About Me:I moved from Spain to the US in 2002. After beginning a corporate career, I began receiving requests to teach Spanish. I started teaching at local community organizations, and local colleges and universities.While realizing how much I enjoyed teaching, I also observed insufficiencies in the way Spanish is traditionally taught. These observations and the positive feedback from clients led me to open Studio Español in 2013. I love what I do and am passionate about teaching the beauty of the Spanish language and diverse Spanish speaking cultures. About Studio Español:We love to help people turn their passion for teaching Spanish into a thriving business. We have developed a franchise-able model with classes online and on-demand, and become the reference for Spanish language training. Our Studios have many applications - we help train adults, corporations, and school-age students, including people who do business in Spanish-speaking countries who want to be more productive through language training. My approach is focused on conversational Spanish, not the typical (boring) approach taught in most classrooms. We believe learning should be fun, engaging, and applicable. If you are interested in owning your own studio, we have made this process simple and attainable, and we will support you every step of the way. Owning a studio will open up the freedom and flexibility of choosing your desired curriculum and even set your own hours. We provide the training and resources you need to be successful in this venture. If you want more information, just reach out to me here on LinkedIn or at jfrias@studioespanol.com or 248-971-0465.
