your   academic  needs, the institution and the location.

    After  analyzing  these factors,  I  would like to encourage  you  to consider our   unique institute in the beautiful Dominican Republic. For more than 20  years I have taught Spanish to foreigners. Teaching Spanish is not  just my  vocation, it is my passion. I love my work in general, but teaching Spanish  is for me like teaching  the  language of the  soul; much more than  a  language it is a lifestyle,  a  way of feeling,  it  is my way of serving.

My best regards,
