About the role

German is the most-spoken native language in Europe and a key language for business, engineering, and academia. Students learn the four cases, conversational basics, written grammar, and exam preparation for Goethe-Institut certification. Our German classes in Dubai serve ages 8+, online or at our Karama studio.

We are launching German at Melody Makers and you would be the founding teacher for it. Melody Makers is a Trinity College London registered music and fine arts school, established in Dubai in 1997, now expanding its online faculty worldwide. This is a part-time contractor role: teach online from anywhere, with optional in-person classes at our Al Karama studio in Dubai.

What you will do

  • Teach weekly 1-on-1 and small-group sessions (max 4 students), online or at our Dubai studio
  • Plan lessons balancing fluency, confidence and structured curriculum progression
  • Prepare students for recognised certifications where applicable
  • Track attendance and progress in our scheduling tools, with quarterly parent updates
  • Adapt materials for kids, teens and adult learners

What we offer

  • Students supplied: we handle marketing, SEO, ads and free trials — you teach, we fill your calendar
  • Monthly payouts in AED, USD or USDT — no chasing parents for fees
  • Registered Trinity College London exam centre + ABGMVM grades for your students
  • Modern scheduling tools: classroom links, attendance, rescheduling, automated reminders
  • A multinational faculty of 20+ teachers, established in Dubai since 1997
  • Non-exclusive: keep teaching independently or with other schools

Requirements

  • Proven teaching experience with strong student outcomes (degree or graded certification is a plus, not required)
  • For online: reliable internet, laptop with webcam, good lighting and your own instrument/equipment
  • Availability that overlaps student demand (peak: 3pm-10pm UAE weekdays, 9am-8pm UAE weekends) — other hours also work
  • For in-person Dubai roles: UAE residence usually required; online roles need no UAE visa
