What is your favorite travel memory?

My favorite travel memory is when I went to Thailand. I was able to learn some words and phrases in the language and even communicate with the locals, and this was a really cool experience. I also got the chance to discover an Asian country and its culture, which is so different from anywhere I had been to before.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

Since joining Euroace, I would say that I feel more prepared to face different situations in the classroom.

Every class has a different group dynamic and this means, as a teacher, you have to adapt to the class environment to make it an effective learning experience. I would also say getting to know international students has made me more open-minded and a more tolerant person.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

I have taught many students this year who have been referred to Euroace by past students of ours. For example, one Brazilian couple returned to take a Spanish course in January and the lady brought her sister with her from Brazil to study Spanish too. Another instance is a boy we have on our Beginner's Spanish course right now who had been recommended to attend after his cousin came to study with us. The fact that they recommended the school shows they must have had a very good learning experience at Euroace.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I suppose this depends on each person's preference and what they want to do. I believe that the best experience would be to take Spanish classes and, at the same time, take another program to practice the Spanish you learn in the classroom in a different setting as well. This would mean that you get to have both the academic and practical experience of learning Spanish.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

I think a big thing that makes Euroace different is the flexibility of the programs it offers.

We have the ability to adapt to every student's requirements and every student's profile. This means they get a unique abroad experience with us and we work hard as a team to provide the best service for them.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

I think that to be a successful company you have to know the demand of your clients and then work hard to provide this. You must take into account what the customer wants and all the things they may need, and then you need to try to create an attractive product for them. And, of course, you need a dedicated team to make this happen!
