About Us

INCLUSIVE AND HOLISTIC APPROACH SERVICE

Pachamama Latin School is an unique independent and immersive Spanish language service, with a holistic educative approach, in which learning experiences such as cooking, gardening, music, dancing, juggling are taught in Spanish.

Participants are fully immersed in the target language for most of the lesson or day

The service is situated in Lismore Area.

We offer private tuition in group setting from preschoolers to adults.

Run by an experienced and highly qualify Teacher, coming from Latin cultural background.

We promote a holistic education based on environmental consciousness, encouraging eco-friendly practices. We believe that care for our environment should be a shared responsibility, and as we are part of a community, we should contribute to the well-being of our surrounding lands and our planet.

We facilitate a fun, flexible, and respectful atmosphere for sharing and learning in a small group setting, one on one or larger groups in educational centres and schools, in order to develop and improve Spanish language skills.

We believe our participants are able to develop and improve different skills while they are learning Spanish in an immersive way.

Paulette Jaque

Art facilitator

I am Chilean, I have been living in Australia for the last 5 years, I am passionate about what I do in life and with a great love for cultural diversity. I studied Anthropology in South America 13 years ago, I focused my studies in Andean cultural such as; music, songs, dances and ancestral textiles, also and not less important, I had the opportunity to learn and understand the knowledge of astronomy of the Andean world. I obtained this knowledge by being immersed in different communities such as Peru - Cusco, Bolivia - Titicaca, Ecuador - Otavalo and Colombia - Pasto.

These days the Andean culture is working towards to keep its traditions from being lost and to be transmitted from generation to generation, delivering strong values and awareness of the importance of ancient culture's preservation.

How?

I will give you techniques for a good sound of the instrument, rhythms and beats.

What do we want to achieve?
