A.L.

¡Hola! My name is Ana Luisa and I will be your teacher during our time together. I have been teaching Spanish in Cuenca since 2015 and studied tourism at university where I learned about the Natural Approach for teaching and learning languages.

I love to travel and I enjoy sharing the richness of Ecuadorian culture (especially while teaching). I have been selected as the best Spanish teacher and Spanish school in Cuenca by our local community at GringoPost since 2015 and will continue to provide a great experience for my students in the future as well.

¡Te veo en clases!
