Teachers

All members of our experienced team of teachers are qualified to teach Spanish as a foreign language.

All of our teachers share three basic qualities: personal attention to each student, thorough preparation of the classes, and commitment to academic achievement.

The exchange of cultural experiences between students and teacher and the teachers’ total commitment to the school’s project have created a close-knit community within BCN Languages that works toward a common goal: helping the student to learn, accompany him or her and giving support along the learning path, and make the process enjoyable.

Àngels Navarro

Àngels Navarro has been a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language for 9 years. She is from Barcelona and has been working in BCN Languages since 2007. She prepares for and examines the DELE Exams.

It’s wonderful being a SFL teacher; I am continually in contact with people from other countries. It’s a very rewarding job. We prepare the classes taking into account our students’ interests and needs. Each group is different so each class is different too. The experience is very enriching and it is always very rewarding to see how students progress and enjoy our culture.

The classroom is the place where we interact. As teachers, we teach Spanish but we also learn from our students, we learn about other cultures; being in our classroom, you get the feeling as if you are travelling to other countries. It’s a unique sensation!

Chema Seglers

Chema Seglers has been a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language for 4 years. He is from Barcelona and has been working in BCN Languages since 2011.

For me, being a SFL teacher is a journey I share with my students through the magic world of words and culture.

A journey in which we both learn! And as a teacher, I always ask myself: How can I make this journey something really special?

I only know one way: be more aware, empathise, continue with my own education, learn more about my language and how to teach it, open up, and continue to grow on all levels.

Learning a language and teaching it are the two sides of the same coin: an adventure to find out more about ourselves.

Núria Aleixandre

Núria Aleixandre has been a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language for 15 years. She is from Barcelona and has been working in BCN Languages since 2000. She prepares for and examines the DELE Exams.

For me, being a SFL teacher is to have the opportunity every day to meet people from other countries and other cultures. Teaching a language is not only enriching but also the chance to share really interesting knowledge with people from around the world.

You teach and learn at the same time. It’s like going on a virtual trip at your job. That’s why it becomes more than just something you do.

Maria Torres

María Torres has been a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language for 8 years. She is from Barcelona and has been working in BCN Languages since 2007. She prepares for and examines the DELE Exams.

To me, being a Spanish teacher is a continuous learning exchange. Every day as a teacher I learn aspects of different cultures thanks to my job which allows me to get to know people from all over the world. Due to constant communication with other teachers, there is a lot of professional development through the sharing of ideas, suggestions and opinions.

I find this very enriching.
At the same time it’s a job that obliges you to always keep yourself up-to-date in order not to come to a standstill in your classes regarding new technologies, interesting current pieces of news to use in class, new books, reference manuals and training courses. I love my job!
