# Así son los auxiliares de conversación de Zola Villafranca

Desde principios de curso se han incorporado, un año más, a las clases del Colegio Zola Villafranca de Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria, ocho auxiliares de conversación que provienen de diferentes países. Para poder conocerlos un poco más, han decidido presentarse mediante una pequeña reseña que ellos mismo han llevado a cabo:

![auxiliares-villafranca](https://colegiozolavillafranca.es/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Auxiliares-Villafranca-300x225.jpg)*Fila de atrás: Cian Hackett Cantabrana, Sarah Sculnick, Alissa Le Voir y Kelly Matzke. Fila de delante: Rochelle Peterson, Lauren Grimes, Jackie Koester y Tess Chardiet.*

My name is** Cian** and I’m from Greystones, a small town in County Wicklow, located 20 km south of Dublin. This is my 5th year in Spain.  My mother is originally Spanish so **I moved over to see more of my family and get to know more about Spanish culture.** I have lived in Valladolid, Huesca and Pontevedra but I decided to move to Madrid to know more about the Spanish capital and big city life!  I really love the friendly environment at Zola.

My name is** Sarah**, and I am from Chicago, Illinois in the USA. This is my second year in Spain, and my second year working at Colegio Zola Villafranca. **I originally moved to Madrid because I love living in new places and traveling, and I wanted to perfect my Spanish. **I stayed because I loved the students and teachers at Zola and wanted to keep working in this environment!

Hi!  I´m** Alissa** and I am from Minnesota, USA. I moved to Madrid almost 5 years ago to travel and spend time in Spanish culture and I loved it so much I still haven’t left!  This is my second year teaching at Zola and I enjoy my time with all the students so much. **I hope that this year will be as good as last year and that we can all continue growing together every day!**

Hello! I´m **Kelly**! I am from New Mexico, USA. This is my second year in Spain and the second year at this school. I originally moved to Spain because it was a chance to live in and experience another culture different than my own. **I have really enjoyed working at Zola, the teachers and staff have been welcoming and helpful** and I get to see and the students grow as develop as English speakers.

Hi! I am **Rochelle** and I grew up in California, USA.  This will be my third year in Spain and my third year at Zola.  I studied history at university, in the U.S. and in the U.K., and I love travelling and discovering new places and people.  **I moved to Spain to explore the history and culture (and to learn a little Spanish!).** I have enjoyed teaching here at Zola and I want to continue to improve as a teacher and I hope that my students feel that they are better English speakers after my classes.

Hello I am **Lauren**! I´m originally from St. Louis, Missouri in the US. This will be my fourth year in Madrid. I moved to Spain after finishing college because I love the country and the language. **This is my first year at Zola and I am excited because the staff seems very supportive and helpful.**

Hello all!  I am **Jackie** from Kansas, USA.  I moved to Madrid three years ago to pursue my love of traveling and Spanish culture. **I love the opportunity to share my own culture** and experience with my students at Zola.

Hi!  I’m **Tess**, I’m from Connecticut, USA.  This is my fourth year in Spain and my second year teaching at Colegio Zola Villafranca. I studied Spanish (language, literature, culture) at university, and moved to Madrid to continue my studies in an immersive environment, and also to try out teaching! **I have really enjoyed my time at Zola, and feel that I am learning every day about how to be a better teacher and a better person**.
