Interesting about this job
The participants of the Taalhuis often have difficulties with Dutch language, maths or digital skills. You will help them with these. Working with inquisitive adults is fun! You are enormously important to the other person in improving his or her language and therefore also promote the participant's independence and self-confidence.
Together with the participant matched to you, you agree when you will meet, so you decide the time.
Beforehand, you will receive training on how to deal with the target group and how to approach the coaching. During the coaching, you can always contact your Language House coordinator.
Job tasks and duties
- You will independently accompany an individual participant in a Language House.
- Before coaching, you will receive an interesting four-day training. The training covers the following topics: target group and backgrounds, support in speaking skills, support in reading, support in writing.
- Learning materials are available in the Language Centre.
- You will be supervised by a Taalhuis coordinator.
- If you identify bottlenecks in the participant's trajectory, report this proactively to your Language House coordinator.
