Excellent location right next to Plaza de Olavide, and wonderfully kind, helpful and organized Director and Office Manager! The Director and Office Manager provide very good support, information and suggestions for living in Madrid! A very friendly school with kind teachers, fun international students and good quality learning and teaching! The classes are small 6-10 students for quicker Spanish learning and speaking! If you do not come to Spain with a foundation in Spanish, the Director and Office Manager will assist you with the right teacher, who will provide organized learning and English explanations, and you can continue learning at Level 1 for as long as needed.

All the teachers are very friendly, warm and patient. Any questions, they are happy to help. The teaching system is very clear. The curriculum structure, and there are textbooks dedicated to te school. The location is in the city center, close to the Iglesia and Bilbao metro stations, and right next to the Plaza de Chamberi bus stop. There are Carrefour supermarkets and many bakeries nearby.
Disliked
The school building is relatively small, with only two floors (first floor and basement). A so-called "library" is just a bookshelf. The lounge only has a table and a sofa. Classrooms are relatively small. Language tests in schools are not very accurate and many people are given inappropriate grades. Therefore, the level of each student in a class varies greatly (especially in lower-level classes). The so-called activities are not prepared by the school itself. If you don't go out with your classmates by yourself, you usually won't see your classmates after class.

It's really a very professional school, they do care about the students and their progress. The atmosphere of the school was very warm and lovely. There were many events organized for the students that made my stay unforgettable. The teachers are very kind and professional. The structure of the class was just perfect as it had grammar, conversation, listening etc.

I had lessons for 2 weeks own the morning. The school provided textbook which was appropriate to my level and broad enough to extend my learning. The teacher, Pablo, was experienced and inspiring. He was able to include all students, 7-9 in active learning experiences. Lessons were interesting and engaging.

The enthusiasm, dedication, and skill of the teachers were outstanding; speaking very clearly (and only in tenses we knew!) and staying in Spanish throughout. The printed and website materials were very good, as was our homework (we voted every day to have it).
Insider tips about what future students should not miss If you have breakfast at one of the nearby cafes it only takes 55 seconds to get to class. Our classes were organised all before (Madrid) lunchtime, so make sure you have snacks!

Quality of teaching / language progress: The intensive course was extremely good, and backing it up with two extra hours one-to-one really made an enormous difference. The main course had four students, all adults about 25-60 with various reasons for being there, different abilities and different rates of learning. The teachers were very skilful at managing this without leaving anyone out. My extra two hours of one-to-one were organised as one before the main classes and one after, and so it possible to really prepare and then reinforce the topics of the day. The extra tuition might appear expensive, but if you are serious about learning quickly were really very good value for money. My teacher began by asking why I was learning Spanish and what I needed from the course, and every lesson had material specifically for me, focussed exactly as I'd wanted. I was really delighted with how much progress I made in just the one week and how easy and supportive the teachers were.
Other comments The school is small and friendly and the classrooms are small, which means you don't have to raise your voice at all and everyone can see and hear perfectly. The administrator is very friendly and very able and knows everybody by name, and also speaks fluent English and native French. Although listed as a having a library and a cafe these are really pretty minimal. Wifi worked perfectly, including for whole class playing interactive word games.

Very nice welcome. Quality of the textbooks. Friendliness and competence of the teachers. Nice individual lesson in which the teacher addressed the current social situation and motivated to speak. Small class. Class book/diversity of learners (age and origin).
Disliked
Rooms too small and hardly any possibility to move around the room. Non-functioning technology (projector). Too long lessons, no break between group lessons and individual lessons, bathrooms for men and women. Too little grammar. Disruptions due to students arriving too late.

A harmonious and suitable environment for what they propose. Teachers are well prepared to work with students from all over the world. My suggestion for the students is to book at least a 4-week course. I believe that short courses are not that efficient.
Disliked
The teacher does not use the book but many copies of exercises and topics for discussions in the classroom.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss If possible, book a 4-week course. I noticed that students who take lessons for 1 or 2 weeks only don't improve their language skills in a significant way.

Other comments I had booked transfer from/to the airport. It worked well. However, it was not a special transfer by the school, but I was driven by ordinary taxis and taxi drivers. This normally costs Euro 30. The Academia Contacto asks for Euro 70 !!!! I find this completely out of place and unfair to the students. At the airport there are a lot of taxis and for the pick up from the accommodation, just 1 phone call is required! For that, they charge Euro 40 each way! Totally unacceptable !!!!!

Quality of teaching / language progress: Two very nice teachers, but none of them knew that or why there was a change of teachers. As an individual student you are taught in a tiny room without a window in the basement, right next to a large room with group lessons, which can be very loud and annoying at times. But it is very easy to grab your teacher and go to a nearby café.
