A native German teacher leading a class of international students at Medlingua Academy in Berlin

Why teach here

A small school built around teaching, not administration.

  1. 01

    Small school, real impact

    Class sizes capped, cohorts you actually know, students whose Approbation depends on the work — your teaching shapes a career, not a metric.

  2. 02

    Berlin or fully remote

    Work from our campus in Pappelallee, fully online, or a mix. We trust you to teach where it works best for you and your students.

  3. 03

    A specialist team

    You will work alongside experienced DaF teachers, FSP-experienced physicians, and a school that understands the work — without the corporate friction.

  4. 04

    Fair, transparent pay

    Clear rates, prompt payment, and salaried contracts available for the right teachers. We pay properly because we expect properly.
