Through her years of teaching, she has developed the "Communicative Approach" that is unique to her school. Further, she has developed a wide network of professional teachers and translators who have been attracted to Conversa not only because of the teaching approach, but also because of the stimulating and engaging atmosphere of the school.
At Conversa, Glenda's dedication to, and involvement in, the Latin American community inspires others also to get involved. Glenda's strong interest in social justice, humanitarian projects and cultural exchange translate into a wealth of activities and opportunities for both teachers and students alike. The relaxed, yet stimulating and professional environment of the school is a direct result of the dynamic personality of Conversa's founder!
