Work near you, without asking every school one by one.
Exam supervision and cover teaching from language schools across Germany, plus teaching jobs and course openings from other providers — filter by distance and pay, apply in one click, and take it with you in the app.
What you get
Find exams near you — or online
Enter a place, pick a radius, filter by exam type and minimum pay. Results are split into "Near you" and "Online": online exams and courses are tied to no location and can be taken on from anywhere. Every posting shows the date, the pay and whether travel is covered — before you apply.
Courses and cover teaching too
Besides single exams there is cover teaching over a date range, with a weekly schedule, level, and pay per unit or per hour — for regular teaching rather than one-off dates. Below them are courses for which adult-education centres and language schools look for teachers on their own websites — marked "External", including ongoing calls with no fixed course date.
Teaching jobs from across Germany
Under "Jobs" you find teaching jobs for German, integration and vocational language courses from the Federal Employment Agency’s job board — updated daily, employed or freelance, filtered by radius, working time and course type. Each job shows the logo of its source; you apply directly with the employer.
Track your applications
Every application and its status in one place: pending, accepted, declined. Messages from the school hang off the application they belong to.
Saved searches instead of checking back
Save a search in one tap — for exams, courses or jobs, with place, radius and your filters — and get told the moment something matching appears, even at short notice. Online listings too, if you want them: they belong to no radius at all.
Miss nothing
Notifications for new matching postings, replies from schools, and decisions on your applications — in the browser and as push in the app.
Look a school up first
Every school has a profile with its locations and reviews from examiners who worked there — so you know what you are agreeing to before you say yes.
New jobs near you arrive as a push notification.
With the app for iPhone and Android, you find exams, courses and teaching jobs, apply with one tap and hear the moment the school decides.

Common questions
Anything else? Write to us.
Does it cost me anything?
No. It is free for examiners and teachers.
How does my profile get "Reviewed"?
Upload your examiner licences or teaching qualifications on your profile; we review them and approve the profile. You can apply once it is approved.
Who pays me?
The school, directly. Sprachschulwerk makes the introduction and is not part of the transaction — you agree the rate and payment terms with the school and invoice it yourself. Many listings state their payment terms up front; for online work, settle the fee, payment deadline and platform in the chat before the first session.
Do I need the app?
No, the website is enough. The iPhone and Android app is handy if you want to search or reply to messages while out.
Is there work that involves no travel?
Yes. Online exams and online courses sit under "Online" in search, separate from the results near you. They are tied to no location, need no place entered, and can be taken on from anywhere. Your saved searches can notify you about them too, if you want.
What does "External" mean?
The entry was not posted on Sprachschulwerk: it is a teaching job from the Federal Employment Agency’s job board, or a course for which an adult-education centre or language school is looking for teachers on its own website. We summarise the public ad and show the logo of its source; the details there are what count. You apply directly with the provider, and they decide. "Ongoing call" means the provider is regularly looking for teachers rather than staffing one specific course.
