Spanish for Business and Life was created in 2006 by Juan Carlos Jurado. After teaching Spanish for 6 years at Baruch College, he saw many students were able to recite rules of the language, but were unable to speak more then a few sentences. Juan Carlos saw a need for a personalized and more flexible method of learning. The method he developed involves his students in real life situations from the first meeting. Although the rules of grammar are important, students practicing their speaking skills are the first priority.
The company prides itself in delivering the highest level of service and language training, citing that it is always willing to go further to accommodate customers needs. Since clients are the driving force behind improving services, the company takes pride in the success of its students
