Job Description

Tara Performing Arts High School is looking for someone to teach Spanish to our highly motivated students who have elected this as their world language for high school. Excellent fluency and articulation are essential, as we recognize that students learn much from hearing the language spoken well. Our primary teaching method is immersion, for we believe that this is the best way to learn even though the process can be challenging. Out of the hour-long class a teacher should spend at most a total of ten minutes with English, perhaps to explain a grammatical concept, but the balance of the class must be in Spanish. Part of teaching the language is also to share Spanish or Latin culture, including poetry, music, food, festivals and simple Spanish literature, but the most important aspect of this class is to teach the students to speak. Classes are small (1-10 students) and our students are eager learners. They are respectful, kind and will be grateful to have a good teacher.

The position is part-time, with four one-hour classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Our base hourly rate is $34.00 per hour with increases based on teaching experience and background with Waldorf/Steiner education. Teachers are also compensated for one hour of preparation for every hour of classroom teaching. Benefits are limited to two complimentary tickets to each run of our student performances. Please send your resume with a cover letter if you are interested and qualified for this position to office@tarahighschool.org.
