The role of the French Teacher
As a French Teacher, you’ll be an ambassador for our values and a gatekeeper for our vibrant culture. 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. As a language enthusiast, you'll teach songs, rhymes, and read stories, enriching language, social, and physical development through varied activities.
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 ensure that you provide the best and most enriching learning experience and step into the Nursery Educator role when not teaching French lessons. An ability to effectively communicate with parents, children, and colleagues will aid us in delivering the best experience possible.
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.
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.
