Online French Instructor; Remote

Who are we?

We are a premier, accredited online language school seeking modern French language instructors to teach high school and middle school French courses online. Our students are typically between the ages of 12 and 18 years old and are mostly taking French to fulfill their high school World Language requirement. We offer Middle School and High School Levels 1‑6+ of French, and conversational and test/prep courses.

Our curriculum is ACTFL-aligned, and we do not use a textbook to teach the language. Instead, we rely on ACTFL Can‑Do Statements and real‑world communication contexts to guide the lessons. Our syllabi are designed to accommodate a textbook‑free context. We offer a Resource Library to guide instructors, but they are expected to create/use their own teaching materials. We follow Project‑Based Learning and don’t assess using quizzes, tests, or exams.

• Teach one‑on‑one online lessons using Microsoft Teams.
• Assign and correct homework assignments and projects.
• Track grades and students’ progress.
• Focus on student engagement and student success.
• Demonstrate genuine respect for all students.

• 1‑2+ years of experience teaching French (online and/or in a school setting).
• Native‑like language proficiency.
• Bachelor’s Degree.
• Familiarity with technology and Microsoft Office.
• Strong work ethic and interpersonal skills.
• US time zone (PST) with evening availability preferred.
