About the Teaching Position

Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School in Asokoro, Abuja, is seeking a French Teacher to join its academic team.

The position is suited to an educator with strong French-language knowledge who can create engaging lessons, communicate effectively with students and maintain a positive classroom environment.

The school is looking for a teacher who can support academic achievement while also contributing to students’ wider development. The vacancy places particular emphasis on student-centred teaching, modern learning methods, teamwork and continued professional development.

About Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School

Divine Mercy Primary & Secondary School is located in Asokoro, Abuja. The vacancy describes the institution as a co-educational school offering day and boarding options.

Applicants should pay particular attention to the school’s stated requirements for teaching qualifications, TRCN certification, NYSC documentation and the ability to deliver student-centred lessons.

What the School Is Looking For

The ideal candidate should demonstrate:

• Strong knowledge of French and a genuine interest in teaching.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Effective classroom-management abilities.
• The ability to create engaging, student-centred lessons.
• Familiarity with modern teaching strategies and digital learning tools.
• Commitment to academic excellence and students’ character development.
• A willingness to work collaboratively with colleagues.
• Interest in continuous professional development and teaching innovation.

Minimum Qualifications and Requirements

Applicants should have an appropriate qualification in a relevant field, such as:

• NCE, B.Ed., BA/BSc or an equivalent qualification.
• PGDE, where applicable.
• TRCN certification — mandatory.
• NYSC Discharge or Exemption Certificate.

The vacancy does not provide a specific number of years of required teaching experience. Applicants should therefore focus on demonstrating their relevant academic background, teaching credentials and practical classroom abilities.

What Makes a Strong French Teacher?

Language teaching requires more than knowledge of vocabulary and grammar. Students need opportunities to listen, speak, read and write in ways that make the language practical and understandable.

A strong French teacher should be able to explain language concepts clearly and create classroom activities that encourage students to participate. Depending on the students’ level, this may include conversations, reading exercises, written work, pronunciation practice and other interactive activities.

Good classroom management is also important. Students learn more effectively when lessons are organised, expectations are clear and they feel comfortable participating.

Using Modern Teaching Methods

The vacancy specifically mentions modern teaching strategies and digital learning tools.

Applicants who have experience using presentations, educational platforms, digital resources, multimedia materials or other appropriate technology should consider including that experience in their CV.

The important point is not simply to list technology skills, but to explain how those tools have supported teaching and learning where relevant.

Supporting Students’ Development

The school also highlights academic excellence, character formation, teamwork and continuous professional development.

For teachers, this means the role extends beyond delivering subject content. Where applicable, candidates can highlight experience supporting students, working with fellow teachers, participating in school activities or contributing to a positive learning environment.

A willingness to continue improving teaching practice can also be valuable, particularly in a language subject where teaching approaches and learning resources continue to evolve.

How to Prepare Your CV

Before applying, make sure your CV clearly presents your qualifications and teaching experience.

Include:

• Your relevant French or education qualification.
• NCE, B.Ed., BA/BSc or equivalent credentials.
• PGDE, where applicable.

• Previous teaching experience, where applicable.
• Classes or age groups you have taught.
• French-language teaching responsibilities.
• Classroom-management experience.
