About Luis
隆Hola! My name is Luis Bello Zarallo, and I鈥檓 originally from Spain. Growing up surrounded by nature and animals inspired my curiosity about the world and sparked a lifelong love of learning.
When I鈥檓 not in the classroom, you鈥檒l probably find me reading a good novel, watching a movie, or listening to music鈥攁nything from the power of heavy metal to the beauty of classical symphonies. I also love traveling, since every trip is an opportunity to explore new cultures, traditions, and ways of life.
Academically, my path has been as diverse as my interests. I hold a Bachelor鈥檚 degree in Animal Biology, a Teaching Certificate, a Master鈥檚 degree in Romance Languages and Literature, and I鈥檝e completed all coursework for a Ph.D. in Hispanic Cultures. These studies have allowed me to combine my passion for science, language, and culture into my teaching.
Above all, I enjoy sharing knowledge and helping students discover the connections between language, culture, and their own personal experiences. My goal is to make learning Spanish both meaningful and fun鈥攚hether through stories, art, music, or exploring the cultures that bring the language to life.
