About Your Host Teacher in Barcelona

Mónica is the founder and director of the Spanish Homestay Immersion Programme (SHIP), a division of Spanish Express. She’s Spanish and of Argentinian descent, and she was lucky enough to grow up in Menorca, the most amazing island on Earth. 

Having relocated to Barcelona for her initial university studies, Mónica made her way to London nearly 30 years ago — a city she fell in love with during her first visit at the age of 14. Currently, she divides her time between Spain and the UK to enjoy the best of both worlds.

“As a teacher, I have experienced the joy of achievement over the last two decades by measuring the success of the many students I have taught, from young ones to the young-at-heart.

I strongly believe that culture and language are inextricably linked and that a complete understanding of a language cannot be achieved without a thorough knowledge of its origin”.

 – Mónica Romero
