Non-profit association · Utrera, Seville
We provide free, high-quality English classes to vulnerable children, because speaking English shouldn’t depend on money.
Building fluency. Building bridges.
Our story
As teachers, we’ve watched parents hesitate at the academy door, weighing the week’s shopping against an English class.
In Spain, most job offers ask for English, yet speaking it fluently is still a privilege. Our small academy gives scholarships to several students every year, but the need is far greater than we can meet alone.
That’s why we created United by Language: so that no child is left behind for economic reasons, and because every community grows stronger when we invest in one another.
Meet the founder
I know what it feels like to live in a country where you can’t yet fully express yourself. When I moved to Spain from New England, in the US, I was building a new life while learning a new language and a new culture. It taught me that language is never just vocabulary or getting a grammar exercise right: it’s confidence. It’s being able to make friends, ask for what you need, understand the world around you and feel that you belong.
Today I teach English in Utrera, and I see the same thing from the other side. For some children, English opens doors. For others, it becomes one more reason to feel left out, simply because their family can’t afford classes.
That’s why United by Language is, above all, about inclusion. Children from low-income families, refugee children and children with disabilities learn side by side with other local children, in the same classroom and with the same high expectations. No child should feel like the odd one out.
In my classes, mistakes are welcome: they’re part of finding your voice. I want every child to feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and growing at their own pace, while still making real progress. Because being bilingual is more than an academic skill. It’s a bridge between people, cultures and possibilities, and it helps us all feel a little less like strangers in the world.
“If I won the lottery, I’d teach English for free forever. Since I haven’t hit the jackpot yet, United by Language is how we’ll make that dream real, one student at a time.”
Mission and vision
We provide free, high-quality English education and cultural exchange programmes to vulnerable children in Spain: low-income families, refugee children and children with disabilities. In our classrooms they learn side by side with other local children, building fluency, empathy and community.
We dream of a Spain where a family’s income never decides a child’s opportunities, and where learning languages makes us a more connected, compassionate society.
What we do
With qualified teachers, in small groups, with progress tracking.
No child misses out because they can’t buy a book.
Conversation, games, celebrations and events that bring the language to life.
Children from different backgrounds learning together, with the same care and high standards.
Our impact
Today, 5 children receive free classes through United by Language. Our goal is to reach 50 children by 2027, and every sponsor brings us closer.
