Being a student can be great fun, but it can also get pretty costly! Most students will need to have a part-time job alongside their studies to cover their bills, but this will usually require some flexibility which can sometimes be difficult to spot in a job.
Because of this, this piece will look at some great jobs for language students that they can do alongside their learning to gain some valuable skills related to their subject and get some money in the bank.
Read on to find out more.
Tutor
If you are as good at teaching as you are at learning, then becoming a tutor in your spare time could work well as a part-time gig. You will be able to set your own work hours (to a certain extent) and take on as much or as little as you need. It also gives you a chance to practice languages too – a win-win!
It is up to you what ages and languages you choose to teach, but remember that this kind of gig usually has to work around school and work hours.
Bilingual Nanny
There are many people that move to the UK from different countries for whatever reason and who also need childcare, which is why there are often job spaces available for bilingual nannies. There are many reasons why someone might want to hire a bilingual nanny. Maybe the parents need someone who can speak in their native language, or perhaps they want someone to help their kid practice to be bilingual in a casual manner. If you like being around children, are good at care, and want to implement your language skills into a role that has some different things going on, then looking into French Nanny in London opportunities could be right up your street.
There are plenty of positions available, so you can match your time and energy to the right role.
Freelance Translator
Being able to work freelance is an excellent income that works around everything you need to do as a language student. It also gives you a chance to keep practicing languages and sometimes learn about some cool stuff while you do it.
Freelance translators can translate literally anything, so it is luck of the draw where you find the work as to what you translate. Just make sure to go to trusted sites to find work available, and make sure the pay is fair.
Teach English Abroad
If you are wondering what to do with yourself when your school is out for the summer, going abroad for a couple of months to teach English could be an excellent choice. Not only does it get you into a different environment and allow you to experience new things, but you can also improve and advance your language skills with the locals too, which is well worthwhile.
If you are a language student looking to earn extra money around your studies, then the job ideas listed in this post could be perfect for you.
