Alvaro Martinez

Hi, everyone.

My name is Alvaro. I´m 24 years old and I study economics and anthropology at UMSA here in La Paz. Aside from teaching languages, I also really enjoy drawing and painting. Another passion of mine is both learning and teaching languages. I speak Spanish, English and am currently learning German. I´m one of i.e.´s experienced and enthusiastic teachers, and I look forward to adopting my classes to the specific needs and perspectives of my students.

Carolina Contino

Hola, I`m Carolina! I am 33 years old, and I am from Argentina. I have been teaching grammar and literature in schools for 12 years. I have a master’s degree in Spanish for foreigners. One important aspect of my life is that teaching is my passion. I think that learning a new language is a way to gain exposure to other cultures. In our classes, we will improve your communication skills by practicing in real situations, paying special attention to your own interests. You can also learn about La Paz through immersion classes (visiting museums, markets, cafés). In addition to teaching, I like traveling, literature, cinema, fine arts and different lifestyles. ¡Nos vemos!

Denisse Guerra

Hello! I enjoy life through languages, that is why I became a teacher ;) I have been teaching for 4 years. My first experience was with children...it was really fun!! Besides teaching, I love playing sports, especially volleyball. I enjoy watching surfing...kind of ironic 'cause my nightmares always include big waves that are about to kill me! Anyway, to relax I like to watch movies, drink a couple of beers while I listen to my favorite music or go dancing...I just don`t get tired of it! ;)

Julio Luis Muñoz

¡Un gusto! Nice to meet you. I am Julio Muñoz. I have been teaching Spanish, my mother-tongue for 30 years. I speak English and Germany fluently, have taught in many countries around the world and am now happy to live and teach in La Paz. I specialize in teaching intermediate and advanced students who are eager to learn the nitty-gritty of my language. Beyond a deep grammar focus, I enjoy offering literature and lots of focused conversation to my students. In addition to languages, I enjoy art and have published several pen-drawings and short stories. I always like having students who are thirsty to learn more about culture, art, politics and history.

Maritza Griffiths

Hi, my name is Maritza Griffiths. You may be thinking I'm from England or the USA because of my last name, but, if so, you are wrong! I'm from Bolivia. I have a Bachelors Degree in Linguistics, and have almost 15 years of experience teaching English in high schools and universities. I have 4 years of experience teaching my own language (Spanish), which I began to teach in a high school in the United States.

I've been working at i.e. teaching Spanish since 2006. I have had good experiences with foreign people who couldn't speak a single word in Spanish, and after 20 to 25 hours of clases with me, they were able to engage in real conversations in Spanish in the present, past and future tenses. I really love teaching languages, I really love doing my job!

Milka Peñaranda

Hi, I’m Milka! I am 32 years old, and from Bolivia. I am a linguist, having studied at the Mayor de San Andrés University in La Paz.

I like teaching Spanish because I love both the language and teaching very much. I have been teaching Spanish here at i.e. for 2 years, and I always place a strong emphasis on communication and comprehension, followed by grammar and spelling.

Additionally, I have had the opportunity to help students improve from the intermediate to the superior level for the DELE Spanish exams; it is always a pleasure to witness their achievements.

I am easy going and I like listening to fusion music, reading and sharing literature with my students too!!!

Natalia Guerra

Hi! I am Natalia but you can also call me Nati. I was born in Argentina, but I have been living in Bolivia almost all my life. Right now, I'm in my last semester of university, studying to get a bachelors degree in Linguistics. Thanks to being able to communicate with other people in different languages such as English, Spanish, German and French, I was able to learn how important it is to be able to let people know what you want to say or how to express your ideas. Here at "instituto exclusivo", we help you to get to that point, so that you are able to interact and create relationships with people around the world.

Patricia Terceros

Hello, I´m Patricia and I am Bolivian. I am a research biologist, and I specialize in the area of health. I have an Education degree for teaching post-grad students and have been teaching biological sciences at the university here. Thanks to my job, I´ve had the opportunity to travel to many countries around the world where I´ve taught Spanish and learned about other cultures. I believe that the best method to learn Spanish is to relate it to your needs and interests; as such, our classes will be very personalized. One class for each student!

Silvia Rocio Quintela Gonzales

Hola! My name is Silvia Quintela and my native language is Spanish. I have a degree in ESL (English as Second Language), I'm studying Systems Engineering and I really love teaching languages. I have 10 years of experience in translation, interpretation and teaching classes.

My "teaching style" is unique. I pledge to know what my students are really looking for, to help them to achieve their goals in Spanish or English, to make a personalized vocabulary which addresses their needs and to have realistic practice on conversations and written experiences.

Let's talk about art, music, ideas, history, technology or books. ¡Será un gusto conocerles!
