About Gloria Ruiz, M.Ed.

Hola Español Spanish Language School was founded in 2015 by Paraguayan native Gloria Ruiz (De Rabin) and re-established in 2021 after she returned to West Haven, Connecticut, with her husband and young daughter.

Since 2009, Gloria has been teaching Spanish and native Guaraní, the two official languages of Paraguay. She began her career at IDIPAR Language School for foreigners in Asunción, Paraguay, which she purchased in 2012 and owned and operated until 2021. She continues to be a partner today.
