Program Reviews

I was a language assistant with CapEnglish for 6 months in Nimes. I worked at a school there teaching kids from the ages of 4-10. I had approximately 20 contact hours a week. During that time I also stayed with a host family. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I really enjoyed my time both at the school and with my host family. I felt immersed in daily French life and even learnt a little French along the way! As long as you come with an open mind and are willing to face the challenges of living abroad, you'll have a great time! I recommend this program to anyone wanting to start teaching English abroad. Bonne courage!

Teaching at the school was very enjoyable. I was nervous at first but the pupils were kind, well-behaved and engaged. You will grow attached to them so it was difficult leaving. The teachers were also helpful and quick to come to my aid if needed. Overall the school had a very nice atmosphere and I always finished my day feeling positive.
On days in which I was teaching the younger children (aged 4-8) alone for the Periscolaire group, I felt stressed as I could not control them at all. They were very different to the 10 to 11 year olds I was teaching as an assistant. The school didn't make me aware of how to deal with them ( even after contacting them many times) so I would recommend skipping this and going straight to CapEnglish who can contact the parents of the misbehaved children directly.

I worked as the Language Assistant for Cap English in Nîmes for 3 months, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Cap English were great to work with and always ensured that their employees were happy and comfortable. They were so helpful during this whole process as it was my first time teaching and moving abroad. I felt fully supported and I would recommend this job to everyone! As well as that, the school is amazing with lovely teachers and the city is outstanding. Although I didn’t speak French, they were so welcoming and supportive. The children are amazing and eager to learn.

After having spent six amazing months working as a LA for CapEnglish, I couldn’t recommend the experience enough. Not only are you welcomed into France by a caring host family who provides all your meals and takes you on holiday, yet the five hours of work a day leave plenty of time for you to explore the city, meet other foreigners, and pursue your own hobbies. Assisting at the school and living with a French family helped me improve my language skills enormously, and I would even say I picked up more French while at work than at the language school. All the teachers at the school were incredibly patient, helpful and welcoming, and I felt accepted from the first moment. I would also like to thank both Riana and Al from CapEnglish for their constant support, and the effort and time they invested into making this experience possible. Whether you are keen on brushing up your French skills, living in a foreign country or just looking for a bit of fun: just do it! You will definitely not regret it.

I enjoy my experience with CAP English. The management is doing a great job. They always help me whenever I need them. They provide great materials for teaching.

I will continue working with them.

I quite enjoy working for the group Cap'English and find the challenge of adapting to their way of teaching english interesting. I find the support from my pedagogy manager encouraging. I feel encouraged and hence continue to give my best at each intervention whether in the classrooms of during the mini-clubs.
The pedagogy bears in mind the demands per level and makes an effort to offer a large range of topics for kids to express themselves in english.
The program remains very attractive at each level and tries to conform to the European standards of learning foreign langues as much as possible!

Very good opportunity to teach in France

Being a teacher in CAP English allowed me to be part of the teaching community in France, which could otherwise be difficult because of the formal requirements in the country for foreign teachers.

Being part of CAP English helped me integrate into french society and be part of the teaching community.

By teaching in this program you get to interact on a daily basis with local people and also other expats and enjoy the experience of working and learning at the same time.

I have worked with CapEnglish for the last 3 years as a in-school teacher for lunch time and after school lessons and also as an online private teacher.

The staff are always quick to reply and easy to talk to (thanks Al and Malika!) and the support that you get is great. Materials are provided, so whilst you can adapt your teaching to your students, you know what the end goal is which is always great. For the private lessons, if you have your lesson ideas then they are open to that too!

Also, if you are looking for long term employment then they can give yearly contracts to help give a fixed income, likewise you can go freelance and leave yourself a bit more flexible. However, the schools you teach in don't move so you can't travel the globe and teach in the schools at the same time. But as long as you have a reliable internet connection then you could teach online to private individuals.
