Key Responsibilities:

Deliver engaging and age-appropriate Spanish lessons to primary-aged pupils.

Introduce pupils to Spanish vocabulary, pronunciation and basic conversational skills.

Create a positive, inclusive and stimulating learning environment.

Adapt teaching approaches to suit EYFS, KS1 or KS2 pupils as required.

Follow existing lesson plans or prepare suitable activities where required by the assignment.

Maintain positive behaviour and effective classroom management.

Encourage pupils to develop confidence and enthusiasm for learning languages.
