Teach With Us | Neurons & Croissants

The Opportunity

We're launching in January 2026 with our first cohort of professionals learning French for Canadian permanent residency. We need exceptional French instructors who want to be part of something meaningful.

This isn't traditional language teaching. We've built an AI-powered system that personalizes learning to each student's mistakes. You'll teach using cutting-edge pedagogy backed by neuroscience research. Your students aren't tourists—they're engineers, consultants, and healthcare workers who need French to contribute to Canada.

The impact is real: Every student you teach could become a permanent resident, bring their family, and build a life here. You're not just teaching grammar. You're unlocking futures.
