Online Swedish Teacher (Remote, Freelance)

You love teaching Swedish. You don't love what comes with it.

You know the moment a learner stops translating in their head and just speaks. That's why you teach. But in a lot of adult-education roles, that moment is buried under large classes, marking, reporting and lesson prep that eats your evenings. If you want more of the teaching and less of everything else, read on.

There's a simpler way to teach Swedish online

The Really Great Teacher Company is recruiting online Swedish teachers to work with corporate learners: professionals whose employers provide Swedish lessons as a workplace perk or as part of their job requirements. Some need Business Swedish for meetings and emails. Some want solid general Swedish. Many just want the confidence to speak up. You'll teach live, one-to-one or small-group online classes. We provide the platform and the materials. You bring the conversation, the culture and the encouragement.

What's In It For You?

• USD 16 per teaching hour. A clear, fixed rate paid per class taught, as a freelancer. Classes are booked by learners, so your hours aren't guaranteed. That makes this a strong fit as extra income alongside your main role.
• 100% remote online teaching. Teach from home or anywhere in the EU. No commute, no classroom.
• A specialisation worth building. Corporate and Business Swedish is a niche. Experience teaching professionals strengthens your CV for adult education, corporate training and university work.
• Free professional development through Inspire Academy. Access teacher training courses and resources at no cost while you teach with us.
• Structured onboarding and dedicated support. You'll be onboarded step by step and have a real person to contact when you need help.
• Community through the Evolve Program. Connect with fellow online teachers, share ideas and grow alongside a supportive network.
• Motivated adult learners. No marking piles and no parents' evenings. Your learners show up because they want to progress.
