WORK IN PARIS (OR FRANCE) AS A TEFL TEACHER
With Paris being the No. 1 tourist location in the world, it is understandable that France, in general, is a dream destination for many people. Teaching English provides for one way of making a living here and a way of making new friends. A 120-Hour TEFL or TESOL Certificate in your pocket is the minimum qualification you need to get started. And the good news is that, apart from Paris and some Mediterranean locations, most of France is still FAR from being overrun by TEFL teachers. English-teaching jobs are available everywhere.
In many countries, advanced qualifications are required to enter schools; the French, however, are more likely to hire native-like English-speaking teachers based on other credentials. While it is wise to be able to put a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate on the table, advanced degrees are not required. A Bachelor’s Degree in almost any subject and some teaching skills will take you a long way to a rewarding teaching position.
What type of work is out there? How much will I get paid? Well, Business English still seems to be No. 1. “Young Learners” are on the up in France. Teaching teenager groups after school will probably take off soon, as it did in Spain in the 90s. Although you can work a few hours while holding a student visa, this should not be considered as the only way of supporting yourself.
If you plan on staying in France for an extended period, you are well advised to apply for a work visa. Obtaining a work visa requires finding an organization that is willing to sponsor you throughout the process. As a contracted teacher, you will make between 1,400 – 1,800 Euros per month. It has become possible for U.S. citizens to teach legally in France with certain prerequisites. Please ask the center for more information.
Teaching English in France is also possible at the private level. If you are not interested in working for a school, college, or a corporation, consider teaching private lessons. As a private teacher in people’s homes, you can expect to earn about 15-20 Euros per session. If you are planning on staying in France, it can be a great way to supplement your income. The training center can help in setting this up. Teaching over the telephone has become particularly popular in France. It offers teachers the opportunity to even work while living in another country.
If you are interested in the French culture and know French to some extent, teaching English in France can be a great way to make a living. You need to do some homework before embarking on your adventure. It will take some effort, but it is very possible to make this your lifelong career and one of the most wonderful experiences in your life.

WHY TAKE A TESOL/TEFL COURSE IN NEW YORK
New York City has exhausted all superlatives you can possibly think of. Immerse yourself here for five minutes, and you will see why it is like no other place on earth. Only here will you find all of America’s attributes – the diversity, the culture, and the style – intensified in such an intriguing way. And only here will you experience those sublime moments that New York City is famous for.
America’s largest city is never boring. Come and see the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, the Bronx Zoo, Staten Island Ferry, Brooklyn Bridge, and all our other world-famous attractions. If you’ve been here before, there’s always another neighborhood to explore, another restaurant to try, another Broadway show or museum, another don’t-miss cultural performance or sporting event to see.
OUR iTTi NEW YORK TEFL INSTITUTE
Our school features accredited 120-Hour TEFL Certification programs that are accepted by schools around the world, including the highest paying, most conservative educational institutions in South Korea and in countries of the Middle East.
The school is located on the 11th floor of a modern, 12-storey Manhattan building with elevators and a receptionist on the ground floor. It features a modern space with air-conditioning, internet access, and convenient seating. There is a large student lounge area with tables, chairs, TVs, a refrigerator, a microwave oven, and a modern coffee machine that provides for different types of coffee all day for free.
Besides covering the theory a teacher needs to know, our trainees teach actual ESL students daily over a period of three weeks. They are from Algeria, Brazil, and Colombia. Teaching practice with students of different proficiency levels (beginning, intermediate, and advanced learners) is followed by immediate feedback and evaluation as well as additional review of theory or teaching techniques to improve our trainees’ performance.
With an MA TESOL and years of international teaching experience, we provide for training staff that will be able to bring out the best in our course participants. We have a proven track record of graduating superbly trained English teachers who are hired by the very best schools in the world. Our secret to success is small classes that allow for individual attention, our sincere belief in training quality, and a deep love for the teaching profession.
