English Connect<\/p><\/div>\n

Last year, I started working closely with some friends who have had a dream\u00a0for many years\u00a0to open their own English Academy\u00a0here in Caceres, Spain.\u00a0Last month, after many planning meetings and iterations of the business plan, we opened the doors of\u00a0English Connect! It is an amazing privilege to be part of helping a dream that these women have had for years become a reality.<\/p>\n

\n

Many of the students that I taught last year are coming to English Connect, and it is so wonderful to get to see them this year. I love welcoming the students who walk through the door and\u00a0interacting with\u00a0all of the\u00a0family\u00a0members. Each student has so much personality, and it\u2019s fun to get to know them more. It\u2019s great to be able to have the opportunity to not only teach them English, which we hope\u00a0will broaden their horizons for the\u00a0future, but also to tell them each and every day that they are special, unique and loved.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I have been able to use my Business degree in starting up this venture, which has been exciting, and I have also gained some valuable teaching experience. It is so neat to see how each one of us on the team has something unique to offer. When I first moved to Spain, I came to learn Spanish and teach English. I never would have thought that just a few years later, I would be\u00a0involved in creating a\u00a0new English Academy!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Opening this academy is the fulfillment of a dream!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
