At the end of the course, they will build their own dialogues with all the phrases learned during all the sessions. There will be audios for each class, so they could keep practicing to improve their listening along the 5 weeks.

ABOUT Mercy Zolla

I am a professional in business administration, with an MBA, working as a Bank Branch Manager for over 18 years. After moving to Leesburg from Peru in 2017, I continued to work in banking with a personal goal of becoming Branch Manager in America. Currently, I am a Senior Relationship Banker at Truist Bank. Due to my position, I have the opportunity to help hispanic people improve their financial well-being by helping them overcome the language barrier.

I teach Spanish for Travelers to English speakers to help them have better access to real experiences in Latin countries. Additionally, a new passion of mine is to teach about Pre-Incan civilizations in Peru since the Inca civilization’s architecture, Machu Picchu, is appreciated as one of the Wonders of the World.
