My name is Nancy Penaloza, and I am the founder of Nova Spanish. I am a native Spanish speaker from South America. I am a Mechanical Engineer with an MBA and a Teaching Certificate in Spanish. I have been in business since 2017.

​

While living in my country, I held executive positions in different industry fields. I spent over 20 years leading teams, encouraging others, and assisting them in reaching their goals. That experience taught me to motivate, inspire, guide, and coach others. 

​

During my English learning, I realized that second language acquisition is a process that must be centered on the student’s needs, interests, and goals.

​

I have a genuine enthusiasm and passion for teaching. My cultural awareness and intercultural competence are valuable assets in creating an inclusive and respectful learning environment for students from diverse backgrounds.

​

My corporate experience and Spanish Teaching studies allow me to provide you with the best Spanish learning experience.

I will help you connect to the Hispanic world.
