Freelance Spanish Teacher
Face-to-face evening classes in Colchester
BeLingual is looking for an experienced, passionate, warm, and engaging freelance Spanish teacher to deliver our face-to-face Spanish to Connect courses for adult learners in Colchester.
At BeLingual, we believe learning a language should help people communicate with greater confidence, build meaningful connections, and participate more fully in real life. Our programmes bring together practical Spanish, soft skills, and multicultural awareness within a supportive, interactive learning experience. We are looking for someone who not only teaches the language well, but also understands how to create a classroom where adults feel comfortable speaking, making mistakes, and progressing together.
The Opportunity
- Contract type: Freelance / independent contractor
- Location: Lexden/Stanway area, Colchester
- Delivery: Face-to-face
- Schedule: Three evening classes per week for 12 weeks (with the option to take on more groups each new term)
- Start date: Mid-October 2026 or Mid-January 2027
- Class length: 1 hour and 30 minutes (please arrive a few minutes early to set up the classroom)
- Fee/Compensation: £35 per class (equivalent to £23.33/hour for each 1.5-hour session)
- Learners: Small groups of adult students (up to 10)
Training and structured class materials will be provided, including presentations and supporting resources for each session.
We’re Looking for Someone Who
- Speaks Spanish at a native or native-equivalent level.
- Has a strong command of English.
- Holds a degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, Linguistics, Education, or a related field.
- Has experience teaching, tutoring, or facilitating learning.
- Feels confident using classroom technology (projectors, TVs, laptops).
- Is confident supporting adult learners at different stages of their language journey.
- Creates a warm, inclusive, and engaging classroom environment.
- Is reliable, organised, and comfortable working independently.
- Can encourage participation and help learners speak without fear of making mistakes.
- Understands that effective communication goes beyond grammar and vocabulary.
- Is happy to complete a brief student feedback form after each session.
- Can prepare one personalised learner progress report per programme, complete with detailed feedback and recommendations.
- Is happy to bring one simple Latin American or Spanish dish or treat per course as part of the cultural learning experience (assigned budget provided).
- Can provide at least one reference from a previous employer.
- Holds Right to Work
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our Teaching Approach
Spanish to Connect is built around:
- Practical, real-life communication
- Active speaking and interaction
- Confidence over perfection
- Soft-skills development
- Cultural awareness
- Small-group learning
- Meaningful human connection within the group
- Cultural experiences through food, music, stories, and shared traditions
This is not a traditional grammar-led course, and our students are not studying to pass a formal language exam. Learners are encouraged to use Spanish meaningfully from day one, developing the confidence, awareness, and communication skills needed to connect in real-world situations.
