Jeremy Levine

Founder, Director, Fire Dancing Instructor
Jeremy's the mastermind of the operation.  He received his undergraduate degree in business at Syracuse University in New York and his MBA from the USC Marshall School of Business in Los Angeles, California.  He learned fire dancing on the beaches of Thailand years ago and it quickly became his passion.  Through business school, he was able to find a way to keep fire dancing a part of his life while creating La Escuela Del Sol.  The school is something he takes very seriously and strives continuously to make the best it can possibly be. 

 

 

 

Spanish Teacher Extraordinaire

Luz is a total pro!  She is a native Spanish speaker who was born and raised in Colombia, but has traveled near and far before reaching La Escuela Del Sol.  She received her Masters Degree in Education from Georgia State University and has more than 10 years of Spanish and English language teaching experience.  She even taught as a professor for a year at Georgia State University, making her incredibly qualified to not only teach our students, but to run our Spanish department and curriculum.  She's also a blast to hang out with.  Make sure to buy her a beer at Chico's bar to hear her amazing traveling tales.  

 

 

 

Andrea is the coolest chick you know!  She is a native Spanish speaker who was born in Bogota, Colombia where she was taught to sing and dance at a young age.  She moved to Costa Rica in her teens and became famous on the hit show Buba, a Costa Rican sensation of a talent search which was similar to, but predated American Idol.   All this while obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Graphics Design from the Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica.  Andrea has taught Spanish for 2 years and often cries when her students leave.  She's a committed teacher that everyone misses long after they have left La Escuela Del Sol.

 

 

Rebeca Quesada will blow your mind!  She too is a native Spanish speaker who was born in Costa Rica and has seen the world many times over.  When she was a teen, her mother was chosen as Costa Rican Foreign Minister to Bolivia under the assignment of Oscar Arias, who would become the current President of Costa Rica and later was sent to Portugal.  Having lived and studied in Europe for several years, she can now speak Portuguese, English, Italian and basic French as well as her native Spanish.  Years later, she moved to Montezuma and opened the first tourism company in town.  Her business, world and academic experience make her uniquely qualified to run our school as administrator as well as Spanish teacher when she is needed.

 

 

 

Mauricio Saborio Sanchez
Surfing Instructor
Mauricio lives and breathes Pura Vida!  Born and raised on the coast of Costa Rica, he picked up a surfboard at an early age.  Mau has taught surfing now for more than 15 years, the majority of which has been exclusively in Montezuma.  Ask him about how he practically discovered the surfing beaches nearby and he'll tell about a time when he and his friend Pablo were the only ones surfing in Playa Grande and Los Cedros, two of the staples of Montezuma's surf scene today.  He's not only a kick ass surfer.  He wins salsa dancing competitions in his spare time.  If you get to see Mau dance with our Spanish teacher/semi-professional dancer, Andrea, you're in for a real treat. 

 

 

Surfing Instructor

Considering the success of one of his former students, Wagner might be one of the top tier surf instructors in the world!  Also born and raised in Costa Rica, Wagner has been surfing since childhood.  He too has taught surfing in Montezuma for more than 10 years.  He even introduced the sport to an 11 year old Montezuma resident by the name of Mattias Braun.  Today, Mattias is ranked the #3 surfer in Costa Rica and often wins international competitions.  Who knows, after 4 weeks with Wagner, maybe you'll be the next surfing champion!!
