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.

Dana Robinson, Admin of Culture Bridge-Building
 Don and Debbie Lynn, Student Body Pastors
|
Dana is an educator with a background in elementary education and linguistic acquisition. Starting June 2021, she will be 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!
Pastors Don and Debbie Lynn have first-hand experience of the transitions to language school and then the mission field, as they were students of ours who graciously offered to come back and meet with our current students. They love being able to encourage and equip our students during this formative time of learning a new language and culture! Don served as Executive Pastor of their home church in Idaho before following the call of God to the mission field in 2016. They both have pastored and counseled couples and families for many years. They have two amazing daughters who both still live in Idaho. |
The Wolfe Family, Owners
|
The Wolfe family moved to Honduras full time in 2013, and in 2014 they took over the Spanish Institute of Honduras. They have been running it as a family ever since, and also began other projects and business. Since then, the school has grown into one of the most respected language schools in Central America. Michael and Barbe Wolfe serve as the owners of the Institute, while their oldest son Mark is the head administrator who takes care of the day-to-day. In June of 2019, Mark married his wife Gaby who is a teacher with us. The next two sons, Ben and Thomas, mainly support the well and water projects in the communities of Honduras. And finally, there's Carlitos, whom the family has had since he was three weeks old and is currently in the process of adopting. While the family does stay busy, the Institute continues to be their focal point and remains the central part of why they are in Honduras.
