Meet the Founder

Hi! Welcome to The Bogotá Spanish School!

P.S. That photo is of me and my husband and our 8-year old son!

Meet the Founder

I’m Alejandra Velasco, the founder of this school, and I’m delighted you’re considering learning Spanish with us. I have 16 years’ experience of teaching Spanish to learners from all over the world, from absolute beginner to near native. But I’ve also been in your shoes - I learned English as a student in London - so I know exactly what it feels like to experience both the ups and downs of learning a new language. 

That experience as a teacher and as a student shapes everything we do here at The Bogota Spanish School. Indeed, it’s why I created this school: to offer something different from the generic, one-size-fits-all approach of others. Here, lessons are tailored to you. We combine academic excellence with the flexibility and warmth of private tuition. Every programme is designed personally for you, whatever your level and ambitions. From day one, you’ll feel the difference. If you want Spanish that works for real life, with teachers who will share your journey with you, then welcome to our family.

So join us and make Spanish part of your world!

Our Philosophy

  • Our philosophy is simple: you are unique, and your Spanish lessons should be too! We specialise in one-to-one online classes, allowing us to dedicate ourselves entirely to your individual goals, learning style, and schedule. Whether you're dreaming of exploring Machu Picchu in Peru, sealing a business deal in Bogotá, connecting with Spanish-speaking friends or family, or simply wanting to learn a new skill, we're here to make that dream a reality.

    Our team is made up of highly qualified and enthusiastic native Spanish teachers, many holding Master's degrees in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. All our teachers are from Colombia (which is renowned for having one of the clearest, easiest accents in Latin America) and all of us have at least 15 years’ of first-hand teaching experience.  Over those years, we've had the pleasure of guiding hundreds of students from all around the world, from absolute beginners to advanced speakers, on their journey to fluency.

    We're flexible, but always focused. We'll work around your busy life, ensuring your lessons fit seamlessly into your routine. But rest assured, you'll always have a clear, structured path and consistent feedback to keep you making fantastic progress.  And your classes will be fun too!

    Come and learn Spanish. We can't wait to meet you!
