Nativity Prep students are 5x more likely to graduate from college than other historically underserved students." https://nativityprep.org/

About Spanish Support and Discovery, Inc.
About Francesca (Founder/President)
Hi, my name is Francesca Vano. I am the oldest of three siblings and am a current sophomore in high school. I have lived in California my whole life, but my dad is originally from Spain and grew up in Guatemala. I have many family members in Valencia, Spain. My family owns a charming hotel there, and always reassures me that Valencia is my home away from home. Growing up, my dad made it a priority to go visit my family and to take advantage of being bicultural. Overall, my interest in Spanish literature originates from my personal background fusing together with my academic passions.
About Eleanor (Vice-President)
Hi! I’m Eleanor Meyer, and I’m a sophomore. I started learning languages when I was in kindergarten, and I haven’t stopped since. I’m fluent in both French and English, and this is my fifth year learning Spanish. I’m inspired everyday to keep learning because of my growing ability to communicate with more people in their native language, and learn about global perspectives. Learning languages has become a really important part of my life, and I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share my passion with others through tutoring and cultural discussions.
