Instituto de Idiomas e Intercambio Cultural TLALOC's Mission Statement

TLALOC's main purpose is to become a leading language school in teaching Spanish as a second language for foreigners as same as bringing volunteers from abroad with the mere purpose of helping those communities who most need it. TLALOC strives to help both, the local and foreign students to learn the language in a highly and effective method, especially Spanish in the way it is spoken in Mexico and English for the Mexican students with a motivated method that is at an affordable price. We also promote mutual cultural experience from Mexico's poorest towns within the state of Morelos. That's why TLALOC offers different volunteering and internship opportunities as a plus so that the participants can help out in making a big difference in the sorrounding poor communities that arise every day in Cuernavaca's City and the state of Morelos, Mexico. All kinds of Donations are always welcome!
