We are a cooperative school

Meet Your Teachers

At our school, teaching is more than just a profession, it’s a personal commitment. One of the things that truly makes us different is that we are a cooperative school, which means that every teacher you meet is also a co-owner of the school.

This means our teachers are personally invested in the quality of every class, the success of every student, and the future of the school itself. They are not simply following a curriculum; they actively shape the learning experience, bringing enthusiasm, professionalism, and years of experience into the classroom every day. Because the school belongs to the people who teach in it, you will notice a different atmosphere from the very beginning: more commitment, more care, and a more personal approach to learning.

When you study with us, you are learning with people who truly love what they do and who take pride in helping students achieve their goals while sharing not only the language, but also the culture, values, and human connection behind it.

Manuela Aparicio Sanz

I have a degree in Hispanic Philology, specializing in Spanish as a foreign language, and I’ve been teaching in Spain and Italy for more than twenty years. I like creating a friendly and fun atmosphere where humor, creativity, and collaboration make learning feel natural.

Besides teaching, I created the blog lenguajeayotrasluces.com, a personal project about language, literature, and creativity. I especially enjoy creating my own teaching materials and resources, adapted to each group and each way of learning.

Laura Domingo Vera

I’m Laura, and before becoming a Spanish teacher, I worked in several museums, including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, where I led tours for children.

I have a degree in Art History and also studied Asian Studies, which is why I learned Chinese and traveled to China several times. As a child, I wanted to be Indiana Jones. I really like English, I love reading science fiction, and I played volleyball for many years.

Sergio Ojeda Rodríguez

I’m Sergio, one of the founders of Cronopios. We started the cooperative 14 years ago with the aim of bringing dignity to a profession that was often undervalued and teaching our language and culture from a different perspective.

I’ve always loved languages and everything related to them, so besides teaching, I’ve worked as a translator and interpreter. I really enjoy reading, playing games, and singing, although since my daughter was born four years ago, I hardly have time for anything that doesn’t involve her.

Beatriz Velázquez del Pozo

I’ve been teaching Spanish for more than 15 years. I studied Hispanic Philology, Linguistics, and a Master’s degree in Language and Communication Sciences. I’m passionate about languages! 💗 I’ve worked in Japan, Argentina, and Spain. Studying Japanese has helped me better understand the difficulties that can arise when learning such a different language and to develop clear, visual ways of explaining grammar.

In my classes, I try to create a calm and friendly atmosphere where students can gradually build their confidence. I like using drawings, diagrams, and examples to make learning more intuitive and dynamic. Outside the classroom, I enjoy creative activities such as crochet, a hobby that connects closely with the way I teach: with patience, attention to detail, and weaving connections. 😊

Clara Molero Perea

Everyone in my family calls me Clara María. From a very young age, I knew that teaching languages was what I wanted to do, so I studied Hispanic Philology at the University of Alcalá. I spent half my life in the Balkans because my other great passion is traveling and learning languages—that’s why I speak the language of Ivo Andrić and Yorgos Seferis.

I’ve been working at Cronopios, my home, for a decade. The Spanish classroom is my therapy; I really enjoy teaching, and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Luisa Bellido Florido

Born in Seville, Granadan at heart, and an adopted Madrileña, I’ve been part of the Cronopios Idiomas team for 8 years. I’m a teacher by vocation because I love helping others learn my language and teaching them about its culture.

I’ve also spent my whole life learning languages, so I understand my students’ feelings very well. That’s why empathy and understanding are essential in my classes.
