Description
Hey there!
I am a 32-year-old from Ambato, and I take pride in being the owner of the Academy. With over a decade of experience as a teacher, I have dedicated myself to education. Welcoming volunteers to my institute brings me great joy, as it enriches our learning environment.
We are an English school based in Ambato, Ecuador. We use a different methodology at our school as we encourage students to use the grammar and vocabulary they have been taught with native English speaker to provide them with more confidence using the language.
We encourage you to see the sights around Ambato and are excited to show you new places on the weekends like Baños and Riobamba ! Obviously after the work hours everything will be in Spanish so you can learn more Spanish.
We love to host activity nights so are keen to have your ideas and input into these. -
