About Teach First Deutschland

At Teach First Deutschland we believe that every child should be given the opportunity to fulfil their potential and become a successful member of our society, regardless of their social background. This is why we find and nurture leaders who commit to expanding opportunity for low-income students, beginning with a two-year commitment as TFD ‘Fellows’ at a public school: We recruit and train university graduates of various academic fields to work as so-called Fellows (i.e., teaching assistants) at schools in underprivileged neighborhoods. Teach First Deutschland-Fellows support students, especially at crucial junctions in the education system – pivotal to their future. Their impact in the classroom can shape the trajectory of the students' lives and further careers. As confidants and counsellors, Fellows go beyond traditional expectations to advance students’ academic and personal growth while helping to strengthen their schools.
