You will be fluent in Dutch and English, and will have (or be close to completing) a postgraduate qualification, with experience of teaching at undergraduate and/or Masters level, excellent interpersonal skills, and awareness of the challenges faced by language learners. In addition you will have extensive knowledge and understanding of Dutch culture, and be computer literate, with a willingness to engage in the use of ICT for teaching and learning.
