Student reviews about "Intensive (20 Group + 10 Individual)" at Academia Contacto
Jonathan 5.0
"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."

Student reviews about "One-to-One Lessons" at Academia Contacto
Frank 4.0
"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."

“Best was Lena - she organized all with so much involvement, unforgettable person!!”
“Maybe a bit more tasks "out of the regular school books", conversations in class under more control of the teacher, if students discus and nobody is correcting them wrong language habits can be memorized.”
Insider tip: “Good to be in the class of the same knowledge level - good checking before start.”

“Easy to reach, small groups and Lena organised the lessons well and made sure that everyone understood. It was fun and I would have liked to continue, but unfortunately I didn't have the time.”
“The only thing that I think could be more effective in gaining more confidence is speaking freely. That what has been learnt in the form of free speaking (questions and answers in complete sentences) is practised together in class.”

“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).”
“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.”
“The teacher does not use the book but many copies of exercises and topics for discussions in the classroom.”
Insider tip: “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.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: The course is pleasant, and the schedule is adequate to learn and develop the Spanish language.

“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.”
“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.”

“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.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: It was great to have a regular routine of school, learning and hearing Spanish every day, connecting with other students and staff! Intensive 20 hours a week was an excellent way to start learning Spanish!

“The classroom was very tiny, without a window and very bad air. There is not a lot of space to hang out and meet other students, and its in the basement. Also in the beginning there was not a test for everybody to see what level they are on (on the registration it said, there would be a little test the first day.)”

Quality of teaching / language progress: The classroom was cold. The offer of activities and excursions looked good, and I would probably join if I were to stay for several weeks, but I did not use it since I only was there for a single week.Other comments: I am very happy with the week and would like to take several weeks of language teaching at the same school at a later date.

“The location. The second week teacher was excellent.”
Details of the review
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.

“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 tip: “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!”
Details of the review
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.

Details of the review
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 !!!!!

"The accommodation lacked some things (pan was broken and unusable, only one bed linen and towel, no oven).

"The welcome was rude and the introduction was unfriendly. Very nice and considerate flatmates. Unfortunately, the ceiling light in the room did not work. Also, there was only one light bulb (no lampshade or similar). In the bathroom the drain was blocked, the shower cubicle was tiny. The washing machine was leaking water. The rooms were entered in absence, without prior notice. No waste separation.

Questions and answers about Academia Contacto

FAQ about Academia Contacto, Madrid

I'm wondering if I can take two courses at once and learn twice as fast.
“That's a great question! It's easy to think that taking two courses at once will speed up your learning. However, while you can take more than one course, learning a language effectively means striking a balance between practice, rest, and time to absorb new material. Taking on two courses at once can feel a bit overwhelming and might lead to burnout if you're trying to absorb too much information in a short period of time. Another thing to remember is that language learning requires repetition and review, which can be difficult to do if you're constantly moving on to new material. It's more about doing a little bit every day and making sure it's good quality. If you really want to speed up your progress, I'd suggest focusing on one course but doing extra activities outside the classroom, like:

Speak to native speakers (language exchange or conversation practice), watch TV shows, movies, or listen to podcasts in the language, do language exercises or use apps to reinforce what you've learned.

Sometimes we can also help you put together a personalised learning plan that fits in with your goals. If you're still interested in taking more than one course, we can talk about how to make sure you're balancing your workload effectively.”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 15, 2024
What do I do if I miss a class?
“First of all, your teacher must be informed. This is due to the details of the learning process. He or she will then select a group for you to study in, where you can attend the same class and get all the material you missed. You should also hand in your homework on the missed lesson as soon as possible so that the tutor can see how the learning process is going and can help you immediately if necessary.”
Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 17, 2023
