About Us:
Diáfano is the language learning hub of the future, with human-centered philosophy at
its very core. The Diáfano Method fuses tried and true methods of language learning with our own modern spin. Designed by a linguist and administered by a global community of top-tier native educators, our method hacks into the psychology of language learning to ensure maximum retention and true mastery.
Our Goal:
We empower people to immerse themselves in new cultures and create meaningful
connections through language learning. We believe that language learning leads to
cross-cultural understanding, so we aim to make it more accessible and more impactful
than ever. Our goal is to help students achieve language mastery through methods
focused on social learning. We rely on data to inform progress and our decision-making
process, all while engaging in culturally-responsive pedagogy. As a teacher, your job is
as much to teach about the language as it is to teach its cultural context and help to
continue to build a culturally competent and understanding society.
Our Core Values:
● Mastery: We strive for mastery in everything that we do.
● Sincerity: Integrity means a lot to us. It is at the core of who we are.
● Innovation: We create our own rules to give you an experience and results you
won’t find anywhere else.
● Inclusivity: We are driven to create classes that are culturally-relevant and driven.
We believe in inclusivity from the teachers we hire to the courses we teach.
● Connection: We care about people, first and foremost. We always create a
nurturing environment that supports bonding, connection, and growth.
