France

Overview

The Cultural Exchange Project (formerly The GeoVisions Foundation) offers an incredible opportunity to immerse yourself in French culture, learn the language, and savor delicious French cuisine for 3 months by becoming an English tutor at a local school. You'll have the chance to live like a local with a carefully selected host family, whose children attend the school where you'll be tutoring English. By tutoring students and assisting teachers in conversational English for up to 15 hours a week, you'll become an integral part of the community. The rest of your time is yours to explore your new surroundings and connect with the friendly locals.
