Fran
Direction and Student Care
I was born in Cadiz. I started working as a teacher of English and Spanish as a foreign language. During my professional experience, I have really enjoyed dealing with students. Now, I am lucky to help them from a different perspective.

Adrián
Teacher
Teacher by vocation, I consider teaching as an opportunity to learn to live. My goal is to learn while enjoying, without stress, in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Classes are spaces to enjoy.
Aza
Teacher
My name is Azahara, but I prefer for you to call me Aza. I’m from a place called the world, having lived in 5 different cities. But I consider myself the biggest lover of the south and its beaches. However, I prefer croquetas over the sea.
Carmen
Teacher
I really enjoy this profession in its different levels, the contact with people and their different cultures, the daily discovery. My facet as an actress helps me to understand the class as the scene, as an exchange in which teacher-student actively participate to generate a space for play, communication and reflection.
Inés
Teacher
My name is Inés and I love to read, travel, the orange color and Madrid, my hometown. I have taught both English and Spanish to students of all ages. The thing I enjoy the most about my job is to learn about the different cultural backgrounds present in the classroom. I also believe that learning is a mutual process in which both students and teachers take part.

I love to make the classroom a safe space for everyone. Learning can be funny, even grammar, and this is the approach I take to my classes. I belong to the team winter, mountain and I love going to the countryside. I get along really well with everyone, except for lactose…
Augusto

For me, the classroom is an open and fun space where all students enjoy being the protagonists of their training, without ceasing to be themselves. I love Spain, I enjoy discovering every corner I haven’t been to before.
Daniel
Teacher
A lifelong Madrileño and number one fan of the imperfect preterite. In my classes I love to do role playing activities or activities that involve a certain degree of creativity. I am also passionate about movies and music, so don’t hesitate to ask me for recommendations.
Vero

Some of my hobbies include art, literature, cinema and languages. I love teaching Spanish and learning from my students every day. I also like for the classroom to be a place of cultural exchange, fun and creativity (and some grammar as well).

Meet our goals
Since Spaneasy was born there were three goals that the whole team is fighting to achieve.
Communication
Importance
Tools
Meet our mission
Joining culture and language
Teaching not only the language, but the Spanish culture in a close and friendly form. We carry out a detailed study of the difficulties faced by our students, to develop a method adapted to teaching Spanish as a second language.
We not only have online courses, but we also facilitate language immersion through different experiences in our country, because we understand that there is no better way to learn Spanish than experiencing it day by day. Our teachers, experts in language teaching, are passionate about their work, as they are aware about its beauty.
Meet our
vision
Union of cultures
Learning the language and the culture of a place other than where we were born is a way of opening our minds. It also helps to generate a communication channel between communities. In our Spanish classes you will be seated with classmates from all around the world, and you will have your differences, but you have one thing in common: you can speak one language that will make you understand their points of view.
Spaneasy aims to be a forum in which, through the teaching of the language and Spanish culture, we can bring closer different ways of seeing the world.
In a new world where it is possible to be on the other side of the planet in a few hours, where we can talk over the Internet with a person who is thousands of kilometers away as if they were next door, the only brake is communication. We want to think that if we are able to help everyone understand each other a little better, we are doing our bit for a better world.
Meet our
students
Our school has a very broad intercultural environment, with students from more than 40 different countries. The average age of the students ranges between 20 and 40 years, although we have had students of 8 and even 80 years!
The students we receive in person mainly belong to two profiles: there are those who live and work in Madrid, therefore they usually choose an extensive course or specific individual classes in Business Spanish, and students who come to live an immersion in the Spanish language and culture during their holidays or during a sabbatical year, so they choose an intensive course.
From 2020 Spaneasy has considerably increased its offer of online classes, in order to adapt to this new situation. We have made our hours and teaching methods more flexible to continue to provide quality teaching also to students affected by travel restrictions.
At Spaneasy we pride ourselves on the high rate of students who, after taking a course with us, decide to continue their learning path year after year at our center.
Meet our
methodology
More to learn
At Spaneasy, the student becomes the total protagonist of the learning process and the axis around which all activities, courses and workshops revolve. To achieve full participation and ease in acquiring the language, we work with a communicative approach by tasks. This approach is a didactic proposal that is based on teaching Spanish through the activities of using: oral interaction, written interaction, oral expression, and written expression.
Our teachers represent a link between Spanish society, culture and language and the learning process of our students. For this reason, we always try to ensure that the content and materials taught in class are real, of quality and that they reflect each and every one of the characteristics of Spanish.
Classes
In order to study Spanish the best way possible, our classes are taught in Spanish. That way, our students will hear from day zero real samples of conversations from native speakers. Additionally, the use of materials such as written and oral texts will help our students to obtain progress in their learning journey.
Our teachers’ goal is to ensure that our students learn our language with many activities that most of the time involve games. You will never get bored in our Spanish classes! 😉
If you study Spanish in Spain, specifically in our school, we recommend taking our school’s extracurricular activities. These activities help our students to get a better understanding of the society or history of the city while they reinforce their speaking and hearing skills.
In order to provide our students with the best experience in class, all our teachers allocate a minimum of 15% of their weekly contracted time to class preparation and/or the correction of assessments we conduct throughout the course.
Technology
At Spaneasy we promote an updated teaching method that takes in consideration the specific needs that our students have. Therefore, the adaptation of new technologies in our classes are essential. The use of technology inside the classroom is not only a way of opening up to the real world but it also helps to break the traditional perception of the teacher who dominates everything. We promote the image of a teacher who is a guide of easy learning. Likewise, technology helps with collaborative learning as students can stay in touch virtually after their classes.
To ensure that this theory is put into practice, our school is equipped with computers and televisions in every classroom, that way the Internet becomes one of the main resources for the teacher. For our students, we approve the use of their own mobile phone as it is a good tool. It is comfortable and simple to use, and every student has it! With a phone, students can search or corroborate information when doing exercises, that way they can develop autonomy while learning, or the teacher can ask students to use their phones to play with apps like Kahoot or Quizlet.
Lastly, much of today’s communication takes the form of instant messages. For this reason, it is not uncommon for our students to practice this kind of communication in a real context, using applications such as WhatsApp or similar.
