Linguo Language Labs didn't begin for me as just another project. It connects deeply with my own story — how I learned languages, how I learned to teach, and how I came to believe that communication should be human, practical, and empowering.

Hi, I'm Alfonso, and I'm excited to step into my new role as Director of Studies at Linguo Language Labs.

I grew up in Los Angeles between two languages and two cultures. At home, everything was Spanish. Outside, everything was English. From an early age, I experienced what it means to navigate a second language — the uncertainty, the misunderstandings, and eventually, the confidence that comes when communication starts to feel natural rather than forced.

That experience shaped how I teach and how I lead.

Over the past 17+ years, I've worked with professionals around the world — from Guadalajara to Manchester, Tarragona, and beyond. I also ran my own English academy in Spain for six years, where I learned firsthand what works, what doesn't, and what learners truly need. Working across industries and cultures taught me something fundamental: English doesn't need to be rigid, academic, or stressful. It works best when it's practical, human, and connected to how people actually communicate.

That philosophy aligns perfectly with Linguo Language Labs.

What excites me most about Linguo is its commitment to people. Our teachers are our most valuable asset. Our learners are not products. And our goal is not perfection — it's meaningful communication that creates opportunity.

I'm genuinely excited to work alongside such a thoughtful, international community of educators, professionals, and learners. Together, we're building something that respects language as a living, human tool — not a set of rules to memorize.

I'm looking forward to collaborating, learning from one another, and helping shape the future of language education at Linguo Language Labs.
