Job description
Spanish Exploradores is expanding its teaching team in the Plymouth Meeting area and is looking for part-time Spanish instructors who enjoy helping children learn through active, creative experiences.
Our classes are designed to get children involved from the moment they walk in. Teachers use Spanish while leading games, songs, movement activities, stories, crafts, and conversation that encourage students to understand and use the language.
If you’re a fluent Spanish speaker who enjoys working with children and wants a flexible part-time teaching opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
Our Approach to Spanish Education
Spanish Exploradores uses an immersion-based, activity-driven model. Rather than asking young learners to memorize large amounts of vocabulary, we introduce language within activities and everyday classroom interactions.
The result is a classroom where students are moving, talking, listening, creating, and having fun while being exposed to Spanish.
Available Teaching Programs
Instructors may have the opportunity to teach one or more of the following:
Baby & Me Spanish
For children approximately 9 months–4 years, with morning and weekend opportunities.
Preschool Spanish
For children ages 2–6 during the school day.

Assignments vary throughout the year based on program enrollment and instructor availability.

Follow Spanish Exploradores curriculum and instructional guidelines
Incorporate music, movement, games, storytelling, crafts, and conversation into lessons
Encourage children to engage with Spanish in a natural and positive way
