Who Teaches at the vhs
Our instructors come from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds: freelance trainers, retired teachers, artists, coaches and experts from academia, business, public administration, healthcare and many other fields. Some simply have valuable skills and experience they would like to share with others.
What matters most is not a perfect CV. It’s expertise, openness, enthusiasm, and a genuine enjoyment of working with people.
Requirements
- Professional expertise or relevant work experience
- A passion for teaching and sharing knowledge
- A willingness to collaborate
- No teaching qualification required (though a sense of humour certainly helps)
- A commitment to the values of adult education centres
What You Can Expect
- Motivated learners who are genuinely eager to learn
- Flexible teaching opportunities that fit your schedule
- Freedom to bring in your own ideas, even the unusual ones
- A reliable and supportive team
- Collaboration and exchange among peers
- The rewarding moment when a learner says:
„Danke – jetzt habe ich es verstanden.“Thank you. Now I understand.“
We value your contribution. Whether you teach as a freelance instructor, volunteer your time or join us as an employee, you can expect a supportive partnership and fair remuneration based on your role and contractual terms.
