Description:
PandaTree delivers high-quality online foreign language tutoring for children. Our students are children 5-15 years old who are learning a foreign language and are looking to practice their conversational skills. PandaTree provides a fun and convenient way for our students to learn with individualized tutoring sessions and engaging conversation-starting content.
Currently, PandaTree is hiring native-fluency Spanish-speaking tutors to provide one-on-one conversational tutoring for 5-15 year old children via videoconference. Tutors work 15-25 hours of their choosing per week from the comfort of their own home/room.

Tutors gently help with new words or corrections as needed and add new words to the student’s personalized word list.
