Meet your teachers
Christian Tun tun
Spanish teacher
Originally from a small Mayan-descendant village in southeastern Mexico, I am an educator with a passion for teaching and a strong background in leadership. My career has required me to adapt to diverse contexts, from teaching in formal settings to implementing educational projects in emergency situations.
During my experience in non-profit organizations, I worked in various educational roles and with diverse student populations. One of my most significant professional experiences was as an educational interventionist for children and adolescents on Mexico’s northern border. This has allowed me to learn to implement different teaching strategies tailored to different contexts.
In my career as a Spanish teacher, I have facilitated learning at levels ranging from beginner to advanced in both the United States and Mexico. I have used dynamic methodologies that encourage active participation and practical language learning both in person and online.
This accumulation of experiences has led me to become interested in developing a new language project that goes beyond traditional teaching. A project aimed at developing communication skills by integrating art and culture as learning vehicles, connecting two worlds and generating genuine mutual understanding.
Iveet Montiel Yáñez
Spanish teacher
I am a native of the State of Mexico, born in the State of Mexico. My family also comes from the state of Veracruz. I studied in Mexico City. I am a teacher by training and vocation. I am passionate about the arts, culture, languages, and education. I studied Education with a focus on Mexican dance at the National Institute of Fine Arts. My professional career continued in Baja California Sur, where I worked as a professor of arts leading a group and later as a coordinator, leading arts workshops in rural areas of the state. I have had artistic, educational, and cultural experiences both within the country and abroad.
I began my involvement with languages during a stay in Montreal in 2022, where I was immersed in three different languages. It was here that I reaffirmed the connection between language learning and culture. Since then, I have been professionalizing my teaching work, now in Spanish.
As co-founder of SoyColectivA , an initiative that promotes socially conscious folk art in Tocuaro de Erongaricuaro, Michoacán, I have worked closely with communities to promote projects that integrate dance and textile art. I am thrilled to be part of the founding team of Ne’ek Kajal (Seeds of the People in the Mayan language), a collaboration with the community of Tahmek, Yucatán, whose name means “Place of the Strong Embrace.” We will work with art as an educational vehicle for social transformation.
