We are very proud of the dedication and commitment to excellence each of our Honduran teachers have shown. Many of our teachers have more than 15 years of experience teaching Spanish as a second language to missionaries and NGO volunteers. Our teachers are consistently learning and growing through quarterly workshops and their desire to be the best teachers they can be. Each of our teachers sees their work as a calling, and it shows in the quality of each class. They strive to see you succeed in your Spanish learning endeavors, no matter the setting or situation in which you will be applying your Spanish knowledge. They are truly the heart and soul of the Institute and they become family of those of who come through our doors.

Mark & Gaby Wolfe, Owners

Chris Weeks, Pastoral Counselor

Mark and Gaby Wolfe were passed down ownership from Michael and Barbe Wolfe in 2022, though they have been leading the school for much longer. When he returned to Honduras in 2016, Mark began to take on responsibilities in the school's management. In 2019, he and our teacher Gaby got married, and as a team they have continued to push SIH toward success and improvement. Their daughter Juliette was born in 2021 and serves as an adorable ball of sunshine for our students and teachers. 

​Chris and his wife, Alishia, moved to Honduras in 2014, and studying at the Spanish Institute for six months before beginning ministry. They currently live in San Pedro Sula with their three sons.  Currently, they serve with Sparrow Missions where Alishia is the director of sponsorship and Chris is the director of hosting short-term teams from all over the US. Chris is also the preaching elder and church planter at Kainos Christian Church in San Pedro Sula. As servants of Christ who have seen and experienced a lot, and learned even more through trials, failures, and successes, their desire is to help other missionaries while going through the vitally important step of language study.

Dana Argueta, Admin of Culture Bridge-Building

The Wolfe Family

​Dana is an educator with a background in elementary education and linguistic acquisition. She is serving with us as a full-time administrator, focusing on cultural bridge-building, missionary care, and student services. She is also overseeing our homeschool program, Puentes. Dana has been in Honduras since 2018, and understands the difficulties and joys that come with transitioning cultures, adapting to a new language, and experiencing Latin American in its fullest. The daughter of a Brazilian immigrant, she comes from a bicultural household herself, and fully understands the beauty of multicultural experiences, even when they come with challenges. She is elated to be able to help our students as they learn the same!

​The Wolfe family moved to Honduras full time in 2013 and in 2014 they took over the Spanish Institute of Honduras. Since then, the school has grown into one of the most respected language schools in Central America. Michael and Barbe Wolfe passed their ownership over to their eldest Mark and his wife Gaby in 2022. While the family does have other efforts in Honduras, the Institute continues to be their focal point and remains the central part of why they are in Honduras.
