About The Position

MiaPrep Online Academy of Ohio (MOAO) is seeking a Spanish Teacher to support students in grades 7–11 through a fully remote, asynchronous teaching model. The role focuses on student support, feedback, and mentorship rather than live instruction. Teachers guide students through a self-paced curriculum; they do not create lesson plans or deliver live classes. They provide coaching, small-group tutoring and office hours, and in-depth feedback on summative assignments. Teachers also serve as Academic Advisors to a caseload of up to 30 students, building relationships and helping them meet their goals.

The position is a full-time, non-exempt employee role, with 40 hours of availability expected each week on a year-round basis. Teachers should generally be available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time, with some flexibility to work outside those hours for appointments and schedule changes. The role is 100% remote and candidates must live in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, or Pennsylvania. The employer intends to fill this current vacancy by January 1, 2027.

Teachers are mandated reporters and must respond to student safety and mental health concerns under MOAO Crisis Response protocols. This includes required training and, when appropriate, administering the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and following documentation and escalation procedures. The stated starting pay range is $27–$30 per hour. Hours worked over 40 per week are paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. The hiring process includes an assessment, at least two interviews, and a role-specific assignment.
