Boelo van der Pool and Mª Angeles Abá Ruiz founded Babel idioma y cultura in 1999.
Since then, we have offered English and German courses to Spanish students and since 2001, Spanish courses to foreign students from all over the world.
Before founding Babel Idiomas, Boelo studied business administration
at Nijenrode University in the Netherlands, after which he has worked for
language schools in the UK, Spain and Germany, in
school management and marketing functions.
Mª Angeles was born in Malaga, where she studied Tourism
at Malaga University. Her experience as exchange student in the
USA drove her to work in language schools in the UK, where
she met Boelo.
"We believe that the success of a language course does not only depend on the quality of teaching, although it is the key point of our service, but also on a friendly and helpful atmosphere, useful information (both before, during and after the course), professional organisation and, of course, excellent accommodation for each student."
