Paz Moreno P.

Teacher & Creative Director

¡Hola! My name is Paz and I am from Chile. I love cinema, travel and languages. Teaching Spanish is my life and I consider it a precious space that I constantly appreciate, care for and question.

I studied Hispanic Philology, Literature, and Linguistics -yup, nerdy nerdy- and later I did a Master's in Gender Theory and Cultural Studies. I have a certificate in Art History and I studied one year of Psychology.

I love learning and understanding how we learn.

I have worked as a teacher for 15 years. I have taught classes in schools, private and public institutions, at the university and institutes with students of all ages.

I think education is the only hope for the future that we actually have in our hands in the present. And it is never too late.

I worked as a Spanish teacher in many different countries, because in 2016, with my husband Mauricio and my cat Ulises, we sold all our things, we quitted our jobs (well... the cat never worked) and we went to travel for a year in Europe, where we taught Spanish and English in Poland, Italy, Serbia and Croatia.

During that period I went to Salamanca, Spain, to study the specific training for Teaching Spanish for Foreigners (ELE). I have had hundreds of students and great experiences thanks to them (for example being invited to a VIP party with Depeche Mode ...).

After that we traveled to Sydney and stayed there for many many years. Here I have been growing my group of dear students and also many projects came up, as my published book "Español en 5 minutos". (you can get a copy of the ebook, just ask me how!)

I always put into my classes respectful gender perspective and I work to create safe and trustworthy spaces where is easy to learn about yourself and be more conscious while we are learning a new language.

I teach a Spanish language that goes beyond grammar, that encourage to think, connect, make questions and changes.

It is possible, necessary and fun.

Despite the fact that our life has changed a lot in a few years, Ulises, my cat, continues doing basically the same thing as always: sleeping and eating. This situation stayed exactly like that, until we got his brother Perseo, an Aussie cat, who is very sweet and also refuses to do anything else than sleep and receiving cuddles from all of us.
