AE Success Stories • Meet @kunjanmodi99, alumni at the AE Schools. In 2017, amidst the whirlwind of undergraduate studies, she embarked on a unique journey – learning Spanish as a mere hobby. Little did she know, that decision would alter the course of her life in the most remarkable way.

As the days turned into months, and the months into years, Kunjan’s fascination with the Spanish language only grew deeper. What began as a pastime soon transformed into an all-consuming passion. With each conjugation mastered and every conversation practiced, she felt herself drawn closer to the vibrant culture and rich heritage that Spanish encapsulates.

Upon reaching the C1 level, she boldly chose to forge a path into the Spanish language industry in India. Thanks to the invaluable knowledge imparted by the Academia de Español schools, she not only found her calling but also discovered a world of endless possibilities.

Today, Kunjan proudly serves as a Spanish teacher at the @chatrabhuj.narsee.school , nurturing young minds with the same passion that once ignited her own. And alongside, she shares her expertise at the esteemed @spjainglobal , guiding MBA students on a journey of language and business acumen.

To all the aspiring linguists and dreamers out there, let Kunjan’s journey be your guiding light. Embrace the adventure, seize the opportunities, and watch as the world unfolds before you in the language of possibilities.
