    Description

    Language school that seeks cultural exchange, through the teaching and learning of the English language. The volunteers can learn more about our Bolivian culture and customs and help me out with my wonderful students.

    I am a Senior Technician in Tourism and I have 28 years of experience in different areas of tourism (travel agencies, hotels). I can for sure share with you stories and knowledge of the place.

    The English school is located in the city of Potosí, where I live and where, together with the help of volunteers and friends around the world, I teach English and Spanish.
    My students are of all ages.

    My city was declared "Cultural Patrimony of Humanity" by UNESCO and we need to be up to this appointment, reason for which I have dedicated myself to work with native volunteers to improve our language skills and welcome tourists from all over the world.


    Potosí, is a small city with around 828,000, at 4,060 m.s, being the highest city in the world. Rich in culture, its majestic "Cerro Rico" has been part of Universal history, has the largest salt flat in the world "Salar de Uyuni", its "Real Casa de Moneda", hot springs, pre-Inca mining towns, etc. . This place has markets, street food and a walk around the city is never boring.

    Mi ciudad fue declarada "Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad" por la UNESCO y requerimos estar a la altura de este nombramiento. Motivo por el cual siendo el inglés un idioma universal me he dedicado a trabajar con voluntarios nativos.
