It depends where you want to live really. I imagine roughly between 400 and 800 euro a month depending on the age of the flat and desirability of the are in which you want to live. Expect to pay a couple of months up front. I suggest checking out Leboncoin.fr or Paravendu.fr for a better idea. Normally one bedroom flats are referred to as F2 or T2, which means one bedroom plus living space. Few flats are pre-furnished though, which is another consideration.

me and my partner are considering a move to grenoble to teach english. Just wondering, roughly how much is rent for a small house/1 bedroom flat?

thanks in advance

You could try a ’soutien scolaire’ company. There was some info on this here:

Also Les Petits Bilingues sometimes outsource private tuition for teenagers so it’d be worth getting in touch with them.

Otherwise putting an ad in your local shop windows could be a good idea.

Thanks for your help once again. I will try to get my hands on a TEFL certificate and will apply in the new year. Good to know that they are looking for teachers in Grenoble, might be a good career change.

While teaching experience is obviously a big advantage – I know people who were recruited without it. Doing a TEFL of some description (preferably one with practical experience) would be recommended as at least it would give you basic skills you will need; but it’s not always insisted upon.

I think the best thing is to try as many schools as possible, but preferably when you are alreay in the country and ready to work straight away.

Thanks for all this info. Ive just moved to Grenoble and married a short time ago to a francaise ! I worked last winter and will be working this upcoming winter as well but Im looking for more stable and permanent work.

I dont have any teaching experience, but have a degree in bus. mgt. Do you know if its still possible to obtain a teaching job or where i can go to become a teacher?

Any help is appreciated !
