Who are we? Our experience

At ELEBAIRES we are made up of a team of university-educated academics that have oriented their careers towards teaching our native Spanish language. We believe that it is necessary to offer a unique space for foreign students, tourists, professionals or entrepreneurs that want to adquire and familiarize themselves with Latin American language and culture.

ELEBAIRES Professors

 

Our professors have graduated with a degree in Language and Literature, specializing in Spanish instruction. They have a very strong understanding of Latin American language and culture. They highly enjoy teaching, and make a special effort to not only teach ELEBAIRES students Spanish, but also to get to know them as individuals and connect with each and every one of them on a personal level, both in and outside of the classroom.
