About Network of Independent Spanish Teachers, Inc.

Student spotlight: meet jovana

"[My friend] was very happy [with his teacher] and progressed so quickly, which motivated me...."

Jovana is a pharmacist in Switzerland. She is “learning Spanish because [she] find[s] it to be the most beautiful language, and it’s also useful for [her] travels in Spain and Latin America. [Her] aunt and uncle are retiring in Spain, and [she] love[s] visiting them at least once a year.”  


She chose a NETIST independent Spanish teacher who was highly recommended by a friend: “I was backpacking in Guatemala when I met a friend who was taking classes with Jackie. He was very happy and progressed so quickly, which motivated me to continue learning Spanish with her online even after I returned to Switzerland.”  


Jovana has “traveled to Central America and frequently visit[s] Spain. Knowing Spanish has greatly enhanced [her] travels by allowing [her] to communicate with locals, understand cultural nuances, and fully enjoy [her] experiences. [She] plan[s] to return to South America for backpacking, and being able to speak Spanish will help [her] connect with people, explore more freely, and enrich [her] travel adventures.” 

 
Jovana has a favorite word in Spanish: “As in every language, my favorite word is viaje (journey/trip), which has also been a challenge to pronounce as a native French speaker.”

  

Join Jovana on her Spanish-language learning journey! Choose one of our professional independent Spanish teachers from the Instructors page on this website to review her profile and contact her for your free 30-minute trial lesson. Get started today!    

The Network of Independent Spanish Teachers, Inc.

We are a nonprofit organization helping independent Spanish teachers in Guatemala. We are NOT a Spanish language school. The independent Spanish language teachers listed here offer you high-quality, low-cost Spanish classes. One hundred percent (100%) of the money you pay for classes goes directly to the teachers.

How little does it cost?

Classes with the participating teachers in NETIST, Inc. cost only $12 USD per hour.

The Network of Independent Spanish Teachers, Inc. is  a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of female independent Spanish teachers in Antigua, Guatemala.  


The $12 (USD) per hour price point was set after we researched the prices of the better Spanish schools and academies in Antigua. Most charge $15 to $18 per hour of instruction while paying their instructors only $2.50 to $4 per hour. One hundred percent of what you pay with our nonprofit organization goes directly to the teacher. Furthermore, the teachers pay nothing to participate in our organization.


Can you find cheaper Spanish instruction? Yes, but you need to ask yourself, "If I'm paying $10 per hour (or less) for Spanish instruction, how little is my teacher earning?" 


Our mission is to help female independent Spanish teachers earn a dignified, living wage. Be part of the solution of improving the lives of these hard-working women and learn the valuable and enriching skill of speaking Spanish!
