Fluento's Spanish teachers are professional language instructors, dedicated to teaching the Spanish language to international students. Most have attended university, studying in a wide variety of fields, in addition to having a certificate as a teacher of Spanish as a second language. They are also well versed in Latin American culture, history, politics and society and enjoy sharing their experiences with students as part of the class content.
