Come teach at the #1 Coding School in the World

Le Wagon is a global leader in immersive tech training. Founded in Paris in 2013, Le Wagon has campuses in 40+ cities across 25+ countries, including global tech hubs such as London, Berlin, Shanghai, Dubai, Lisbon, and Barcelona. Most importantly, Le Wagon is a community of 25,000+ graduates from all walks of life, including career changers, digital nomads, and many entrepreneurs - who’ve created 220+ tech startups and raised $1B+ and counting!

Our mission is to train people from all backgrounds in coding, data, and product skills, give them the best learning experience of their lives, and help them accelerate their careers. Our programs cover:

  • Web Development

  • Data Science & AI

  • Data Analytics

  • Data Engineering

  • Growth Marketing


What does teaching look like?

You will be the owner of the day - explaining the key concepts through the content provided by Le Wagon and also leading the team of Teaching Assistants supporting you throughout the day.

Together you will lead a group of students of varying skill levels, which requires excellent communication skills and empathy. Although the exact daily flow and tasks may vary, these are the tasks you will be responsible for during a typical day:

  • Prepare thoroughly for the teaching day with the help of our slides, videos, and challenges

  • Deliver the morning lecture based on the content provided by Le Wagon

  • Ensure a great learning atmosphere while coaching and checking in on students

  • Manage and support the teaching team during the day

  • Run engaging live coding sessions at the end of the day

  • Report to and liaise with Le Wagon Staff whenever needed 


Why teach with us?

  • Be part of solving one of the biggest challenges in education - with a focus on hands-on learning, constant feedback, and applying knowledge to real-world problems, we bring people from 0 to entry-level jobs in tech in as little as 9 weeks.

  • Contribute with your knowledge, make a long-lasting impact, and build great relationships - as a teacher at Le Wagon, you can shape the minds and skills of the next wave of fellow tech professionals; you will meet highly-skilled peers who will most likely become your friends too.

  • Gain leadership and mentorship experience - if you wish to take on a managerial or leadership role in the future, working as a teacher can help you develop lots of core skills needed, from clear communication to coaching people as they develop their projects.

  • Be part of a vibrant global community - you can work in more than 40 locations around the world and also remotely; working as a teacher is a great side gig, but our global community is posting jobs, projects, and freelance missions continuously.
