Hello! My name is Gonzalo and I am from Granada. I lived there for 24 years, grew up and studied English as a Foreign Language pedagogy. Also trained as an ELE teacher and as a DELE examiner at all levels. For almost 8 years I have been living in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, where I have worked as a Spanish teacher with children and teenagers, in private schools and at the Instituto Cervantes in Warsaw.

My motto is “there is no better way to learn than having fun” 🙂

Love soccer, both watching and playing it, learning languages and getting to know new cultures, cooking, dancing, singing flamenco and acting.

Hello! I’m Fran and I’m from Elche, a city very close to Alicante. In 2015, just when I finished my degree in History at the University of Alicante, I moved to Poland to do pedagogical studies and several training courses for ELE teachers of expert level organized by the Instituto Cervantes and also to achieve the DELE examiner certificates for all levels.

I have worked as a Spanish teacher in a Primary and Secondary School in Warsaw (Poland) and at Cervantes Institute in the same city.

CTO

My name is Yavé. I am from the Canary Islands but my passion for technology and video games has led me to explore different worlds, both real and virtual. My professional path has led me into the fascinating universe of augmented reality and virtual reality, where I work as a developer specializing in Unreal Engine.

Since I was a child, I’ve loved creating, whether it’s by inventing games with my friends or immersing myself in imaginary stories. Today, I enjoy giving life to those ideas through the development of video games and immersive experiences.

I am a curious person and always in search of new technologies, tools and techniques that allow me to improve in what I do. AR/VR development gives me the opportunity to learn something new on each project and collaborate with amazing people from different disciplines. Creating unique experiences for users is what really drives me every day, and no two days are the same in this exciting field.

Rafael

Cognitive grammar specialist teacher trainer

Hi! I’m Rafa, and although I’m from Úbeda, the land of olive oil, I’ve been living in Granada, the land of my dreams, since I started as an ELE teacher back in 2000 in CastiLa, a wonderful school accredited by the Cervantes Institute in front of the Alhambra. Now I am the academic director and responsible for teacher training. Although I’m not much for labels, some teachers and students call me: “the magician of grammar” and that represents very well my great passion: Cognitive grammar and its application to our classes to make our lives easier every day.

I tell them that it is not magic, it is cognitive grammar.

My 5 year old daughter Lucía, her mummy, a good book, writing, cinema, playing football and spending time in good company fill my life with moments to smile every day.

Marina

Academy Superteacher.

Hi! I’m Marina and, as my name says, I come from the sea. I was born and raised in Barbate, a fishing village in the south of Andalusia, so far south that you can see Africa from the coast!

In 2012 I came to Seville to study and here I stayed. I graduated in Humanities because of my eagerness for cultures, history and the Spanish language; I was also part of a historical archive for two years, there I worked directly with original medieval documents! But I didn’t want to stay between papers and I decided to change of scenery. I became accredited as a Spanish teacher (ELE) in 2018, since then I have not stopped teaching my language and sharing curiosities. Yes, I love the linguistic, historical, cultural curiosities of Spain and Andalusia; I’m always looking for the origins of words and expressions.

But not everything is work, I also love cats, taking care of my plants and going out for tapas in good company.

My name is Ramón. I was born in the city of palm trees, Elche, but life has taken me through different paths. My last destination was the city of Copernicus, where I work as a Spanish teacher since 2013.

I have always loved writing, from novels to television scripts. I love to create new stories, I enjoy like a child giving life to my imagination.

I am a very curious person, I love meeting people and learning new things. Having students from different countries gives me the opportunity to learn about their cultures and surprise me every day. For some years now I have been preparing candidates for the different levels of the DELE exam. Every student is completely different, so I have to adapt to their needs, it’s impossible to get bored with this job!

My passions are art, literature and board games. I also like to know new places and cultures. My biggest dream would be to travel around the world, although I would always return to my favorite place; Grenade. I work as a Spanish and art history teacher at a Secondary Education Institute in Padova. I always teach my students Spanish and its culture with passion. What to say, I love it! Shall I tell you a secret about myself? I am a great fan of monumental cemeteries. No, don’t be scared, I love visiting them for their art, knowing their stories and being able to enjoy taking a walk through them.

Teacher trainer specializing in resource creation.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Niño and I started my education with a Bachelor’s degree in Translation and Interpreting (Spanish, English and German). I have a Master’s degree in Romance Studies: Cultural Contacts and Communication (Spanish and Italian). I am an active researcher and creator with more than 14 years of experience in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I have worked as a teacher of ELE and DAF in various contexts in Germany: teenagers, university students and adults. I have collaborated with different projects in the ELE world related to the creation of materials, digital tools and Cognitive Linguistics.

I am an active blogger; I create materials for teaching and learning Spanish (profe-de-espanol.de) and German (das-sprachenlabor.de). As a trainer, I have focused on the use of digital tools, e-learning and the creation of visual and interactive materials. I have collaborated with different publishers in the ELE world, ELE International, among others. I am currently working at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, Germany, and I have an online teaching project for Spanish and German.

If you give me the choice between buying books and going to buy new pants, I’m sorry, but I’ll definitely choose books. As a child I didn’t have many and that’s why they are now my elixir. They have taught me to be self-taught. My son Emilio has given me the desire to illustrate children’s books, so I go around from time to time, drawing and writing about magical beings or animals that give life lessons.
