French Teacher in Person — Children’s Language Program | Manhattan

Lingo Circle | New York, NY Part-Time | In-Person Compensation: $35–$45/hour, depending on experience

Lingo Circle helps children build the confidence to actually speak another language.

Our programs are designed for children growing up in bilingual, multilingual and international families, as well as families who want their children to develop meaningful language skills.

We are launching in-person small-group language programs in Manhattan and are looking for an engaging French teacher to help lead our first NYC classes.

We are looking for a warm, energetic French teacher who genuinely enjoys working with children.

This is not a traditional grammar-heavy classroom.

Our goal is to get children talking.

Classes should be interactive and conversation-focused, incorporating games, stories, role play, projects and real-life situations that encourage children to use French naturally.

You will initially teach small groups of approximately 5–10 children, with opportunities for additional classes as enrollment grows.

• Lead engaging, in-person French classes for children
• Create a welcoming environment where children feel comfortable speaking French
• Encourage conversation rather than passive language learning
• Use games, activities, storytelling and real-life situations to develop oral confidence
• Adapt activities to students’ ages and proficiency levels
• Follow Lingo Circle curriculum and teaching methodology
• Communicate student progress and observations to the Lingo Circle team
• Maintain a professional and positive relationship with students and parents
• Help create an experience that makes children excited to come back each week

• Native or near-native French speaker
• Experience teaching or working with children
• Energetic, patient and engaging personality
• Strong ability to manage a small group of children
• Comfortable teaching through conversation and interactive activities
• Reliable and professional
• Authorized to work in the United States
• Able to teach in person in Midtown Manhattan

Experience teaching bilingual children, FLE/French as a foreign language, DELF, international-school students or heritage French speakers is a plus.

Initial classes are expected to take place after school on weekday afternoons and/or Sundays in Midtown Manhattan near the Empire State Building.

The position will begin with a limited weekly schedule as we launch the program, with the opportunity to add additional classes based on enrollment.

$35–$45 per teaching hour, depending on experience and qualifications.

Potential for increased hours and additional responsibilities as Lingo Circle’s NYC programs expand.

You’ll be joining at the beginning of our expansion into in-person learning in New York.

For the right teacher, this is an opportunity to grow with the program, build long-term relationships with families and potentially take on a larger teaching or program-lead role as we expand.
