Our teachers
Native teachers, philologists by training.
Our teachers are Spanish, philologists by training and bilingual in Arabic and Spanish. They build each lesson around your real situations and correct you precisely: the register of a meeting, the tone of an email, the pronunciation that gets you understood first time.
If your first language is Arabic, you have an extra advantage: they explain Spanish through the structures of Arabic —p and b, the five vowels, ser and estar— within a shared cultural code.
More than 300 international professionals have taken our programmes.
