Teaching Volunteering in France

Volunteer 15 hours each week in exchange for free room and board in the south of France. Participating in this programme implies sharing daily life with a French family, learning their language and culture, and adopting it as their own for a period of time. At the same time, share your own language and culture with the members of the local family. Your main duty is to help the family, usually the kids, with their English studies for up to 15 hours per week. Lessons can be more or less formal, depending upon their needs. The family offers full board and private accommodation. Facilities are shared with the family. Each family is interviewed and carefully selected, taking into account their genuine desire to learn a new language and share their culture with the participants. Eligibility for this program includes: - Be a native English speaker - Have finished High School - Be flexible, open-minded, and willing to adapt quickly to your new environment - Respect the host family's rules - Have some knowledge of French; the programme is not suitable for total beginners in French - Previous teaching experience is not a requirement but is highly recommended

The Cultural Exchange Project (formerly The GeoVisions Foundation) offers an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in French culture, learn the language, and savor delicious French cuisine for 3 months by becoming an English tutor at a local school. You'll have the chance to live like a local with a carefully selected host family, whose children attend the school where you'll be tutoring English. By tutoring students and assisting teachers in conversational English for up to 15 hours a week, you'll become an integral part of the community. The rest of your time is yours to explore your new surroundings and connect with the friendly locals.
