Hello English Teaching Artists,
We are currently building our Teaching Artist team to teach our creative curriculums. We are working all over Germany and expanding into other EU countries including Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. We are recruiting native level English speakers living in the EU with previous teaching experience, that have the ability to invoice and work in a freelance capacity.
Our non-profit organisation offers in-school workshops, class trips and camps for students in grades 1-13, offering English instruction through cultural exchange, play and creative activities that run from one day to a whole week. We are looking for dynamic facilitators that can teach our programs, so if you have experience in areas such as film, dance, theatre, singing, creative writing, or have a unique hobby please highlight this along with your English teaching experience in your application.

What kind of work is this?
This is a freelance, contract-based position. Once you’ve completed onboarding and training, submitted your availability, and finalised your Teaching Artist (TA) registration, we’ll email you work orders. You can accept or decline each assignment, and once you accept, you’ll be scheduled for that week’s project.

90% of InterACT English's programs are outside of bigger cities. Please keep in mind that your availability has to come with the availability to travel. It is also mandatory that our Teaching Artists are at the location before the program starts (ie: If the program goes from Monday to Friday, you will arrive at the location on Sunday, teach through the week and leave on Friday after the program is over.)

Absolutely! This includes: onboarding, access to resource knowledge base, and occasional voluntary training workshops which you can apply to increase your pay level.
