As a Teaching Assistant, you will mentor and care for students at a leading French boarding school. There are no set formulas for the type of tasks you’ll be asked to do. Some schools may require you to be competent in a particular discipline. It may be on the sporting pitch, in the performing arts or in the classroom (maybe all three!).

Whatever the situation, you’ll gain valuable work experience with a range of new challenges.
The more you embrace the challenges and responsibilities of your role, the more you will be rewarded. You may even accompany your students on trips to international destinations! Your accommodation and meals will be provided. In addition, you’ll receive a weekly allowance to cover incidentals and provide you with some spending money.
