He has been with ILISA for a total of 6years. Irán is the
local prankster of the school. He is always ready with a joke to
lighten up a situation. He works as a professor because, as he will
tell you, he loves to teach. Judging from the student's very positive
response to his classes, it shows in his work.

participates in theater and dance performances. She also has a Master's

to the class room as well, as she features a very dynamic classroom
with as much conversation as possible.

ILISA after a 4 year absence. In his free time, he enjoys playing
basketball, the theater and reading.
 Rebeca
Cabrera Navarro says, "One of the most important experiences
of working as a teacher at ILISA is the satisfaction of not just
teaching, but also learning about students and their cultures and
customs, and understanding their goals and trying to help them reach
them." In her free time, Rebecca enjoys reading and listening
to music.
 Harold
Herrera Gómez earned his degree in English and Spanish
at the University of Costa Rica. He ended up teaching Spanish because
he "fell in love with (his) language." When he started
teaching 7 years ago, his first students were Japanese. They taught
him that communication is much more than grammar and helped him
develop his teaching philosophy: people learn to communicate by
communicating.
