Sallyanne is a traveled kite instructor who teaches kiteboarding in English and Spanish. She is originally from Scottland and Canada, and is a great example of how with studies and effort anybody can pick up Spanish as a 2nd or 3rd language and become fluent. Sallyanne will assist students with their spelling, vocab and grammar, as well as join in or pair up with students for conversation class. She will also be serving students coffee and goodies, but remember there is NO ENGLISH ALLOWED!
