About Us
We are a group of language specialists based in Ecuador who offer an innovative and personalized system of Spanish language teaching. Our staff is made up of native, bilingual, certified teachers with extensive experience working with foreigners in different areas of life, such as: volunteers, business people, teachers, students and retirees. All courses are taught by our qualified Ecuadorian teachers, giving you the feeling of studying abroad and enhancing your language learning experience. Classes with native speakers are the best way to get to know the rich Latin culture.
The quality of the services offered by Hola Spanish Classes is due to the professional and extensive experience of its teachers in Spanish schools and international volunteer organizations in Quito. Over the years, we have created a team that allows us to offer the best Spanish learning experience that suits all the needs of our students.
Our Founder Enrique Salvatierra had the vision of one day being able to share unique experiences in different languages and for this reason he decided to train in a renowned English language institute. It was then that he felt that languages can open many doors to export to the world and through people from different countries to know many traditions and culture, but this was not all, he was a volunteer in a foundation located in the capital of Ecuador and in this foundation he was able to meet many volunteers from different countries, but most of them arrived in Ecuador but without knowing the native language of Ecuador which is Spanish, so it is at this moment that he decides to have a severe training in the grammar and methodology of teaching the Spanish language and since then he has dedicated himself to teaching Spanish for more than 15 years.
During these 15 years Enrique attended many national and international trainings to perfect his vocation of teaching Spanish and put his skills into practice with a specialization in educational pedagogy and that is how You Say HOLA Spanish classes have changed and will continue to change the lives of many people and we will be part of that process of change in your life.
