ESL Educator & Language Scholar (Student Visa / Study & Work Route)

Learn in Spain. Teach in Spain. Live the Mediterranean Dream.

Location: Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, or Regional Placements)

Program Type: Dual Work-Study Placement (20–30 Hours/Week Legal Work Authorization)

This Is NOT a Free Vacation

Most people dream of living under the Spanish sun, sipping sangria, and casually teaching a few sentences of conversational English. That’s not what we’re offering.

We are looking for ambitious, adaptable educators who want to level up their own skill set while transforming how Spanish students master English. On this dual route, you won't just be working—you will be enrolled in an accredited Spanish immersion program while actively working as an ESL teacher.

If you can’t balance academic growth, lesson planning, and cultural integration at the same time, this opportunity isn't for you. But if you’re ready to gain a recognized qualification, gain real classroom leadership experience, and secure a legal pathway to live in Europe, keep reading.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

You will split your time between being a student and an educator—a dynamic mix designed to sharpen your skills on both sides of the whiteboard.

In the Classroom (Educator Role): Lead engaging, high-energy ESL sessions for young learners, teens, or adults. You will deconstruct English grammar, run real-world conversation workshops, and build student confidence without relying on English translation crutches.

In the Academy (Scholar Role): Complete accredited Spanish language and methodology modules designed to advance your linguistic abilities.

Cultural Translation: Bridge cultural gaps by introducing authentic international perspectives into your lesson plans while immersing yourself in everyday Spanish life.
