When a regular teacher calls in sick, BellCover dispatches a vetted, TEFL-qualified instructor to keep your classrooms running that same morning. No academic-coordinator scramble. No quietly cancelled classes.
Cover confirmed
Lesson runs at 09:00 as planned
The whole exchange fits inside one morning. Pick the path that fits your morning — academy or teacher.
We just need a short message — the academy, the time, the room, the group (niños, adolescentes, adultos), and the CEFR level. No multi-step intake form. Most mornings the whole note is two lines long.
Our dispatcher pulls from a Spain-based network of background-checked, TEFL-qualified teachers filtered to your curriculum, age group, and topic. Confirmation lands in your inbox before the morning class list is finalised.
Your lesson plans run as written. Parents and students see no change — and your academic coordinator keeps the morning free to run the centre, not the classroom.
12 Valencia academies requested cover this week. 96% confirmed before the morning class began.
BellCover turns unplanned teacher absences from a costly disruption into a routine operational event. The whole exchange fits inside one morning.
The academy messages or emails BellCover as soon as the absence is known. No long intake form — name, time, room, group, and CEFR level (A2–C1).
Our dispatcher pulls from a curated, Spain-based network of background-checked, TEFL-qualified instructors filtered by the academy's age group (niños, adolescentes, adultos), CEFR level, and teaching style.
You receive the cover teacher's name, profile summary, and arrival time. Lesson plans can be forwarded to them directly — they will run them as written.
A real instructor walks in. Parents and students see no change; your academic coordinator gets the morning back to run the centre, not the classroom.
A predictable, recurring spend that protects your reputation with parents. One email is all it takes — your academic coordinator keeps the morning free to run the centre.
Flexible, paid TEFL work without taking on a permanent placement. Take the days you want, build a roster over time.
Every cover teacher in the BellCover network has been through the same gate. We apply what an academic coordinator would want to check before they walk into a classroom with someone else’s students.
A recognised TEFL or CELTA certificate at 120 hours or more, plus observed teaching in a private academy setting.
A current background check for Spain (certificado de antecedentes penales) — or the local equivalent for cross-border placements.
At least one placement reference, taken directly, before the teacher enters the dispatch pool.
Once an academy works with a teacher they like, we route future covers back to that teacher first.
Still unsure? Read the full FAQ or email us directly.
Send us the group, the time, and the level. We will reply with a confirmed cover profile before the morning is out.
