The role of the French Teacher

As a French Teacher, you’ll lead 30-45 minute French lessons supporting the children to learn the language and immerse them in cultural exploration. By providing enriching lessons, you’ll cater to different learning styles and ages from 3 months to 5 years, considering immersive ways to keep children engaged throughout the sessions.

You’ll be a master organiser! Planning lessons in advance and assessing the children’s learning are key parts of the role, with an emphasis on developing the children's social communication skills. Integrating French into different activities such as snack time will aid the learning process.

Your primary focus will be creating a safe and inspiring learning environment where every child thrives. You’ll be a team player ensuring that you provide the best and most enriching learning experience and stepping into the Nursery Educator role when not teaching French lessons.

We believe in celebrating every child's unique journey, and you'll play a key role in assessing and recording their progress and achievements. By aligning to our systems of observation, you'll ensure no milestone goes unnoticed, and every achievement is celebrated within the children’s French lessons.

We take pride in creating a nurturing environment that caters to individual needs. Your flexibility and dedication will be valued as we constantly push the boundaries of excellence in early years education.
