Nerea from Spain
I am from Jaén, although I lived for many years in Salamanca, where I studied Spanish philology and Spanish language teaching and obtained a master’s degree in teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
I can also prepare you for the DELE and SIELE exams, as I specialise in all levels.
In my spare time I love going to the gym and watching TV series, but one of my biggest hobbies has always been travelling the world.
I am passionate about teaching Spanish because my students learn with me and I learn with them.
Marí Carmen from Spain
I consider myself a very energetic and positive person, steady and hard-working.
As for my tastes, I love to travel, I would love to go to Latin America and Greece again.
I value my family, spending time with them, enjoying them and my friends.
Alejandro from Colombia
I am from Colombia but I came to Poland a few years ago following a spontaneous decision to participate in an international programme where I taught English.
I fell in love with this country and decided to stay longer. Finding a new passion for teaching languages, I was delighted to join the LaMancha school to teach Spanish and share stories about Latin America that you won’t find in any textbook.
Privately, as a native Latino, I love music, playing guitar and singing. I also love cars and a good film. Amigos, see you in class!
Alberto from Cuba
I am a Cuban from Santiago de Cuba, a city known as the Second Capital of the Caribbean and also as the Hot Earth for its history, culture and religions.
In Cuba I trained as a psychologist, working for many years in a clinic.
Love brought me to Poland, a country whose history never ceases to captivate me.
I love music, I love salsa, rueda de casino dancing. I love to cook. I miss the warm waters of the beaches in my hometown very much.
Daniel from Spain
I was born in Alhaurín de la Torre, a village near Malaga. I lived there almost all my life and studied drama in Málaga.
I have always enjoyed theatre and performed several plays in an amateur theatre group in my village.
I also played rugby for a long time and later trained in historical fencing for several years. When I graduated during the pandemic, I signed up for a course as a recreation and leisure instructor at an association in my village.
Through this association I discovered the different types of Erasmus projects that exist, and after the pandemic ended I took part in my first project with a Turkish and Polish association. After finishing my studies and course, I was looking for an Erasmus project to see a bit more of the world.
Sergio from Spain
I was born in Salamanca, the land of ham par excellence. I studied
Spanish philology and a master’s degree in teaching Spanish as a foreign language at the University of Salamanca, an emblematic and very important place in the teaching of Spanish, where I met students from all over the world.
In addition, I specialise in DELE and SIELE examinations, both oral and written.
My main hobbies are exploring other cultures, reading and continuous learning.
I am a Spanish teacher and enjoy taking my culture with me wherever I go and learning as much as I can about the host country.
I love cinema and it will always be a pleasure for me to talk about books, films or food over a good coffee.
Daniel from Spain
I was born in Valle de Tobalina, a rural region in northern Spain.
I graduated in History and Artistic Heritage and worked in several museums and exhibitions in Burgos before moving to Belfast to become a tour guide.
During my experience as a guide, I had the opportunity to interact with the very unique cultural mix of Irish, British and Northern Irish and meet people from many different Spanish-speaking countries and backgrounds.
The outbreak of the pandemic gave me the opportunity to reflect on my past experiences and future prospects. This reflection led me into the world of language teaching, where I was able to exercise my love of interacting with and learning from people.
I completed my master’s degree in English language and literature at North Carolina State University.
Juan from Bolivia
I come from the heart of South America, Bolivia.
I teach and learn with students who give me joy, energy, desire to share their knowledge of Spanish. I am very motivated to teach.
Spanish language and Latin American culture is diverse and interesting. Hispanic culture is full of curiosities, customs, rituals and myths.
Learning Spanish must essentially be based on simple conversation about everyday topics, without pressure, in which the student will enjoy the language.
In this way, he or she will be motivated and eager to learn Spanish and discover new adventures and cultures through the Spanish language.
My hobbies are: reading, extreme sports, culture, work, cinema, theatre, music.
Rosario from Mexico
My name is Rosario, but you can call me Rosi or Maria. I am originally from Mexico.
I am a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language and a student at UNAM.
I love my language and my profession because I enjoy sharing my culture with people and also learning about others that exist around the world. It all started when I was volunteering with an organisation that gave me the opportunity to live in a universal environment, so I decided to stay in the same international atmosphere.
I try to combine my activities with something cultural from Spain, Mexico or Latin America, which makes it more interesting.
Laurent Michell from Colombia
I am 27 years old and I am from Colombia, I have been teaching Spanish as a foreign language for about 5 years, I started in 2019 after graduating in Professional Linguistics and Literature at the University of Cartagena in Colombia.
Among my hobbies are literature, travelling, watching series and movies, trying new foods and above all I love teaching Spanish to foreigners, I really enjoy my job because it allows me to learn about new cultures, I enjoy talking about different topics, with me you will learn everything you need to cope with your daily life.
By the way, we have a very important rule in my class, and that is that we can’t use the word 'Difficult’, let’s meet in our classes and I’ll tell you what you can say instead.

Ula
marketing specialist
I have always dreamt of having my own Spanish school. With a high level of services and with a Spanish-speaking atmosphere. With a mission to spread the rich and unknown culture of Spanish-speaking countries. A place that will become a representation of the Spanish-speaking world. A place full of Spanish language, culture, customs and energy.
In 2011, I founded in Gdynia, Poland the La Mancha Spanish Language Centre. Two years later, I became the first sworn Spanish translator in Gdynia. In 2017, my qualifications were recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and I was awarded the title of Polish translator in Spain.
I am a graduate in pedagogy and Spanish philology. However, my greatest passion is dance. And it was the desire to explore the secrets of flamenco that provoked me to learn Spanish. I love the melody of the language and the culture of the countries where it can be spoken. Spain and Spanish language and culture have stolen my heart.
In La Mancha I run office, deal with paperwork and schedule classes. I am the main point of contact for pupils.
I am a journalist and accountant by training. I’ve been copywriter since 2016 I’ve also provided online copywriting training, before that I worked as a journalist at Reuter’s agency and as a data analyst for Portuguese-speaking markets. I have my own brand offering handicrafts from around the world. I am also a partner of the British publishing house Usborne, and I run children’s book fairs in nurseries, kindergartens and schools with English as a leading language.
I have been involved with La Mancha since the beginning as a Portuguese language teacher. Since 2024 I have taken on a role of marketing and social media specialist in La Mancha.
