Part-Time Spanish Immersion Teacher Orange County CA
About The Position
Creative STEAM Academy is seeking an energetic and passionate Spanish Immersion Teacher to lead our after-school Spanish enrichment program for elementary grades.

Our after-school Spanish immersion program meets Monday through Thursday from 2:15–4:00 p.m. Each day may feature a different theme or activity, while Spanish remains the primary language used in the classroom. Students learn vocabulary, listening comprehension, and conversational Spanish through meaningful activities such as: * Hands-on projects and collaborative challenges * Art, painting, drawing, building, and creative design * Theatre, storytelling, skits, and role-playing * Sports, movement, songs, and interactive games * Real-life conversations and practical language activities The goal is to help students become comfortable understanding and speaking Spanish while participating in engaging, age-appropriate experiences.
