Online Mandarin Instructor (Remote)

This is a remote online position. Mandarin instructors residing in any country are invited to apply. Who are we? We are a premier, accredited online language school seeking to expand our team of Mandarin language instructors for the upcoming school year (2026-2027) to teach high school and middle school Mandarin courses online. Our students are typically between the ages of 12 and 18 years old and are mostly taking Mandarin to fulfill their high school World Language requirement. We offer Middle School and High School Levels 1-6+ of Mandarin, and conversational and test/prep courses. Our curriculum is ACTFL-aligned, and we do not use a textbook to teach the language. Instead, we rely on ACTFL Can-Do Statements and real-world communication contexts to guide the lessons. Our syllabi are designed to accommodate a textbook-free context. We offer a Resource Library to guide instructors, but they are expected to create/use their own teaching materials. We follow Project-Based Learning and do not assess using quizzes, tests, or exams. If you are creative, familiar with online teaching, student-centered, and enjoy teaching Mandarin as a World Language, you will fit right in! Responsibilities Teach one-on-one online lessons using Microsoft Teams. Assign and correct homework assignments and projects. Track grades and students’ progress. Focus on student engagement and student success. Demonstrate genuine respect for all students. Requirements 1-2+ years of experience teaching Mandarin (online and/or in a school setting). Native-like language proficiency. A Bachelor's Degree. Familiarity with technology and Microsoft Office. Strong work ethic and interpersonal skills. US time zone (PST) with evening availability preferred. Job Type: Contract LanguageBird is an equal-opportunity employer. LanguageBird does not sponsor US work visas. Teachers are either given an international contract while residing outside of the US or a US-based contract for those with permission to legally work in the US. Hourly rates are determined by teaching experience, education, and other experience applicable to the role. I understand and accept that if I am invited to teach at LanguageBird, my photo and biography will be displayed on LanguageBird's website. #J-18808-Ljbffr LanguageBird
