Who we are:

At Taalhuis Amsterdam we offer Greek, Arabic, Turkish, Italian, Spanish, French, Farsi, Hebrew and Dutch language courses for adults and children who want to learn a second language and want to deepen their knowledge about the language, literature, backgrounds, and culture. We are committed to guiding students along this path. In our school, you’ll find courses in which originality, authenticity, flexibility and fun are central elements. Everything we do originates from a deep love for language. To help our students in this process we follow several didactic pointers:

• a communicative and interactive method in the classes and class material
• use of target language (from class 1)
• a relaxed atmosphere in the class, where mistakes can (should) be made and where students can have a laugh

What we offer:

• a multicultural, international, stimulating working environment in a team of approximately 60 teachers and office staff
• possibility to join language courses as a student
• freelance or contract position for approximately 20 hours per week
