TEACHERS MADRID
After more than 12 years in the teaching business in Madrid we have noticed the following things:
- foreign teachers coming to Spain all face the same problems and have the same questions.
- There is little to no help available online. Just a few websites with bits of useful information on each.
- Everyone: teachers, academies, schools and clients, would benefit if things were easier or done faster.
So, we decided to try to help and create Teachersmadrid.es. A website for all teachers in Madrid for them to:
- try to gather all the information in one site for easy and quick reference by teachers and centers.
- Allow academies to post advertisements (with a quarterly fee).
A nice way for teachers to find them. - Provide a forum for teachers to ask questions, do networking and help each other.

But, when teachers go […]

I’ve been saying for ages we have a sword of Damocles on top of us: the biggest tech. companies out there are running a race to see who brings out a universal translator first. They have the money, they have the resources, and the motivation. AI and Big Data are there to help them. Developing […]
