Wanted: Greek Teacher

We are looking for a Greek teacher who believes that learning Greek is not only about words, but about belonging, dignity, and the courage to rebuild a life. You will join our all-female team in Athens to teach beginner and intermediate Greek to women from refugee, migrant, and undocumented backgrounds, and create and hold a trauma-informed classroom where language becomes healing, connection, and empowerment.

Classes take place four days per week in small groups (max 10 students). Lessons are interactive and rooted in daily life.
