Teaching in Northern France

[AngelinaTaylor]

Hey there. Congrats on your teaching job in France, lucky you. I actually stumbled upon some classes advertised at my local University in Vancouver that certifies you as an ESL teacher for anywhere in the world, but I then learned that FRANCE and most of Europe requires you to have a University degree to teach English? Is this true?

Would it be possible for my boyfriend and I to move there and acquire jobs?

Hello, I am a Canadian currently teaching English in the North France. It's not overly difficult to find jobs teaching English if you have a university degree however the pay is usually low and the hours are usually random. However, once you are in the milieu it's easier to finder better paying jobs through networking. The good desirable jobs are never advertised

Hi CanaDave!

I am originally from Montréal,Québec but have been in Ottawa since 2002, definitely overdue for change. I will be in France in October for the month to network and seek employment.I am a federal government Canadian employee (I used to work for National Defense, CFIA and CIC also). I am in the process of obtaining my TEFL certificate from Oxford (I'm also an European citizen) so I am qualified to teach abroad, and I chose France. I do prefer southern France, more hospitable I am told.Toulouse, Marseilles, etc. If all works out well with an employment offer, then I look fwd to moving in the new year to France.

Any tips or reputable places I can contact to set up interviews for teaching English, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.if ever I'm down, it'd be so nice to meet up with a fellow canuck!
