Native and bilingual teachers of Spanish and Czech

Hi! My name is Tereza and at Hispánica I teach Spanish for beginners and pre-intermediate students. You will meet me in both online and in-person classes.

I also speak Czech and English. Besides languages, I love singing, dancing, playing the piano and the guitar, doing sport and travelling. I like cheerful company and working with people, both adults and children.

Hi! At Hispánica I teach the Czech courses — the language you will learn with us. I also work on our Czech teaching methodology and on developing our materials.

You will meet me when you start studying with us — I will assess your level of Spanish or Czech with you. You can also come to me at any time with any comments.

I speak Czech, Slovak, Spanish, Portuguese and English.

¡Hola! At Hispánica I teach some group and one-to-one courses. I specialise mainly in teaching methodology and work with the other teachers.

¡HOLA!

My name is Silvie and at Hispánica you will find me in the beginner and pre-intermediate courses. I spent a good part of my life in Spain, mostly in Catalonia. It is part of who I am now.

I am lively and talkative. I love hearing at the end of a lesson: "Is that it already?!"

In my free time I like reading, running or going for a walk. You may also come across me on the football pitch, cheering my son on.

I speak Czech, Spanish, Catalan and decent Russian.

¡Hola! My name is Javiera and at Hispánica I teach Spanish. I teach all age groups, but what I enjoy most are lessons with teenagers. I like to make lessons fun, so that students talk a lot and use what they have learned straight away.

I like playing video games, reading fiction and writing short stories. I speak English and Spanish, and I am learning Czech.

¡Buenas!

My name is Lucie Vinšová and I have been teaching languages and linguistics for more than 15 years. I have had the chance to teach on several continents — I lived for long stretches in Wales, in Cambodia and in Colombia. These days I teach English, Welsh, Celtic languages, linguistics and mythology… and beginner Spanish at Hispánica. I learned my Spanish mainly in Colombia, where I spent four years teaching English and other subjects at bilingual schools.

Besides literature, languages and mythology, my interests include the natural sciences, yoga, music, fine art and learning the knowledge and skills of indigenous peoples.

In class we all learn from each other, and it matters a great deal that we all enjoy it and feel comfortable.

I speak Czech, English, Welsh and Spanish.

¡Hola! At Hispánica I teach the general Spanish courses and the courses for children. My focus is on getting students to communicate and speak. You will never be bored in my lessons.

I like films and good television, I go out into nature and out with friends. I like travelling, meeting new people and finding new ways of looking at the world. I like good food and drink.

I speak Spanish, English and a little Czech. I can get by in Italian and Portuguese.

¡Hola! My name is Elizabeth and I am from Argentina. At Hispánica you will find me in the conversation courses, among others.

I love it when students enjoy the lesson and find it useful and enriching. It is not only teaching languages that I enjoy — I am also interested in art, technology and travel, and I love being in nature.

Nice to meet you :-)

¡Nos vemos en la clase!

¡Hola! My name is Anna and you will find me in the Spanish or English lessons. I am currently studying medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University, and in the future I would like to go into orthopaedic surgery.

I have stayed in Spain several times: I worked two months as an au pair in the Basque Country and another two months in Galicia. I also lived in Granada for six months. I completed a surgical

a placement in Ecuador, where I also worked on medical Spanish.

I speak fluent Spanish and English and I have been teaching for more than six years.

I teach not only languages but also subjects such as anatomy and physiology. I try to make my lessons

practical, clear and tailored to what students need. In my free time I do a lot of sport

and I do triathlon.

¡Hola!

My name is Margarita and it will be a pleasure to see you in the online lessons. You will find me in both group and one-to-one classes. We are sure to enjoy the lessons together, play a little and practise a lot. My lessons are interactive and it matters to me that you enjoy learning. With students, and with beginners in particular, I also fall back on Czech so that we always understand each other.

I look forward to seeing you!

¡Hola!

My name is Laura, I am from Colombia and I teach Spanish. I have been living in the Czech Republic for almost three years and I am also studying English Language Teaching at Masaryk University; I love teaching Spanish, my mother tongue. I believe the best way to learn a language is to do it properly, to have fun and to learn through activities and topics you enjoy. I like listening to music, watching films, reading books and baking.

I am also learning Czech; so far I am at A2 level.

¡Hola!

My name is Gonzalo and I come from a Spain full of sunshine and beaches.

I have been teaching Spanish for some time now, and here in Brno I combine it with a doctorate in comparative Indo-European linguistics.

My passion for languages makes me a fearless teacher who loves watching students learn a language as beautiful as ours. I like turning a lesson into an experience that goes beyond learning, where students can enjoy themselves and practise their Spanish with pleasure.

You will find me out hiking in the hills and forests, because I love walking — as much as reading, listening to music and enjoying the simplest things a person has.

I speak Spanish, Valencian, English, Italian, a little Finnish, and at the moment I am polishing up my Czech.

¡Hola! My name is Paula and at Hispánica I teach both one-to-one and group courses for beginners.

university and got to know the local culture. I also speak English and German. In my free time I like running and listening to Latin American

music and travelling.

¡Hola!

My name is Alena and at Hispánica I teach the beginner courses. In class I love sharing what I saw and learned travelling around the north (Asturias) and the south (Andalucía) of Spain, where I lived and studied for several months. Besides Spanish and Czech I speak English, I understand French and Italian when spoken slowly, and I am learning Arabic.

I love long conversations about cultural differences, good cinema, theatre and literature; I also like drawing and sport (aerial acrobatics, dancing and hikes in the mountains).

I am looking forward to seeing you in class!

Hi! My name is Juan Pablo and I am a teacher from northern Mexico. I have been teaching languages since 2017 — I started with English and Chinese, and now Spanish! I like to focus on what each student needs, and I want their own motivation to show in the effort they put in.

I am in the second year of my master's degree at Masaryk University. One year is not enough to learn a language properly, but I am studying Czech anyway, out of my own interest. I like reading, learning languages, travelling and trying all sorts of food.

It will be an honour to be your teacher!

¡Hola! ¿Qué tal todo?,

My name is Raúl and I come from small but beautiful Ecuador, a country of volcanoes, jungle and sea. Teaching Spanish is my chance to open the door to the Spanish-speaking world for anyone who wants to learn this beautiful and useful language. I speak fluent English and Czech at B1 level. Besides teaching Spanish, I want this to be a space for cultural exchange where we can talk about music, books, films and much more. I firmly believe that the most valuable thing about a language is its power to bring people together ;).

It will be a pleasure to meet you in class!

¡Hola!

My name is María. You will find me in the online Spanish lessons. I like lessons with plenty of talking, and I like that students can use the language in everyday life.

Besides Spain, I have lived in Italy and Canada, so I also speak a little Italian, English and Czech. I have been in the Czech Republic for several years now — I married here and I have three children, my youngest Spanish students!

I like being in the garden with my plants, going for walks in the countryside or relaxing with a good book.

Hi, I am Tereza and I have been teaching languages for two years now.

Ever since I fell in love with Spain (and with Granada) in 2018, my Spanish kept getting better, and in the end I made it the focus of my university studies.

I studied Romance Studies (Spanish and Portuguese) at Comenius University in Bratislava, and I fell in love a second time during my Erasmus stay in Andalusia, where my Spanish came on in leaps and bounds and where I made many friends and learned a great deal about the culture. Since coming back from Erasmus I have been teaching languages.

At Hispánica you will find me in the in-person and online lessons, mostly for beginners, where I will gladly pass on what I know — and gladly learn something new from you too :), because I believe everyone has something to say.

Outside my own field I feel very close to art in all its forms and to nature. I enjoy peace and quiet, but good company too.

Hi!

My name is Inés and I am Spanish. I love learning languages and sharing my culture with others, which is why I decided to take a master's degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language and become a teacher of my mother tongue.

I always try to make lessons fun and worthwhile; they are the perfect chance to ask about the Spanish-speaking world and find out about different ways of living.

In my free time I crochet, embroider and read, go hiking in the countryside or explore the city. But most of all I love travelling and meeting all kinds of people.

I speak Spanish, English and French, a little Arabic and rather less German. Right now I am also learning Czech.

¡Hola! My name is Ema and at Hispánica you will meet me in the beginner courses. I came to Spanish four years ago, when I moved to Zaragoza and worked as an au pair. Spanish grew on me, so I decided to go on studying it at the University of South Bohemia, on the Spanish for European and International Trade programme.

In my free time I do a lot of sport, mainly running and softball; I travel all over the world, or I read.

Besides Spanish I also speak Czech and English, and I am learning French.
