Careers — German teacher jobs in Bochum (DaF)

Why teach at our Sprachschule Bochum

My German Dream Academy is an AZAV-certified language school in Bochum, Nordrhein-Westfalen, three minutes from Bochum Hbf at Kortumstr. 56. Our courses follow a documented pacing guide for each CEFR level (A1–C1), so you teach with structure and clear weekly milestones — not improvisation.

• Structured curriculum aligned with the Common European Framework (GER).
• Real progression: mini-tests every two weeks, written + oral exam at end of each level.
• In-person classroom in central Bochum and a digital platform for online groups.
• Eligible students often join via Bildungsgutschein or AVGS, so courses are well-funded and demand is steady.
• Supportive team — you are not alone with a textbook; we share materials, role-plays and assessment criteria.

Profiles we are looking for

DaF / DaZ teacher (A1–C1)

Qualified teachers of Deutsch als Fremdsprache with experience teaching adult international learners. We use Netzwerk Neu (Klett) as the main coursebook, but value your own materials too. Both freelance (Honorar) and employed (Festanstellung) tracks are open depending on availability.

telc-Prüfer / Examinerin

Certified telc examiners (B1, B2, C1, Hochschule, Pflege, Medizin) for our 4-week exam preparation programmes and the actual telc exam sessions we host. If you hold the telc trainer certificate, even better.

Fachsprachkurs Medizin / Pflege

German for medical professionals: doctors, nurses and Pflege candidates preparing the Fachsprachprüfung (FSP), Kenntnisprüfung Pflege, or telc Deutsch B2-C1 Medizin. Background in clinical communication, anamnesis, ISBAR hand-overs or pflegerische Dokumentation is a strong plus.

Online tutors

Native or near-native German with experience teaching online. We run mixed presence/online groups — comfort with breakout rooms, screen-share and digital writing tools is required.

What we offer

• Steady demand: AZAV-funded students, residents pipeline and medical professionals routes.
• Predictable scheduling: courses run in 8- and 12-week blocks (A1 / A2 = 8 weeks; B1 / B2 / C1 = 12 weeks). You see your calendar in advance.
• Materials and pacing: documented week-by-week plan per level. No starting from scratch.
• Bochum location: 3 minutes from Bochum Hauptbahnhof; reachable from across the Ruhrgebiet (Essen, Dortmund, Witten).
• Career growth: telc trainer certifications, Fachsprachkurs path, and senior-instructor / curriculum roles available as the school grows.
