Apply for online French tutoring jobs

Looking to find online tutoring jobs? Teaching French online is simple with online platforms like LearnZone. Getting set up is easy; all you’ll need is a strong internet connection, a computer with a webcam, a headset with a microphone, and the ability to use Zoom or Skype.

 

At LearnZone, teachers who become an online tutor on our platform have a range of experience. While some of them have years of teaching under their belt, others are just starting out. Whether you’re new to tutoring or considering taking your in-person tutoring online, the most important thing is that you’re open to learning.

 

We do not require a formal degree to become a teacher at LearnZone. This means that you can become an online French teacher as long as you speak fluent French. That being said, having specialized French teaching qualifications can help you to plan classes more effectively and likewise to attract a more niche set of students.

 

Many of our French teachers have degrees in teaching, or specialized certifications including DALF and DELF tests, or the français langue étrangère (FLE) certification, which provides a broad foundation for teaching French as a second language along the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

 

Likewise, some successful teachers on the platform prefer to tailor their teaching to specific language tests. These include the American French AP and SAT exams, as well as the TCF and TEF exams, offered by the French Ministry of Education and Chamber of Commerce and Industry Paris respectively. Others include the TFI, which is geared towards adults working in international business and academia, as well as the DELF and DALF, progressive diplomas offered through the French Ministry of Education.

 

Some of our tutors also focus on special education, specializing in classes for students with Asberger’s syndrome, ADHD, and dyslexia.

 

There is also significant demand for less specialized French teacher jobs on LearnZone, including conversational French, general French, and French for beginners.

 

Teaching online with LearnZone means that you have the freedom to work as many or as few hours as you choose. According to LearnZone’s internal statistics, among French tutors based in the United States, 87% of teachers choose to work between 0-10 hours weekly, 11% choose to work between 10-20 hours weekly, and 2% choose to work between 30-40 hours weekly.

 

With this data in mind, it is clear that the majority of teachers choose to work part-time with the platform. That being said as hours are set by teachers themselves, working full time is also an option for those who desire to do so.

 

With LearnZone, the amount you charge for your classes is entirely up to you. On average, our teachers charge about $23 an hour, though rates vary widely. Depending on experience, nationality, and specialization, rates range from $5 to $100 an hour.

 

Of course, those who work more hours make more on a monthly basis. Among French teachers based in the United States, for example, those working 0-10 hours weekly made an average of $151 a month. Those working 10-20 hours a week made an average of $739 a month, and those working 30-40 hours a week made $893 monthly.

 

Learning to teach online effectively is a key part of your success working through LearnZone. Setting realistic student expectations, managing time well, and taking advantage of online resources available lay the groundwork for effective teaching.
