time work may suit you better.
  • Think about support needs. First-time teachers may benefit from programs offering training, housing help, and visa assistance.

Understand the benefits

Teaching in France is as enriching personally as it is professionally—think global growth with a French twist.

  • Build your global profile. Employers value candidates with cross-cultural teaching experience and language exposure.
  • Enjoy world-famous travel. Teaching in France gives you easy access to nearby European destinations for weekend getaways.
  • Balance work and lifestyle. Many teaching jobs allow free time to explore cities, coastlines, and the countryside.
  • Strengthen communication skills. Teaching in a multilingual classroom helps you develop patience, clarity, and adaptability.

Things to know

Preparing ahead can make your transition into French life as smooth as a glass of Bordeaux.

  • Visas can take time. Start early and gather documents like contracts, proof of income, and passport copies in advance.
  • French schools may differ. The education system can feel more formal or structured compared to other countries.
  • Seasonal hiring is common. Many positions begin in the fall or spring, so align your search with the French academic calendar.
  • Daily costs add up. Groceries, transport, and entertainment are cheaper outside major cities, especially Paris.

I had an amazing experience as a French au pair. My host family immediately made me feel so welcome--my host parents are the most caring, fun, and adventurous people I have ever met. I had a lot of free time, the girls were so much fun and very smart, the wages were great, and they took me on vacation to Greece. I truly couldn't have imagined a better trip!
