Fundación Bolívar Education

I studied for two months with Professor Milton Romero Obando, who teaches Latin American literature at Universidad Técnica Cotopaxi. I had to prepare for a masters exam in Spanish and Latin American literature. We studied a breathtaking variety of literature and cinema, crossing a thousand years and two different continents. Long story short: I passed my masters exam with flying colors, and with Milton I took a fascinating, in-depth journey through history, language, literature and cinema. Honestly, I think Professor Romero was the most qualified person I could have found to guide me on this journey. We met online every day, Monday - Friday, for one to two hours. My language skills improved dramatically (speaking, comprehending, reading, writing), and I gained profound insights into more than 30 works of literature and 15 films.

I'm incredibly grateful for my experience with Fundación Bolívar Education. Not only did I significantly improve my Spanish but I had the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the Ecuadorian culture. The teachers are kind and patient. They meet you at your skill level and give you the knowledge and confidence you need to succeed. The experiences were life changing, and I will forever be grateful for my time in Ecuador.

Loved my three weeks studying with Monica. She tailored each class to me and was soooo patient and generous with her teaching. Always kind and focused. Couldn’t recommend the team at the foundation more. Thank you!
