Guide to Teaching EFL in France

Living and working in a foreign country is never easy at first. I have just returned from France in a contract of three months, central and want share what I learned there was nothing, they are planning to teach EFL teaching.

EFL is very popular in France at the time, especially in the company. English is introduced in school until late at school, so there is a lack of fluent English in the workplace. Now, with economic growth in EuropeThe English is often necessary to communicate with foreign customers (as German).

While in France, I worked for a private company teaching EFL management, sales executives and management. This is common place and there are several schools offering workshops on various companies. (You definitely need more English teachers there will be an interesting way to explore!)

The following are some things I wish I had known before I leftFrance:

1) Taxes - I will not try to explain the French tax system, is (as it would be virtually impossible!) About 23% of my salary in taxes deducted, health and pension. I think that is about € 1,300 minimum gross monthly salary so you can use as a measure of how well they deserve. (Wages in Paris will obviously be higher.)

2) health care - is likely to have a medical examination to make sure that you are able to work. OnceYou work, you will be entitled to health benefits, although it must be paid in advance and be reimbursed later.

3) Cost of Living - is usually cheaper than the UK, probably between 25% -35% according to some sources. The food is very reasonable and the French often eat a meal at lunch, a sandwich before the flight to Britain. But this means working extra hours so that the lunch break, etc. .. to compensate

4) Property - French Propertyclassified as T or F (which means flat or house) with a number next to her, the number of rooms (kitchen and bathroom plus). For example, a T2 was a one bedroom apartment with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. If you only stay for a short period of time you want to consider an agreement with B & B or with a host family (which in turn helps you to improve your French!)

5) Private Lessons - If you are planning for private lessons in your spare time(They are in high demand) in addition to the day job, you can ask around 20-25 € per hour. I was lucky that I lived with a family in exchange for food and shelter, I gave her three children English lessons per week.

6) Travel - Make the most of France, when you're there, is a beautiful and incredibly diverse country! Trains are relatively cheap and frequent. Can offer a lower cost that if you keep at certain times and days so that the journey in thought planninga journey. If you are in northern France, near Paris, you can take to Brussels (two hours) or Amsterdam, (4 hours). You should try to visit the southern region Ardesche. It is a popular tourist destination, but worth a visit especially in summer.
The French (and how people can stereotype) are very friendly and know how to enjoy life. Work, is an unforgettable experience professionally, socially and Gourmet!

WellGood luck!
