In-Person Spanish Tutor — Miami; Freelance, Evenings​/Weekends

We are looking for Spanish teachers to teach in person in Miami. Your students are local residents: adults learning for work or travel, teenagers preparing for exams, and beginners who have never studied a language before.

In Miami Spanish is a working language, not a holiday one. Students want to stop being the only person in the meeting who cannot follow it.

• Teach Spanish in person, in small groups and one to one, from absolute beginner upwards.
• Plan lessons for the students in front of you rather than working through a book page by page.
• Assess new students properly and place them in the right group, which matters more than it sounds: a misplaced student usually just stops coming.
• Track progress and tell students the truth about it.
• Prepare candidates for recognised exams where that is what they want.

• Spanish at C2 level.
• An ELE qualification: a master’s, a teacher training course, or the equivalent.
• Experience teaching adults, and comfort with mixed-ability rooms.
• The right to live and work in USA.
• You live in Miami and can teach in person. This is not an online role.
• Availability for evenings and weekends, because that is when adults can come.

A real advantage: experience with teenagers or exam preparation, and English strong enough to explain a grammar point to a nervous beginner.

This is freelance work, paid monthly. You invoice your hours once a month and are paid monthly. Hours depend on enrolment in Miami and are agreed with you in advance, not sprung on you the day before. Concrete terms are discussed during the selection process.

Vamos Academy has taught Spanish and English since 2010. We have our own campuses in Málaga and Buenos Aires and teach in other cities across Europe and the Americas, Miami among them. It means your students can carry on with us if they ever go and study in Spain or Argentina, and a few of them will.

No. It is a freelance arrangement: you invoice, and you are paid monthly. We say so plainly here rather than letting you find out on the first call.

It depends on the season and on enrolment in Miami. We will give you real numbers in the first conversation instead of a promise.

No, and we would not ask. We ask for C2 level, which is a description of what you can do rather than where you were born.

Use the application form on this page. It takes about eight minutes across four short steps: about you, the role, your eligibility, and your CV. Choose Miami as your campus so your application reaches the right team.

Every application is read by a person. If your profile fits we will write to arrange a first conversation, and if it does not we will still write to tell you.

We keep applications on file for twelve months and then delete them.
