Practical, Real-World Spanish Instruction
We believe that the best way to learn Spanish is to live it. Our teachers place a strong emphasis on Practical Spanish for real-life situations.
Lessons often incorporate authentic local materials, such as menus from neighboring restaurants on Vía Argentina or local news articles. This helps students navigate daily interactions, order food, and converse with locals with genuine confidence. Even in our small group classes (limited to 4 students), instruction remains highly personalized, adapting to individual learning styles and goals.
A Diverse and Accomplished Teaching Team
Among our 16-member Spanish teaching staff, the majority hold 10 or more years of experience. Beyond their language credentials, they bring expertise from various specialized fields, enriching the classroom experience:
-
University Professors (specializing in Philosophy, Theology, and Law).
-
Public Authorized Translators and editors.
-
Certified Tourist Guides with deep knowledge of Panamanian history.
-
Professionals with backgrounds in the United Nations, NGOs, and multinational corporations.
