|
|
Hi.
I'm considering taking a 4-week 120 hour TEFL course with the International TEFL Academy this year, and potentially moving to Paris in January to try and find work.
The only problem is, I seem to get quite a lot of conflicting information regarding finding TEFL work in Paris.
1) I understand that September is the busiest hiring month, but what is January like? Would I be sure to find a job or would it be likely that I could end up having to go back home?
2) From what I've read online, it seems that a lot of jobs in Paris requires teaching experience (which I don't have) or that you won't get many hours... it doesn't sound very promising. Is this true?
Thanks for any info |

There are jobs to be had in January as people are returning from the Christmas holiday. Also, universities may have had someone quit mid semester, so that is a possibility.
Regarding universities, focus on getting a post with a private institution. Public universities normally hire vacataires, and you must have a teaching job with a minimum of 300 hours per year elsewhere; in addition, you are paid at the *end* of the semester, which is rather unreasonable as no one should have to wait more than a month for his pay. |
