Job description

This is a freelance/self-employed tutor role.

You will teach Spanish following the Kidslingo programmes and lesson plans. The classes are very fun, using an action-packed combination of songs, drama, movement, games, Makaton signs, actions, role play and stories. All lesson plans are provided for you to follow, but you would need to do some preparation.

We are primarily looking for tutors who are available in the after school slot for 1 hour (approximately between 2:45-4:30pm) on weekdays (all or some of Monday to Friday). This will be to teach Spanish in extra-curricular Spanish clubs in primary schools and may also include some private lessons and classes in nurseries/pre-schools. The hours of work are term-time only.

There may be further opportunities to teach Kidslingo Spanish lessons at other times in the future – during school hours or at weekends. If you wish to cover these times and weekends.

The rates of pay are variable depending upon the duration of each class. It is £27 per hour (or pro rata).

• The position is likely to begin with 2-4 hours per week, fitting around your own availability, with scope to work more hours (if you would like to) as demand builds. We have schools on the waiting list.
• Available to run in-person classes in any of the specified areas (Teignbridge, South Hams and Torbay) We always make sure you are not too far away from the classes.
