Ilse Chemaly
I come from a multicultural family so it’s easy to tell that my passion for languages roots in my parents and grandparents. My father spoke French and learned Spanish to such a skill level that he was able to write poems in both languages. Poetry, arts, and history were the daily bread at home. It is the transmission of traditions, cultural aspects, particularly from Latinamerica, that enthused me to teach Spanish.
I hold a BA in Political Science and I got a master’s degree from Escuela Diplomatica of Spain. International relations has been the core of my latest 35 years. I led a cultural and academic language center for 23 years which gave me the managerial perspective. I specialized in teaching English as a foreign language and Spanish as a second language, developed and managed various programs for various audiences, and learned the needs of the students as well as of the teachers.
Angélica Figueroa
I am an enthusiastic teacher from Ecuador with more than twelve years of experience as a language teacher. My passion for my profession has let me travel to different countries as Australia and United States of America teaching not only my mother language, but also a small part of my culture. I have a bachelor’s degree in Educational Science, and a Certification to teach Spanish as a Second Language. I have had the opportunity to teach different ages from kids to adults in different levels.
To be a teacher has been one of the most wonderful things of my life, I have interacted with many people from different cultures, and customs that have allowed to me to understand the importance of learning a new language. My goal is continue teaching Spanish adapting to the necessities of people in order that they can learn this wonderful language and develop their skills as the same they do in their own mother language.
