Jean Hnytka B.Sc., M.A. Jean (locally known as Juanita ) has worked in Spanish speaking countries and travelled and worked throughout Mexico over the last 22 years. Due to her love of the language and culture of Spanish America, she has spent extended periods of study and play throughout Central America, South America and Spain . She's been a Yelapa regular visitor since 1989. 1999 she began teaching English here, which rapidly evolved to the full time school - Yelapa English Spanish Institute with the homestay (home stay) and guided tours. She's worked as a teacher in Canada , Mexico and Portugal . In addition to language instruction, she's worked with students with learning difficulties, and has studied linguistics and language acquisition. Her approach to helping you learn Spanish quickly is to learn simple grammar units, to build up vocabulary through exercises, games and songs, and to learn to string these simple constructs through practical activities. You'll be surprised how quickly you'll be reading and speaking! YESI school creates a healthy, happy environment where students learn best. It's a few minutes above the village, with wonderful ocean views, and surrounded by trees. It's a tranquil spot with the beauty of nature as your classroom. Since the people of Yelapa are a principle reason she began YESI, she has developed many relationships with a wonderful “family” of villagers, who have opened their homes generously to the students through the YESI homestay (home stay). You instantly have a family and can enjoy some of the best meals in Mexico shared with laughter and Spanish conversation.
