What are the English Classes?

Our English program is a free, year-long course created to help students strengthen their language skills, boost confidence, and expand opportunities—especially for those seeking jobs in tourism, hospitality, and service industries in Puerto Vallarta.

Who can attend?

Anyone is welcome, regardless of background or skill level. The current class includes LGBTQ+ individuals and allies from across Latin America, ages 26 to 45, all eager to learn and grow. New students are welcome to join at any time.

How is the program structured?

The course is taught by Zacarías “Zack” de la Cerda, who developed a 12-month curriculum that blends classroom learning with hands-on practice.

• First 3 months focus on foundational grammar and vocabulary.
• Next 8 months include immersive, real-life scenarios—like role-playing in hotels, bars, and restaurants—to help students practice English in everyday situations.
• Classes meet weekly for 2 hours at the Community Center.

How is the program funded?

The first 6 months of this pilot course are generously funded by Matt Karimi and David Smith, who believe that learning English can open doors to better jobs and brighter futures. We’re currently seeking additional sponsors to support the continuation of this life-changing program.
