The Teaching Assistant Program in France (TAPIF) is one of Villa Albertine's longest-running and most sought-after programs. Each year, TAPIF places around 1,200 Americans into French public schools to work as English language teaching assistants for up to 12 hours a week, for a seven-month contract from October 1 to April 30. TAPIF works with France Éducation international (FEI) to place language assistants in classrooms of all ages across metropolitan France and the overseas departments (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and La Réunion). Contracts can be renewed, and participants may take part up to three times.
