Bio: I am Pilar Casanova, and I have been teaching (and translating En/Sp) for over 22 years with great passion, through both in-person and online lessons. I regard teaching as a way of sharing some piece of experience, and that's why I usually adapt each class to every student's requirements. The best about teaching is getting to know other people's cultures; since that's language, after all. My students ages range from 3 to 60, and their interests from travelling to preparing congress papers, etc. I am also learning Chinese and Korean, which I enjoy a lot, but it also puts me in the role of the student.
