I spent the next few years dividing my time between Guatemala and college in Vermont, working up my Spanish skills. While I did major in Spanish and Education, I credit the brutally honest Guatemalan kids with teaching me Spanish. Believe me--I felt just as frustrated and confused as you might be feeling right now. Learning a new language is not easy.

I worked for almost 5 years in a nonprofit in Guatemala City, tutoring Spanish students on the side. But in 2022, I decided to go all-in with Spanish with Sophie. And now, I’ve been able to work with over 100 students from over 6 countries.
