The successful applicant should be well prepared to teach Spanish language, culture, and film classes at all levels to students from diverse backgrounds, have experience teaching Spanish in remote and/or online formats, and possess native or near-native proficiency in Spanish. Experience teaching beginning- or intermediate-level Portuguese is a plus.
