ABOUT US
Founded in 2011, FluentU is an online education company that has been distributed/remote since day one. We help people learn languages with real-world videos, including movie trailers, music videos, news and inspiring talks. We have a popular website, iOS app, and Android app. We’re a profitable, stable, and growing company with long-term focus, and we’re proudly self-funded.
This is a unique opportunity to be at the ground floor of our live classes, which is still in the early stages.
WHAT THIS JOB IS ABOUT
We are looking for a part-time (or full-time) teacher to teach live group and one-on-one French classes.
- The course curriculum would be specified in advance.
- You would be fully paid for any prep or follow up time.
- In times when there is no class scheduled (or when there are cancellations), there is the possibility of potentially getting paid for doing other non-class work (eg. creating content). This would depend on your skill/efficiency with doing that non-class work.

- Most things are not urgent. We take pride in having a calm work environment.
- We also have a flat collaborative environment.
- We make decisions based on logic/reason.
- We believe in getting things done, candor, and continuous improvement.
Our ideal candidate:
