BSL Staff

We are pleased to have a team of qualified teachers dedicated to improving your Spanish language proficiency and with a strong commitment to fostering a successful school atmosphere. We care about each and every student, and it shows in the results.

As well, she likes going outdoor and teaching Spanish in real environments and while trekking which is a great option for nature lovers and those who are too active to study at the school. She has also travelled a lot and likes sharing her experiences with the students.

When I was a kid I used to tell my mum I would never be a teacher (she was one) and now it is the thing I enjoy the most. I love seeing that my students are learning and they enjoy it. The thing is it is not only them the ones who learn, I also learn a lot from them. That is something I really like too: language lessons are always an exchange of experiences, knowledge, ..."
