Become an Unu Mondo Language & Integration Coach
Help people belong.
Be part of
revolutionising language
learning. It’s all about
human connection.
Are you also naturally someone who builds bridges, who is longing to be your authentic self at work, who thrives with freedom, wants to grow personally and enjoys supporting, yet also learning from other humans and their stories?
We are mainly located in Basel and Zurich, also in other major cities in Switzerland, as well as partially online.
The situation
International people in Switzerland often stay in their bubbles sometimes for years because they find it difficult to feel really at home here. One of the reasons is that conventional German classes help to pass an exam, yet not to live life.
It is usually an unnecessary grammar cramp, they learn things that are not applicable for their lives, get frustrated on the way and ultimately lack a sense of belonging or opportunities to be part of the society.
Your job
In private sessions, you teach your learners German or Swiss German in a natural and fun way: applied in real life, outside the classroom. With beginners, you go to the supermarket, to a restaurant, to the bakery, etc.
With advanced learners, you enjoy exciting activities or have conversations about your common passions and interests. You create a fully personalised language and integration experience.
You
- are an open and honest person
- have a capacity of min. five hours a week
- are highly reliable
- think outside the box
- actually care
- are native in German or Swiss German
- speak fluent English
- have a very high language affinity
- are patient, attentive and vital
- question conventional teaching methods
- know Swiss culture & traditions (not in detail)
- are a natural at teaching
- have lived abroad (big plus, not a must)
Ready?
Way more than just teaching language.
1 Apply now
The first step is to take time for the application form. We don’t need your fully detailed CV nor a conventional motivation letter. We have specific questions we ask, so we can get a feeling for who you are and whether we are a match.
2 Get trained
You don’t have to be a coach yet, you will be trained in the Unu Mondo method to become one. We foster an ongoing learning journey and a supportive environment. Everything we do at Unu Mondo is always applicable to other parts in life. If you want to continuously learn and grow, this is for you.
3 Become part of the community
Human connection is one of our main pillars at Unu Mondo. As you work fully independently with your coachees, we make sure everyone feels belongingness to the team. We have regular coach community calls, get togethers, trainings and simply moments of true connection. Yet the community also goes beyond just the coach team, and includes customers and just simply people who share the the same values or join our workshops & events.
4 Be the change
We are not only about learning the language in a more natural way, or helping others to belong. We want to set a tone for how things can be done differently – in a way that honors life.
