It’s a great way to build your teaching experience and embrace the lifestyle, language, and everyday beauty of life in France.

France Makes it Possible to Live Well While You Teach

France is a rewarding place to start teaching English – especially in Toulouse, where the demand for teachers is booming and the quality of life is hard to beat. You’ll find a relaxed pace, great food, a vibrant student culture, and almost year-round sunshine.

You can teach in Toulouse, where there’s a strong community of fellow teachers and an easygoing lifestyle that makes it a great place to live and work. Or you could teach in cities across the country, where most teachers work freelance for language schools or tutor privately.

You can take the full 5-week TEFL course in Toulouse, or begin with online study and complete your training on site with our Hybrid TEFL course.

Either way, you’ll finish with a TEFL certificate, hands-on classroom experience, and the confidence to step into your first teaching role in France or beyond.

Most graduates who stay in France begin with a few hours a week at one or more language schools and build up their schedule over time.

Schools usually hire freelance teachers who are already in the country, so completing your course in France puts you in a strong position when applying for jobs.

Why enrol through School of TEFL? A Personal Note

I started School of TEFL because I know what it’s like to look at TEFL courses and wonder who to trust – or if it’s even the right step. When I started out, I wanted straight answers, real support, and a course that would actually prepare me.

That’s what we offer here.

When you enrol through School of TEFL, you’ll take the same accredited course delivered by our partner, TEFL Toulouse. But we also try to make the process a little easier – at the moment we’re offering $100 off your deposit, and if you complete the France course in full but don’t pass, we’ll refund that deposit entirely.

You’ll also get a few extras: a free Grammar Course to help you prepare, access to a library of lesson plans when you start teaching, and ongoing support from people who’ve done this themselves.

We aren’t a big corporate operation. We’re a small, friendly team – and we’ll treat you like a person, not a sale.

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably serious about making a change. I’d love to help you make it happen.
