We've recently moved to France and are in the process of getting my son into a nursery but for the time being he's quite lonely and desperate to play with other children! He is a very kind, loving and playful little boy who loves toy cars and watching Ben and Holly.We live in Saint Raphael. If you live near by and have a child of a similar age who would like a play date please get in touch to arrange a meet up! All children welcome- boy or girl, french or english. Thank you!!

Hello everyone,My daughter, Amaya, is 15-yo and in need of some tutoring and coaching. She's in high school in Cannes, trilingual (she's Danish/American and French) happy with school, but in definite need of some help in our day-to-day lives. As my French is limited, I'm interested in finding a great tutor, someone with some gumption and someone who can help inspire, beyond just helping with homework. Any recommendations for agencies, tutors etc.? She/he must be fluent in both English and French, and focus will be on languages, math and also having fun.Many thanks for any ideas (including if this is the right place here to post this!;))Christopher

We are returning to Australia (Melbourne) from France in January next year and looking for a French Au Pair. There are four kids who are all at school so most help would be required outside of school hours. We would love you to speak French to the children as we want them to continue to practice their French. I will speak English to you during school hours and you are welcome to join an English group if you would like to. We are currently living in the south of France but leaving very soon. Please contact me if you would like to find out more.Many thanksDelia (delia_a8@yahoo.com.au)

Hi all, I am doing a little market reasearch. We are hoping to move over there next year and teenage son will go to Mougins school. I am a qualified and experienced Maths teacher from UK-(NI) I intend to offer my services as a Maths tutor to English speakers. Has anyone any knowledge of what's available in the area already? I know there is Carfax tutors which look as if they cost a bomb. I would hope to start spreading the word around Mougins school which does GCSE and A level but i could also teach Bacc Maths and could manage to teach in French too. Someone did post on here a while backing looking for a Maths tutor but I don't think they got a single reply. Any views out there? I can start my waiting list now if nec:-)) Oh and also what would be regarded as a good reasonable rate? Here tutors can be from £25 -£40 an hour depending on level and experience. What would you be prepared to pay? Merci à l'avance Marie  

We are returning to Australia after the best year ever in France. We would love to find a French au-pair who would like come and live with us in Australia for 6 months to a year, ideally starting in February next year. We are a family of 6 and we live in a beautiful Bayside suburb in Melbourne. The four children are all at school so help would be mostly required before and after school. Please message me delia_a8@yahoo.com.au if you would like to know more or if you would like to meet us while we are still in France, we are currently living near Grasse. Many thanksDelia

Hi We suspect our son has dyspraxia . Anybody else have a child with this learning difficulty .  He has just started at a new school in Nice. Would be great to get some tips or advice 

Hi there, We are planning to move to Mougins/valbonne in July next year.I would like to send my children to either 100% french school or bilingual. My quick visit to Ebica - I was not impressed with the building or facilities for the money they charge. I was interested in Haut Sartoux - the bilingual primary school - but the headteacher told me that i cannot have a tour of the school and that my children would have to take a test in both languages to get in - and I know they will fail the french test (and then she told me there is no guarantee for a place for my 7 year old). So that is a no go.I am now looking at the primaire Clement Rebuffet in Mougins or Daudet / Campouns in Valbonne.Does anyone have children at these schools? Are there english children there? Is the french system good? I am concerned that it is quite old fashioned and not nuturing etc.Mougins private school is an option, albeit an expensive one - but if they will enjoy it and thrive - and learn french in some way then I would entertain it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks,

hello i would like to find someone who can play with my son (6years) and my daughter ( 2years ) in english . I live in Pegomas and we're available between 16h to 19h monday, tuesday and thursday. teenagers are accepted ;) Best regards, Aurélia
