My name's Matias Villella. I've been working in the Administrative area of SET since June 2004. Right from my first day I've felt comfortable in the institute. I'm coming to the end of my Degree in Social Communication at the National University of Cordoba. As well as working and studying I am currently doing a course on Web Design, which I love. I'm really interested in tourism, which is why when I finish my Degree in Social Communication I'm planning to study Tourism.
I love music, especially Spanish Rock. I've been playing the guitar since I was 12, it's my anchor to the earth. I also really like soccer, basketball and photography.

My name's Nilda Castro. I'm in charge of the extra curricula activities at SET.
I'm a tour guide and obviously what I like more than anything else in the world is to travel. I also like to spend time with my baby Renata!!!
I've been working in SET-Idiomas for six months but it feels like years. Every week we have lots of activities for the students. The people who work with me are really friendly and a lot of fun.
What I like the most about my career is the fact that I'm able to help travellers get to know my country in the best possible way. What I like most about my job in SET is going with the students to the mountains and going with them to CHE Guevaras house.
Oh, I almost forgot... I really like to sing tango!

My name's Silvina Morales. In 1992 I spent one year in Germany on a cultural exhange. It was there perhaps that I discovered my calling; to become a Spanish Teacher. When I got back to Cordoba I began teaching Spanish to students and German tourists. All the while studying Social Communication. Some time later I began working as a Spaninsh Teacher in SET-Idiomas. At the moment I'm the Academic Co-ordinator. I am about to finish my Master's Degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language.
What I like most about teaching Spanish is learning from my students and contributing my “little bit” to the understanding between countries. I love to travel, spend time with my family and friends, the outdoors, art, swimming and tango.

I like teaching Spanish to people from various countries because I'm really interested in getting to know about other cultures and in sharing my own.
The things that stand out about me are my sincerity, my solidarity and my positive attitude. On the downside; maybe I'm a bit of a dreamer...

My name's Susana Barrionuevo. I'm about to finish my degree as a German Translator. I've been teaching Spanish to foreigners since 1997.
I like to teach Spanish as I find it to be an enriching experience. I try not only to teach the language but also our culture, current events and sometimes a little bit of Argentinian history. I believe that you get to know a language better when you know the culture and the people who speak it.
I'm quite demanding but I'm also very patient. I love it when there's a bit of humour in the classroom, that's why I sometimes use anecdotes to get my point across. Furthermore I love literature and I try to share a little bit of Latin American literature with my students.
Second Language: German
