Overview

Owl is recruiting experienced Spanish tutors for a short-term remote project with a language-learning platform, run through Mercor. The work centers on recorded one-on-one sessions with native English speakers who are learning Spanish. Tutors lead real lessons for learners at different proficiency levels and aim for conversations that feel like genuine language practice. The engagement lasts about three weeks, with about seven hours of scheduled sessions each week. Each session must run at least 20 minutes, and most last between 20 and 30 minutes.

What You'll Do6

  • Lead one-on-one Spanish tutoring sessions that keep learners speaking for most of the time.
  • Adapt lesson content to the learner's proficiency level and the topics the project gives you.
  • Draw out detailed answers and back-and-forth dialogue rather than short responses.
  • Follow the lesson structure and project instructions you receive for each session.
  • Record sessions and keep each one within the required 20 to 30 minute window.
  • Avoid long silences, off-topic detours, and extended dead air.

Requirements8

  • Speak Spanish with fluency and strong verbal communication.
  • Hold a bachelor's degree or higher.
  • Bring at least three years of Spanish teaching or tutoring experience.
  • Have taught native English speakers at more than one proficiency level.
  • Adjust lesson structure and communication style to fit each learner.
  • Maintain reliable availability and a record of punctuality.
  • Feel comfortable taking part in recorded online sessions.
  • Come from Spain, Mexico, or another Spanish-speaking region.

Who Should Apply

The role fits a fluent Spanish speaker who has taught or tutored for three or more years, holds a bachelor's degree, and has worked with native English speakers at different proficiency levels. You need to feel at ease on camera and keep a 20 to 30 minute lesson active without long pauses. Candidates who have no formal teaching background or only informal conversation practice often score lower. A common reason for rejection is failing to show how you adapt lessons across levels. Another is a schedule that cannot support about seven hours per week for three weeks, since the project relies on consistent attendance.

Salary Insight

The project pays $60.00 to $65.00 per hour. That range sits above many standard online tutoring rates and reflects the need for native-level Spanish, recorded sessions, and a short project timeline.
