About Us
Spanish To Move®
We are an educational company founded in 2013 with one mission: to help people worldwide learn Spanish naturally and confidently—while enjoying every step of the journey. Our slogan says it all: "Learn Spanish online: it's time to move forward!"
Our courses are designed by specialists to ensure long-lasting, meaningful progress. From day one, you’ll start communicating with confidence, while discovering the richness of the Spanish language and culture. We follow the natural (direct) method, based on how we all learn our first language—through immersion, intuition, and real interaction.
Lessons are taught fully in Spanish, with a focus on speaking, listening, intuitive grammar, and real-life vocabulary—because you learn best by using the language, not by memorizing it.
A Mission Born From Experience
Luis and Blanca Pelayo—siblings, educators, and native Spanish speakers—created Spanish To Move® after years of testing language systems. They wanted to offer a clear, simple, and effective method that removes complexity and brings the language to life through context and emotion.
Blanca (our Academic Director) is a psychologist with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico. She is a certified teacher of Spanish as a foreign language, with extensive experience in education, learning strategies, collaborative learning, developing personal skills with NLP, the teacher's role as a consultant, teaching models, person-centered education, and emotional development. She’s also a writer and committed volunteer, having led initiatives for seniors, migrants, and social causes across Mexico.
Luis (our CEO) holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and a Master’s in Cultural Criticism. He spent over a decade as a university professor at Tecnológico de Monterrey and served as editor-in-chief for several major publications. A published author, Luis has recently expanded into the world of AI-powered social listening, where he specializes in transforming data into brand intelligence, reputation insights, and deep consumer understanding. His passion lies in designing purpose-driven, emotionally resonant learning experiences, grounded in active learning and instructional design.
