But learning Spanish can be stimulating and rewarding, with a teacher who knows how to motivate you and keep you entertained.
PhD. Morante has the equivalent of the U.S. degrees of Doctor of Philosophy in Education earned at a regionally accredited institution of higher education in the United States, Master of Science in Higher Education and Bachelor of Arts in Russian.
Dr. Patricia Morante earned her Doctor of Education Science (Doctor en Ciencias Pedagógicas) from the University of Havana in 2008, awarded by Cuba’s National Board of Scientific Degrees. This credential was later evaluated in the United States and deemed equivalent to a Doctor of Philosophy in Education from a regionally accredited U.S. institution. She had been a member of the University of Havana’s foreign language faculty for several years, teaching Spanish, Italian, and Russian. Beyond the classroom, she became widely recognized as the host of a popular nationwide Cuban television program, where she taught Italian through lively and engaging methods.
Her excellence in teaching was honored in 2006 with the Rafael María de Mendive Medal from the University of Havana. In 2010, she achieved the highest level of proficiency in Italian (C2), awarded by La Sapienza, Università degli Studi di Roma.
Since relocating to the United States, Dr. Morante has taught at several language schools, offering instruction in Spanish and Italian to diverse audiences—including executives, diplomats, and military officers. She teaches in classrooms, onsite at homes and businesses, and, nowadays, mostly online, continuing her lifelong mission of making language learning accessible, rigorous, and inspiring.

I live in the United States, but for many years I was a professor at the University of Havana in Cuba. This photo was taken some time ago in a restaurant in Cuba where customers are allowed to write on the wall. The message that I added to the wall was my way of making a small tribute to all my students. Loosely translated, it says: “I was born to teach and remain a teacher wherever I am: A big hug to all my past, present and future students—they are with me forever.”
