Meet the Business Owner
Aida R.
Business Owner
Soon after arriving to Canada from Colombia in 1998, Aida started teaching Spanish, as per her education in linguistics would entitle her. She begun to realize that most of the academic books she was using seemed a bit overwhelming for her students, so she decided to create her own books and make them as simple and efficient as possible, so students would
learn useful vocabulary, grammar, and conversation in less time. It was a complex project that took her about 7 years to complete. Today her workbooks,
in 9 different levels make the core of Hola’s program.
Aida’s passion for the language and Latin American culture as well as her love
for teaching is what has made Hola a unique place for learning the language.
Her vision from the beginning was to make her students experience the richness of her culture trough her classes, so they would enjoy learning Spanish in a
fun environment and get inspired to travel.
