Santiago

I’m Santiago Peña and I’m here to help you with your Spanish. But first let me tell you a little bit more about me so you get to know my story.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Topography and after working many years in different big infrastructure projects around Spain I felt I wanted to do something else. I was tired of moving to a different city each time and I wanted to live close to the sea. I like the contact with people, their stories, dreams, struggles. After pondering several ideas, I discovered that my real vocation was teaching.

In 2009 I graduated as a Secondary School Teacher from Baleares University. Later I gained a Spanish teaching certification at Instituto Cervantes, the best and most prestigious international institution to train and become a Spanish Teacher.

I have more than five years of teaching experience, thanks to this background I have developed a program customized to every student’s needs. The concept “One size fit all” doesn’t work at all in teaching not only languages, but virtually anything.

There are some students who would rather focus on learning the language by simulation of real-life situations, while others would rather study grammar and understand each idiomatic structure.

All of my students enjoy my approach to teaching Spanish, because I always make sure I deliver the material in a simple, fun and effective way.

I love travelling and meeting people from everywhere. I’ve lived in a lot of different places. I have recently come back to Spain from Holland and I now live in Menorca. This place is a paradise, if you have the chance to visit it don’t hesitate!
