Your Own Teaching Business in France
Your own teaching business in France
Yes, it is possible!
Are you fed up of low wages?
Are you running from place to place teaching for a training company, but earning less than the minimum wage?
Would you like to set up your own business, but you have no idea where to start?
I have grown my own training company, going from being a freelance teacher in Paris in 2011, to moving to the South of France and now working with numerous companies, delivering CPF training and having clients all over France, with around 10 fantastic teachers on my team.
I'll help you get more students, market your business and understand Qualiopi and the CPF system.

About Me
Hi, I'm Catherine Aygen, owner of A Star Formation, a company specialising in international communication and business English training for French companies and professionals. I started my company in 2016 and it has grown exponentially since then. I am now lucky enough to have several corporate clients, as well as a lot of individual CPF clients and I work with a fantastic small team of teachers. I'm also doing more and more communication skills coaching.
I understand what it's like to be frustrated with vacataire work or low-paid language schools, and to wonder how to make your own business work in France. That's why I'd like to help as many of you as possible navigate the market in France and be successful!
