TRAIN THE TRAINER: FRENCH LANGUAGE COURSE

Turn Your French Knowledge into a Successful Teaching Business

Do you speak French and want to teach it professionally, but you don’t know where to start?

Knowing French and knowing how to teach French are two different things.

You may speak French fluently, understand French grammar, or have experience helping people learn the language. However, building a successful French teaching business requires more than language skills. You need to know how to plan lessons, organise your courses, attract students, manage your schedule, set your fees, and deliver lessons that keep students coming back.

The Train the Trainer: French Language Course is designed to help you develop these essential skills and approach French teaching with greater confidence, structure, and professionalism.

Through 20 practical modules, you will learn how to organise your teaching activities, develop your own teaching style, make informed business decisions, and create a learning experience that meets your students’ needs.

This is more than a course about teaching French. It is a guide to building and managing your French teaching activity.

This course is ideal for:

• French speakers who want to start teaching French but don’t know how to begin.

What Will You Learn? Your 20 Modules

Module 1: Identify Your Teaching Niche

Learn how to identify the type of students you want to teach and the services you want to offer. Explore different possibilities, including conversational French, beginner French, exam preparation, professional French, and French for specific purposes.

A clear niche helps potential students understand what you offer and why they should choose you.

Explore the different needs of adult learners and younger students. Consider attention spans, motivation, learning objectives, activities, and communication styles when deciding whom you want to teach.

Module 9: Decide Whether to Offer Exam Preparation

Module 13: Distribute Your Effort Wisely

Learn how to balance lesson preparation, teaching, student communication, promotion, and administration. Develop a more organised approach to your workload instead of spending all your time on one aspect of your business.

Learn to think carefully about your pricing. Consider preparation time, teaching hours, the class format, student numbers, and the value of your services when deciding what to charge.

Module 18: Understand Your Competition

Learn how to study other French teachers without simply copying them or entering a price war. Identify opportunities to differentiate your services through your niche, teaching approach, course structure, and student experience.
