Today we speak with Elena Casillas, founder and director of LinguaMeeting. 

She had just met her students at her university when hurricane Katrina hit. The city was flooded, she had to leave her home and the world as she knew it was gone.                        

Amidst chaos and with no real technological knowledge she realised one thing: language teaching had to change. In this episode we go through Elena's journey from a young Spanish teacher in the US to founder and director of a global company with over 20000 pupils. 

We will learn how attitude proved more important than background, how plans are useful, but up to a point and that technology is there to make us more human.
