WHO'LL BE TEACHING YOU
Mili Simarro
Founder- Director-Teacher
Mili is an Argentinian licensed Literary Translator Specialized in English and Spanish, from Buenos Aires. She loves living in Amsterdam and meeting new, "language-hungry" people.
She has studied English for most of her life and, back in Argentina, she started working as an independent translator in 2006 (yes! almost 15 years ago!). After a while, she started teaching as well, and she has enjoyed every minute of it!
With an experience of 15 years in teaching at schools and also as a freelancer, she understands that in order to learn any language, the way of teaching has to adapt to each student and shift accordingly.
With this idea in mind, Mili has created "Spanish Lessons Amsterdam" in 2010 (10 years ago!), a place where everyone who enjoys learning languages and having a good time can come to learn español!
Verónica Bustin
Spanish Teacher
Vero was born in La Pampa, but considers herself a true porteña, as she spent most of her life in Buenos Aires. She has a degree in English/Spanish translation from the University of Buenos Aires.
She first started teaching English and Spanish in 2006... in China, where she lived for almost 3 years. Humour is an important part of her classes, as she believes a spoonful of sugar definitely makes the grammar go down.
An avid traveller, she's visited parts of South and North America, Europe and South East Asia, and is always planning the next trip. While she saves for said trip, Vero indulges in dancing, singing, reading, baking brownies and/or cakes, and wandering around Amsterdam.
Cristina Jiménez García
Spanish Teacher
Cris was born in Seville, a sunny and colorful city in the south of Spain and she has arrived recently in Amsterdam after living in Napoli and Lisbon.
She has a degree in Communication and is a certified Spanish teacher since 2015. She is also a photography and languages lover and she believes that learning new languages is a way of having a new perspective on life.
Learning with Cris means learning Spanish but, also learning about the culture, traditions, music, cinema, etc. She is a dynamic teacher ready to hear your experiences and share hers with you in a way that makes you feel comfortable, but especially, she is ready to do her best to help you to improve at the pace you need.
Pilar Lázaro
Spanish Teacher
Pilar is from a town near Madrid and has moved to Amsterdam looking for a change. So far she doesn't miss the sun at all and loves her pink-wheeled bike, fearing the moment it gets stolen.
An avid reader from a young age thanks to her father and his library full of horror novels, she decided to graduate in English Studies where she found the joys of language acquisition. She specialized in applied linguistics and continued her career focusing on the methodology for teaching Spanish. She has been teaching English and Spanish to children and adults for four years now.
A very important thing for her is that her students feel comfortable and relaxed in class, that's the way to learn, enjoy and experience a language and its culture while having some fun. She also likes board games a lot, so be ready to play!
Marta Latorre
Spanish Teacher
Marta arrived in Holland from desert lands of Almería, in the very south of Spain. Having lived in different countries such as Germany and Ireland, in 2016 she decided to settle in the Netherlands.
She has been teaching Spanish around the world since 2014, which makes her a very experienced teacher. Marta also has a background in painting and sculpture and is currently working on artistic projects related to social and cultural issues.
In her classes, Marta especially enjoys the interaction with people and the good vibe of a room full of people ready to learn and share their experiences. For this reason, the most important thing for her is creating a good atmosphere where everybody feels comfortable and above all, have fun!
Cecilia Iris Baldo
Spanish Teacher
Ceci was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but moved to the Netherlands in 2018, after falling in love with the canals, the Dutch architecture, and the international atmosphere of Amsterdam. She still believes it was the best decision of her life.
She became a certified Spanish teacher in 2016, and got her degree in English-Spanish translation in 2018. Currently, she is pursuing a Master’s Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language.
If she’s not teaching, she is probably learning a foreign language herself or learning about other cultures, communication, literature, dramatic arts, or technology.She loves visiting new places, be it going to different countries or cities to unravel their secrets or discovering the hidden corners and
secret gems of Amsterdam.
Her classes are fun and full of hands-on Spanish activities. Ceci will make you love our language!Social Media
