Teaching English in France is increasingly appealing for anglophones aiming to supplement their income. Despite the rising proficiency of French speakers, opportunities for learners remain plentiful. Though many may offer lessons informally, it's essential to navigate the legal landscape correctly. Teaching as a side hustle requires registration as a business or self-employed person, and income must be declared to tax authorities. Opting for proper classification ensures compliance, avoiding potential legal issues, especially if you provide lessons as a domestic service within households.
While it is very common to be paid 'under the table' for English lessons, be aware that this is technically illegal. Anyone teaching English as a side-hustle needs to register themselves as a business or self-employed, and declare all income from teaching to the tax authorities.
If you want to keep everything above the board, be aware that occasionally giving English lessons (soutien scolaire) would be classified as a person-to-person 'domestic' service.
