Tierras Mayas prioritizes experience, command of grammar, and love of teaching

Berenice

Spanish Language Teacher 

I have a law degree, and have been teaching for nine years. I especially like it when a student is able to feel comfortable using Spanish. I love exploring the wonderful restaurants and food stands in San Cristobal. I enjoy yoga and running half marathons.

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!
