M2fate: Move to France and teach english
Ready to move to France and Teach a Language?
If you have a university degree and a basic understanding of French, moving to France is a lot easier than you might think. I’m here to help guide you through it.
About Me
Hi! I'm Alex.
Hi there! My name is Alex V. Woods, and I’m an American ESL teacher who has taught English for 14 years. In 2018, I moved to France with my wife Helena – just two Americans who’ve always had a dream to move abroad.
We wanted to live in a place that prioritized a balanced work-life mentality, find a more affordable healthcare system, and escape some of the more divisive politics of the U.S.
For eight years, I taught English to students in different Universities across France. I combined my language skills (I’m fluent in four languages) and cultural understanding to guide those who also dream of living in France, whether it be for one year or indefinitely!
