OUR TEAM IN OTTAWA

MEET OUR INCREDIBLE STAFF!

Since day one, Vamos Spanish Academy has been dedicated to providing Spanish language online education in Ottawa that is not only enjoyable and fun, but also academically sound and grounded in contemporary evidence-based understandings of language learning. Our ability to fulfill these challenging goals is thanks entirely to our incredible staff.

Clara Rodríguez Roberts

ACADEMIC DIRECTOR

Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Agustina has a degree in Spanish-English translation. Agus also brings years of language teaching experience to Vamos Academy. Fluent in 3 languages (Spanish, English and Portuguese), she understands very well the challenges in language learning faced by both sides—as a student and as a teacher. She is responsible for every student’s level assessment, class planning, and the preparation of study materials. She also works closely with our teachers to ensure that the progress of each class is on track, and that students’ needs are met.

Romina

MANAGER

Romina has many years of experience in team management and international live performance productions. As the manager of Vamos Academy, she wears many hats overseeing the daily operations of the school. Her main objective is to make sure that we are delivering an enjoyable, immersive experience of the language throughout the overall online learning experience. If you have a tough or odd question, she is definitely the one to talk to!

Derek

SPANISH PROGRAM ADVISOR

Originally from Wisconsin, USA, Derek graduated with a BA in Spanish and International Studies. Once a study abroad student himself and an English instructor, he enjoys working with students from all over the world looking to live the Spanish language and discover something new. Derek is the point person who will help you with questions and get you ready for our Spanish course before starting your classes, and the liaison for any queries or needs during your learning process.

VIKI

NON-SPANISH PROGRAM ADVISOR

Viki advises all those students interested in learning English, French and Portuguese. Her main objective is the satisfaction of the students and she is always ready to guide them from the beginning of the learning process of these languages. We are happy to have Viki in our team to work with any spanish-speaking students who want to learn a foreign language with a native teacher without having to travel far.
