You're bilingual, qualified, and experienced — so why does it feel like the online teaching world was built for everyone except you?
Most platforms want native English speakers. The ones that don't often overlook your Spanish fluency entirely, treating it as a footnote rather than the asset it actually is. You have a degree, a TEFL, years of teaching experience, and the rare ability to bridge two languages for students who genuinely need that bridge — and yet you're still hunting for a role that sees your full value.
That role exists. And it was built specifically for someone like you.
Here Is Your Solution
We are looking for bilingual EFL teachers — Spanish first language speakers with C1/C2 English proficiency — to deliver high-quality English instruction to beginner students across group and private classes.
Your bilingualism isn't a nice-to-have here. It's the foundation of the role.
