Meet Our Team
The Lango team is made up of skilled members residing in various locations, who are committed to the Lango mission. The Lango Managing Director and Director of Curriculum Development, as well as our marketing team, work out of our San Francisco office. Five Area Directors work around the San Francisco Bay Area, managing the day-to-day operations of their Lango regions; most of them also serve as Lango teachers. And then there are our teachers, native or bilingual Spanish speakers who work hard every day to deliver outstanding experiences to our students. We look forward to adding to this great team!
