Not fluent?
While you might think that you need to be fluent in Spanish if you’re going to be teaching it to others, that’s not always the case.
Many language franchises in the children’s sector aren’t necessarily looking for fluency: what they are looking for is people who are proficient enough to communicate well, even if they’re not native speakers or don’t have a languages degree.
Spanish language franchisors tell us they’re also keen to find people who are enthusiastic about the culture, have a natural rapport with children, and are keen to share their passion about all things Spanish with young children and their families.
And all the other skills you need to run a successful, profitable business?
