Virtual Swiss German Instructor

LTC Language Solutions is seeking a Swiss German instructor for virtual, one-on-one tutoring. We are a language service provider specializing in language and cultural training for relocating expats. We have an adult student based in New Jersey who is currently studying Standard German and would like to improve her conversational skills and understanding of Swiss German, particularly as spoken in the Bern region.

• Language Class: German (A1–A2 level), with an emphasis on conversation and understanding Swiss German. The student is not looking to learn the Bernese dialect specifically but would like greater exposure to Swiss German.
• Location: Virtual (online lessons)
• Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 1 hour per session, preferably after 10:00 a.m. ET (approximately 4:00 p.m. Central European time). Some flexibility is available.
• Start: As soon as possible
• Duration: 3 hours per week, ongoing
• Requirements: German instructor familiar with Swiss German, preferably the Bern region, with 2+ years of experience teaching adults.
• Compensation: Negotiable
• Curriculum: Based on student goals, with an emphasis on conversational fluency, listening comprehension, and practical communication. If textbooks are needed, LTC will cover the cost. The instructor is expected to supplement lessons with authentic materials and interactive activities.

Qualified candidates will be contacted for an online interview. We look forward to hearing from you!
