The Founder Our academic director, Juana Rodríguez, who is in charge of designing the curriculums and training our teachers, brings over 35 years of teaching experience. She hails from Argentina. From 1993 to 2006, Juana specialized in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language with Instituto Cervantes and several colleges and universities in Lebanon. She taught the language to people of all ages – from middle schoolers, to business executives – and pursued specialized training in Spain. Earlier on, Juana had served as vice principal of a private school in Argentina, following many years of demonstrated excellence as an elementary school teacher in public and private schools. During that span (more than 20 years), Juana participated in several local and national seminars to improve education nation-wide. Juana moved to the United States in 2010 and is looking forward to seeing her unparalleled experience come to fruition yet again in the service of New York City’s would-be Spanish speakers.
