Trip overview

Do you want to have an authentic French experience in France’s most beautiful destinations? Living like a local and experiencing the REAL France? If you’re reading this in English then French families are looking for you! As an English tutor in France, you’ll participate in a cultural exchange living for free in a French family’s house, in return, they simply want for you to converse with them in English. Your duties will be limited to a cultural exchange leaving you with plenty of time to be able to explore France and surrounding countries. Form a close bond with both parents & children as you become an integral part of their family.

We offer the complete package for those wanting to kickstart their tutor journey, and most importantly, ensure you are matched with a safe and welcoming host family and home. Our team will get you sorted with all the essentials from finding an approved host family before you go, accommodation nights to use when you please, 24/7 support, and much more. You’ll be more than ready to begin your exciting overseas tutor adventure! Plus, regularly chat with your host family prior to taking off, so you’ll know all about them before you meet them face-to-face.

Completely immerse yourself in a new culture, make lifelong friends and, best of all, break away from your usual routine back home as you embark on an adventure to tutor internationally in Europe. With the freedom to explore the country’s natural beauty in your time off or paid trips with your host family, this experience is perfect for a first-time traveller or someone ready to experience a genuine, local French lifestyle.

Trip details

If you’re reading this, it means you have one of the most valuable skills around the world: an understanding of the English language. Although we probably take it for granted because it’s all we know, English is a very important tool for peoples' employment opportunities in foreign countries. Families are eager to give their children the best possible advantages in life as well as becoming more proficient themselves. Having a live-in English-speaking tutor means that families will be able to listen to and practice it in the privacy of their own home.


Our Tutor in France trip is designed to have you become a family member within your host family, which will allow you enough time off to truly utilise your time abroad. Our expert team offers assistance with all those essentials you need to get set up overseas, like finding the perfect host family and 24/7 support to live-in accommodation. Simply, we’re here to ensure your transition to living abroad in France is seamless.

You’ll arrive knowing that you’ve got an approved placement with an incredible pre-screened host family.

Get to know your new family and embrace the French lifestyle with open arms. Our expert team will guide you throughout the entire journey to ensure you feel confident knowing you are in the best hands possible.


With most of your living expenses covered, you can spend your travel budget exploring the beauty of France! You can tour the different landscapes and join your family on weekend getaways. If you’re looking for a trip that allows you the time and freedom to explore, this is it! Don’t waste your precious time sweating the logistical stuff. That’s exactly why we’re here - to save you time, money, stress and even the risk of having to return home early. Make your time count on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and prepare to immerse yourself in the laid back and relaxed culture, foster your personal growth and develop important life skills your future-self will thank you for!

Why should I book now?

Covid-19 threw us a curve ball and pretty much halted all travel. This means that we have a backlog of travellers, just like you, who are desperate to get out and explore the world! Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12 months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free.

As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better?

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!

But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join.

And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

What happens if COVID affects my trip?

If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.

If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.

Do I need to be vaccinated to book?

As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.

What happens if I want to cancel my trip?

Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.

In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!

*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
