Program Highlights:

This project is addressed to people who:
- want to learn, improve or practice Spanish

- are interested in living in South America (Colombia is the new country in South America. 20 years ago things were hard, but now it is completely different. The country is in the process of transformation and is full of kindness and most of travelers called the best country in S.A)
- like teaching
- want to help to make Colombia bilingual (the idea of the project is to incentive bilingualism, the nation is changing and it requires that the new generations speak English. Some people in the cities can communicate in English but the people who live in small cities around do not really as there are no proper methodologies yet. )

Mission Statement:

Transform and democratize English learning in our country. We offer English classes face to face and virtually at prices that are affordable to all Colombians with people like you, from the whole world. Our goal is not only to teach a language but offer a cultural experience and impact on people lives.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

Education must be affordable for everybody regardless of his/her religion, social class, race or age.

Program History:

We start in 2018 and since then we have been working hard to make English language affordable to everybody. We work with people from everywhere to make English an exchange of knowledge. In 2022 we were selected as one of the best programs to learn English by TESOL Colombia. In 2021 we were selected a program with a high social impact by the german organization Stiftung Entrepreneurship.

Events:

We make social events once per month with our students. Beside, there is a lot of interaction between our teachers and adult students.
