Alberto Monteagudo Canales is an excellent professor. Extremely helpful when it comes to questions in class, he will go out of his way to answer them. [...] The layout of having him teach something, then do an exercise with a partner works very well.

Alberto is a great professor, I took him for Spanish 101 and 102 and received A's in both. He's very helpful and a great teacher. Classes are mandatory and absences can count against you after so many.
Our Teaching Philosophy
If we had to summarize our teaching philosophy in a sentence, we would say that we want to make a dent in the life of our students, making them part of the English, Hispanic, or Chinese world.
To achieve that, we always bring enthusiasm, dynamism, and cultural elements into our courses, while we use the latest technology, as well as other initiatives outside the classroom, to reinforce the learning experience of our students.
The results are quite positive, as we enable our students to acquire language skills in a manner that keeps them interested and motivated to continue learning the target language even when the course finalizes.
