Where to find a job as a french teacher?

In most countries there is an Alliance Française or similar private French high school.- It is possible there is web site for them.

Berlitz schools in Japan have people teaching more than just English. French is also listed as one of the languages taught. I worked at AEON in Osaka for 16 months and I heard that Berlitz is well respected - but it's still one of the larger chain schools. You might also find other countries where Berlitz has French classes.

I also knew a person who taught at an Alliance Francaise in India. There seem to be locations all over the place.

Actually, anywhere French tourists tend to go you will most likely find a need for French teachers.

When I lived in Greece, it was quite common to find 10-12 year olds who spoke 4 languages quite fluently. Many of them had parents involved in the tourism industry and who wanted their kids to be able to speak with those tourists. So you could find lessons in English, German, Italian, French, Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian, etc. etc.

So where do all the French tourists go?

I've met French teachers working in Japan and Thailand.

A good friend works for the Alliance Francaise in Rio. Before that, she worked at the French school in Beijing and as a private French tutor for diplomatic families. She is a native French speaker with a Master's specialization in teaching French to foreigners. Try these options, but tutoring may be the easiest way to find some work.

If you are qualified to work as a teacher in school, a degree + teaching qualification or similar, then you could get a job in an international school as most offer French as a second language. However, you usually need to commit to a 2 year contract initially.

If you're a qualified teacher (and willing to spend some time and money having your credentials evaluated) you could probably get a job in the Canadian public school system. You would need either a four-year degree in Education or a four-year degree in a teachable subject then an additional teaching qualification like a B.Ed, MA or M.Ed.

If you're not a licensed teacher, you might find work in bigger cities near the French borders. When I taught English in Turin our school also had two French teachers on staff who worked nearly full-time (but not quite). They taught mainly corporate clients who had relationships with French businesses.

Teaching English would be better, thats what most people want to learn.

Let me second the people who mentioned Japan. There are wide ranging opportunities here for teaching your native language even when it is not English. I know three Germans who at one time taught German here and none of them were trained as teachers. I think getting a job teaching French wouldn't be that hard either at any of the major language schools. Berlitz is a good one.
