Online Spanish Instructor (Remote) Full Description

This is a remote online position. Spanish Instructors residing in any country are invited to apply.

LanguageBird is seeking passionate Spanish language instructors to join its team for the 2026-27 school year. LanguageBird offers Middle School and High School Spanish Levels 1-6+, as well as tutoring, conversational, and test-preparation courses. The curriculum is ACTFL-aligned and textbook-free.

Rather than relying on traditional textbooks, instructors use ACTFL Can-Do Statements and real-world communication contexts to guide instruction.
