Spanish Teachers

Amèrica

I live in the community of Mezcales, I used to live in the town of Sayulita 20 minutes away from where I currently live, but due to the pandemic I had to move. Both towns are located in the Riviera Nayarita so called because we are surrounded by wonderful beaches, mountains and jungle.

I am 41 years old, I have a 19 year old son named Inti who is my unconditional love and I am divorced. I have had the opportunity to work as a teacher for several years and it is what I like to do the most among all the activities I do. I love teaching Spanish because you learn a lot about the language and other languages but above all you learn to respect and empathize with other people who are interested in learning more about this language.

Due to the pandemic my job had to close the services and I did not receive enough income to pay rent, thanks to the opportunity that I received from the teacher Kathy, little by little I have been recovering, paying debts, helping my son and moving forward with other women with whom we form a wonderful team.

Andrea

Hello, my name is Andrea Morales and I live in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. A touristic city that foreigners and nationals like. I was born in Mexico City almost 60 years ago. I have also lived in Zitácuaro and Zamora in the state of Michoacán. And before moving to Vallarta, I lived in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

My husband's name is Javier, he works in a hotel. We have a 25 year old son named Ruben who works in the area of cartoon animation.

Most of the time I have worked as a science teacher, teaching physics, chemistry, biology and ecology for junior high and high school. I recently decided to study for a master's degree in Development, Sustainability and Tourism. I also belong to the Scout Movement, which helps children and young people to develop important skills such as sociability, physicality and character.

I have a short time as a Spanish teacher in this association and I feel very comfortable with this job, since it allows me to continue taking care of my elderly parents and also because it is a new and challenging challenge to use digital technology to teach.

Mercedes

My name is Mercedes, I am Argentinean, I am 43 years old and I have been living in Mexico for 19 years. I currently live in Sayulita, Nayarit with my three children and my husband. I love living in Mexico, it is a wonderful country.

A little over a year ago I started English classes at the center and thanks to that I met "Mujeres Movimiento" and a group of wonderful women, that's how I started teaching Spanish, first, in person and then because of COVID in Zoom.
This opportunity besides helping me economically allowed me to meet many incredible people.

In this time that we are going through it was very helpful because it would have been impossible to work because many places closed and even now that they are open they work part time. I am very grateful for trusting me and giving me this opportunity to teach, meet people and travel the world through them.

Leonarda

My name is Leo, I am 21 years old and I am currently studying Public Accounting. I live with my parents in a small town in Nayarit.

What I enjoy most about teaching Spanish is the opportunity to interact and explore Spanish with students, as well as helping them meet their goals and objectives. Plus it is always fun and interesting to exchange cultural and other points of view that come with learning a new language.

In the midst of the pandemic crisis, when many businesses have closed, having the opportunity to work as a Spanish teacher has been a great relief, as well as very uplifting and enjoyable.

Laura

My name is Laura, I am 56 years old and I live in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. I have two daughters and three dogs that are part of the family.

What I like about Spanish classes is meeting people and helping people from other countries to learn Spanish and to be able to communicate without limits in this world.

This job is a great opportunity to earn income for my family and meet extraordinary people, I am very grateful.

Brenda

Hello, my name is Brenda Griselda Gómez Camarena, I am 22 years old and I live in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, with my sister and my mother; we are a small family. I am a Biology student and I am working on a research project to obtain my degree soon.

What I like most about teaching Spanish is helping people who need to communicate in all family, academic or work matters, without having that language obstacle and being part of the interculturality.

The work within this program has completely supported my family economy and at the same time I enjoy living and teaching in these difficult times.

Julieta

I was born on March 20, 1970, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, I am the oldest of 4 siblings. I am 51 years old, married and have two wonderful children. A 23 year old boy and a 13 year old girl.

I live in Puerto Vallarta Jalisco, it is a paradisiacal place, something I like very much is to be in contact with nature and to practice yoga and something I don't like is noise.

My favorite hobby is spending time with my family and friends. I really like teaching Spanish because I can help other people and also make new friends. I am very happy with this job because financially it helps me a lot. I love and enjoy teaching.

Roxana

I am Roxana Delfin and I live in Merida, Yucatan with my baby girl and my dog. We are a small and very happy family.

I love teaching Spanish classes, it's a good opportunity to get to know different cultures and learn, apart from admiring the language and considering it one of the most beautiful languages in the world, I love music and working with it. This and Psychology are my greatest pleasures.

Thanks to this job I can afford to work with my daughter at home who is still small without having to take her somewhere, I am very grateful to have met Miss Kathy and this group of women empowered and determined to make a difference, creating opportunities, awareness and educating people both in the community and in general in the country.

Valeria

My name is Valeria Ruvalcaba and I am 22 years old. I am from Puerto Vallarta but when I entered college I moved to Guadalajara, due to the pandemic I have been traveling between the two cities of Jalisco and trying to pursue my career in audiovisual media and animation.

I am very excited to teach Spanish classes because it gives me the opportunity to share a piece of my life and to be able to give my students such a useful tool as learning a new language and being able to learn from them.

Being able to work in this program gives me the economic support and the freedom I need to be able to continue my studies. I am very happy to be in the program.

Brigi

My name is Brigi Lopez and I have a degree in special education.

I am from Tepic Nayarit Mexico where I live, I worked for 18 years as a teacher in elementary and kindergarten and now I teach ballet and art classes for children in a cultural center. I like art and that is why I am active and volunteer in workshops and cultural and artistic activities where I am invited to participate.

I have worked with insertion and teaching programs for the learning of English and Spanish which has been rewarding and a great experience in my life.

Iveth

Hello, my name is Iveth Castro, I live in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. I love decorating, sewing, music and spending time with family and friends.

Teaching Spanish classes to foreigners as part of the Mujeres Movimiento program has been very rewarding for me for several reasons. It has allowed me to meet people with very different origins, customs and ages; it gives me the satisfaction of seeing how the students are managing to communicate better and better in a language that is not their native language; and it provides me with an additional income that allows me to continue with personal projects.

Gaby

My name is Gaby Pellicer, I currently live in Guadalajara, and I travel constantly to Bandera Bay and Puerto Vallarta, where I lived a large part of my life, and where my two children were born and raised. That is why I have a great affection for this area where Mujeres Movimiento is located. Being part of it makes me feel in touch with my roots.

After several changes of residence and facing some challenges derived from the pandemic, Mujeres Movimiento gave me the opportunity to collaborate in the Spanish Classes program, which has been an opportunity for both personal and professional growth. Working online has been a new, interesting and enriching experience.

What I like most is the opportunity to teach, exchange knowledge and connect with people from other countries who are interested in my language and culture, and who are interested in contributing to Mujeres Movimiento's goal, which is to generate better opportunities for local women and have a positive impact on the community.
