If you are considering going to France for a few weeks or months, are over 18 years old, and are motivated to live in France, learn French, and teach English, this program is for you! The Language Assistant program is a voluntary exchange between a French family and an English student.

Participants will teach English to family members 15 hours per week, using various methods such as tutoring, daily conversations, games, helping with homework, or activities tailored to the family’s needs. Upon establishing contact with a host family, participants start discussing specific English learning objectives and options, including conversation time and activities with children. The family provides a weekly schedule depending on work and school commitments, clarifying dedicated English learning time. It is required to prepare support of work in advance based on the family’s needs and to use online resources for a better teaching experience.
