Become an Arqus Café tutor!

The call for tutors is open again for the 11th edition of the Arqus Cafés that will run from 6 October to 12 December! If you would like to become part of the Arqus Cafés family as a tutor, register here. All Arqus languages will be offered, but new languages are also welcome.

Tutors support and guide the conversation in their first or native language and encourage the participants in their learning. The Arqus Café tutors are provided with training, guidelines, topics, and strategies for leading the sessions, and in many cases, there are two tutors per language working together. The cafés take place every week for one hour, and the tutors selected will be able to offer their café at a convenient time that fits their schedule.

The Arqus Cafés are informal sessions where students and staff can gather to engage in language practice guided by native-level speaking tutors of the respective languages. With both online and in-person formats, the cafés offer participants a relaxed environment to develop their language skills and broaden cultural understanding without the pressures normally found in teacher-led classroom lessons. The cafés began in the spring of 2020 as a digital initiative and quickly grew in popularity among the Alliance’s member universities. Today, the cafés remain one of Arqus’ most successful activities and provide participants with both cultural exchange and a chance to connect on a personal level.

The 11th edition of the Arqus Café will start on 6 October 2025!
