About the Presenter:
Rene Garcia is a passionate Spanish instructor and founder of El Café Loco, a Spanish language academy dedicated to immersive and engaging learning experiences. His journey began in the world of customer service, where he developed exceptional communication skills, a strong sense of empathy, and a deep understanding of human connection. Through this experience, he discovered his true vocation for service and education, realizing that helping others learn and grow was his true calling.
Inspired by this passion, Rene became a teacher in Bolivia, refining his ability to make learning accessible and enjoyable. Two years ago, he immigrated to the United States with the dream of sharing his language and culture with a broader audience. Combining his background in customer service and education, he created innovative teaching methods that make learning both effective and fun.
A key element of his approach is gamification—integrating interactive challenges, rewards, and engaging activities that transform learning into an exciting experience. Alongside music, storytelling, and real-life conversations, this method helps students stay motivated, retain information better, and develop confidence in their Spanish skills.
Now, through Spanish Summer Sounds, Rene brings his passion for education, music, and gamification together, helping students learn Spanish in a dynamic and memorable way.
