- Hey guys my same is Sean Bouland
and I'm an English teacher here in Nice, France.
And I'm gonna show you what life is like
here in the beautiful Cote d'Azur
First thing up this morning is a little run
on the promenade, usually I go to the gym.
I have a gym membership here in Nice,
but I decided to look good today,
so I go for a little run this morning
before I get ready for work.
Hey guys, so just finished my run
and I'm coolin' down real fast.
And I thought while I'm coolin' down
why not show you my apartment, so here you go.
So here we got the dining room, kitchen and living room.
We got a pretty big kitchen,
with dishwasher, pretty much everything.
It's not normal to have this big a kitchen in France.
Then we got here, we got the dining room.
We got the dining room and the living room,
with the full size bar.
I don't know how, but it was there so we'll take it.
And then out here we got the terrace,
with a beautiful view to have your coffee in the morning.
So walking out the kitchen we have
the bathroom right there.
And then we go down the hall,
and we have my closet which
has all my clothes and my bike.
Then we go down the hall one more time
to my room, here's my bed.
My little desk.
And my little view of Nice, France.

- Hey guys so 'bout to head out for the day,
but before I did I thought
I'd tell you little 'bout myself.
So obviously my name is Sean Bouland,
and I'm originally from Phoenix, Arizona,
where I was born and raised.
Went to school at a place called
Dallas Baptist University, in Dallas, Texas,
where I studied sociology
and played collegiate soccer there.
Worked in the corporate world for about six months,
wasn't the life-style for me so I decided
to get my TEFL Certificate and move to France,
and I've been here for about 10 months.
I didn't have a job when I came to France,
so I worked for four months as a server.
And after that I found my current company
on Indeed, called GroupeSET,
and I am a private English tutor
for a business professionals
for about 40 hours a week.
Besides being an English teacher,
I am also an invigilator, or proctor for Cambridge exams.
And I also deliver food on my bike
for Uber Eats just for fun.
But, mainly I'm an English teacher.
Heading out for a full day today,
I have three in-person classes, one Skype class,
and then afterwards I'm gonna meet my friends
for some drinks at the beach later today,
so should be a good day.
Make some money.
As far as visas go,
I actually don't have a visa.
I'm a dual-citizen, so I have
both French and American citizenship thanks to my father.
So I work here on my French passport.
So I cheat a little bit.
- Hi, I'm Marie, I'm from Nice, France
and I want to speak, learn English
to speak with the
owner-occupier when I travel.
(person hoots and hollers loudly)
- Hey guys, so just finished up with my first class
and have a little break for lunch.
And I thought I'd answer some of your questions,
so here we go.
A lot of you guys had questions about the job market.
So teaching English in France is very doable,
there's a big need.
Because of tourism, so basically everyone in Nice
for example needs to speak English.
When I worked at the restaurant
that was a main requirement.
And as far as, you know, making an income
I'm able to save some money
because I work a decent amount of hours,
and I work pretty hard but you can work less hours
and still make enough money to break even for sure.
There are also plenty of companies looking to hire.
You can work for multiple companies
if you choose to do so.
And really make your own schedule
and make your own hours.
And so I work mostly evenings and I love it.
I love having the mornings free.
Great question, so yeah, I definitely
get to travel because I'm my own boss,
I can kinda fix my schedule to take a long weekend.
And, for example, I'm about to take
a month off to go travel to seven different countries
with a friend of mine.
So yeah, definitely possible, and highly recommended.
- Hi, I'm Elodie,
I'm from France and I want to learn English
because it is for useful to travel
and in a professional way, very important
to speak English today.
