Become an Arqus Café tutor!

This semester we are celebrating the 10th edition of the Arqus Cafés. This anniversary edition will start on 10 March and will run until 30 May.

The call for tutors is open! If you would like to become part of the Arqus Cafés family as a tutor, register here. As always, all of the Arqus languages will be offered, but new languages are 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 on a weekly basis for one hour, selected tutors will be able to offer a session at a convenient time that fits their schedule.

The Arqus Cafés are informal sessions where students and staff can gather, either online or in person, to engage in language practice guided by native-level speaking tutors of the respective languages. With both digital 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.

Please, take into account that the 10th edition of the Arqus Café will start on 10 March 2025.
