Francisco Estanovich Rojas – 55 años.
Trabajo como profesor por 33 años.

En mi tiempo libre me gusta escuchar música, leer y ver tele. Lo que me encanta de ser profesor es compartir con personas de diferentes países y culturas.
Hace algunos años después de las vacaciones de Navidad, perdí la voz por tres días. Afortunadamente tuve un grupo de tres estudiantes que comprendieron mi situación y ellos continuaron las clases con mucha creatividad y entusiasmo. Yo les daba algunas instrucciones al principio de la clase y ellos las seguían sin problemas.
Hace casi diez años que tuve una historia especial en la escuela. Trabajé por dos semanas con una estudiante muy inteligente, sensible y creativa. El último día me pidió permiso para contar una pequeña historia familiar relacionada con sus dos hijos. Al final de la historia ella me reveló – casi disculpándose – que uno de sus hijos era Matt Damon, el famoso actor.
ILISA es una escuela muy seria y profesional. Los estudiantes son personas que vienen realmente a aprender por razones profesionales o de estudio. El equipo de profesores es muy profesional y competitivo.

Visit at a local public school
Linda Tunick, Arizona
(August 2013)

ILISA is Costa Rica has been a wonderful experience for me. The small classes with individual attention, the family experience, and the many trips to beautiful sites in the country immersed me completely in the culture of Costa Rica. Being a retired teacher of elementary students in the United States, education of course, was of interest to me. The school arranged a visit to a local public school and I was able to share with the students my photos of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, the mountains, the spring flowers, and the grand Saguaro Cactus.

Costa Rica will now always be a part of me and I have left a little of Arizona in Costa Rica.
