Spanish Language School

Founded in 1979 by Antonio Valdez, the Spanish Language School aims to provide the Philadelphia area with high quality, affordable Spanish classes in a supportive and friendly atmosphere. We are committed to offering students classes that accommodate their needs and prepare them to be part of an increasingly globalized and Spanish-speaking society.... Whether one's goals are academic, professional or personal, our courses are designed to support students with the necessary language skills to help achieve them. Elizabeth Quintero has been the director of the Spanish Language School since 2006. She immigrated to the United States in 1991. Her interest and love for the Spanish language motivated her to specialize in the field and concentrate on developing the most effective way to teach it. Elizabeth has shared her enthusiasm and her Spanish language expertise for two decades. She is continuously looking for new approaches to bring new insights into Spanish culture. Elizabeth has provided translation services for the American Red Cross, instantaneous interpretation for public events, and served as an interpreter for immigration courts. In 2008, she gave a lecture for the Environmental Protection Agency about the growing importance of the Spanish language in Philadelphia.Read More
