hoverfrog Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 the OH has recently done a TEFL course, as part of the 'expanding skill set' brief prior to getting a job when we migrate. As he enjoyed it so much, he was wondering what the qualifications needed were to teach this sort of thing in France - probably at the level of businesses / tech colleges / what ever! - I'm not sure extra curricular studies for 'priviledged' schoolkids would quite be his thing!

Nickndrachael Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 "Her indoors" is a British qualified PGCE (French and German) and has a TEFL from a good college but she cannot teach in a French state school with these qualifications. She is currently working for a private school in Geneva (where most of the English teachers have only TEFL as a qualification).As far as I am aware there are no requirements to have any qualification to teach in a private institution (it depends on what they want).

Tourangelle Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 in my experience, for teaching business English, TEFL is a really useful qualification. I'm in Lyon, and here, if you have that and degree level education, you walk into jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoverfrog Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 thanks for the replies OH is more interested in teaching other than schools, so doesn't look too bad a situation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitive Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the level of fees chargeable for one-to-one lessons and also for teaching to small groups (eg. business employees, etc). I will being going to France with a TEFL qualification, and am wondering if this is a realistic way to look at making a living. Any advice would be gratefully received.Many thanksClaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potager Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 HiI am teaching English to business people for a Chambre d'Commerce et Industrie. Not difficult to get work if you have the CELTA qualification but the pay is diabolical. Barely enough to keep the wolf from the door. Depending on where you live there is private work around. I am in a university town so charge 20 euros per hour and usually prefer to do lessons of 1.5 hours. Others I know charge 15 euros per hour.
