Leidy Arenas

Leidy is from Colombia. While studying Business Administration, she was building a career in the financial sector as a Commercial Director for HSBC Colombia.

In 2014 she decided to leave Colombia in search of new adventures and experiences, settling in Prague a few years later. She started to teach Spanish by chance and discovered how rewarding the world of teaching is and so she decided to train for a professional teaching qualification and certification at the Cervantes Institute of Prague. As a Spanish teacher, she has worked on her own project teaching Spanish to mothers and children, has taught many one-to-one lessons and has taught Spanish in both a public and an international school in Prague.

As a teacher, Leidy’s goal is to have her students learn in a practical and dynamic way, bringing Hispanic culture into the classroom as much as possible.

Outside work, Leidy is a mother of two beautiful, confident, Spanish speaking children. She looks for any opportunity to escape into nature and very much enjoys walking and hiking and doing her best to live in the present moment. As a Colombian of course she misses the culture, music and fresh fruit, but she is happy and proud to be living in Prague, having a family and raising her children here.
