Schoolyear 2021 - 2022

Howdy! My name is Courtney. I was born and raised in Flower Mound, Texas, just north of Dallas. I have a pretty big family, and we are very close, so it was hard to leave them (and my dog Sophie!) behind in Texas, but I am excited for them to come visit me in Madrid.

I graduated in May 2021 from Texas A&M University with a degree in History, and I plan on becoming a full-time teacher after my time in Spain. One of my favorite things to do is travel; I have traveled quite a lot with my younger sister and my family, but this is the first time I have ever been to Spain! I am looking forward to visiting many different parts of the country to learn as much as I can about Spanish culture as well as to share my own culture!

Some of my other hobbies are exploring local cafés and parks, reading, listening to music, and watching movies and tv series with my friends. I also love watching sports, especially tennis and basketball.

I am so excited to be spending the next year as a language assistant at Francisco de Goya!

 

Hello, I’m Liam! I was born in Breckenridge, Colorado and moved to Bozeman, Montana after finishing high school. I studied Psychology at Montana State University. I love skiing, hiking, reading, rock climbing and playing the guitar! I also love to travel and have visited more than twenty-five countries between Europe, North/Central America and Southeast Asia.

 This is my second time living in Spain; I lived and studied in Barcelona for nine months when I was seventeen and I fell in love with the country and the culture!

I have three older brothers and an older sister. They all live in Colorado except one brother who lives in San Diego, California. One of my brothers has a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter and my sister has a one-year-old son and is expecting another in February!

Although I have done a lot of work with teens in the past, this will be my first time working as an English teaching assistant and I couldn’t be more excited for the opportunity!
