Remote work environment, they provide equipment, some flexibility, wonderful online platform to teach in.

Good flexibility, but you are expendable

Spanish teacher

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work from home. Students are great.

Cons

Constant changes in expectations. Often elective courses, even Spanish are given only 30 minutes per week of instructional time, sometimes less. Be prepared to teach anywhere from 600-2000 students, and you are basically grading. In-person testing is challenging, inflexible, and your life must revolve around the commitment.
