I am a native of San Cristóbal de las Casas and have been a Spanish teacher for more than 20 years. I am patient and always ready to help my students with their learning process. I enjoy my job and it has become a great part of my life. I have already been teaching Spanish at Tierras Mayas for more than 10 Years!

Romeo Mendez

Spanish Language Teacher

I was born in Guatemala and am a member of the Mam indigenous group. At the age of four, I was brought to Mexico because of political conflict. Now I am the father of three children who are my source of inspiration in life. I speak Mam (an indigenous language), Spanish, and English. I have lived in the state of Oregon, United States and also in Basel, Switzerland.

I studied sociology at San Cristóbal de las Casas Faculty of Social Sciences. I studied English at the Autonomous University of Chiapas. I founded Tierras Mayas Spanish Language School San Cristóbal de las Casas in 2006. I am currently a Spanish teacher (21 years experience) and curriculum coordinator at Tierras Mayas Spanish Language School.

Finally, I can say that I love doing what I do!

         Spanish Language Teacher          

I’m 19 years old. I studied physics and math for a year and a half, but I realized that my true passion is languages.
Learning has always been one of my favorite things in life. I’m really into science, but I also love music, art, spirituality, and food.
I’m passionate about helping my students and sharing my love for Spanish and Mexican culture..
