“The group lessons were great because they were small, with only 3 to 5 students.
The teacher changed every week, but most of them were excellent and very enthusiastic, so I was generally happy with the classes.
The school is located in Condesa, a safe, convenient, and trendy neighborhood.”
“I wish the school had a study room. It would have been a great addition.”

“Teachers were great! Other students were from all walks of life, which made for good conversation in class. Karimi organized interesting tours and provided lots of opportunities for cultural immersion. Student to teacher ratio was great and the school was very responsive to students’ needs; they were willing to move students to a higher level if they wanted to be challenged more.”

“I was there 2 weeks and had 3 different instructors in a combination of group and private lessons. It was great. I was exposed to different perspectives and it really helped explain things. We did a couple of tours during the time, which allowed for more spontaneous conversations and added a lot of learning time to the experience.”
“I have no complaints. The school was well organized and dealt with some students schedule changes in a way that worked out well for everyone.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: The class was good.

It's in a great location in a safe neighborhood. Overall a great experience.

“The staff were all very wonderful- patient, warm, understanding. Our tours and outings were among the best parts of my trip. I would certainly suggest adding a regular trip to Mercado Jamaica to the outings offered by the school.”
“I personally would have liked some more specific language instruction - drilling on the various verb tenses, for example. And though I signed up for a cooking class, the Mexico City location had no kitchen. So the staff did a great job organizing market trips (which were AMAZING) and we talked about food, but I never got to make any myself. Oh, and make the lunch break an hour - start class at 9:30 if you have to, but 30 minutes was really too short a lunch break.”
Insider tip: “The staff at Cafe Bruna are very sweet. And go to Mercado Jamaica”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Cooking without a kitchen is really not cooking.Other comments: I had a fantastic 2 week vitist and would happily consider returning

“I took 2 weeks of intensive group lessons as well as additional private lessons. The organisation was excellent, all the staff were always available and helpful with any questions. The teachers were excellent, catering to individual interests and incorporating these topics into the lessons, so that in addition to the language, a lot of Mexican history and social and societal topics were also taught. Learning was fun. The central location of the school is excellent.”
“There's really nothing to mention, the 25-minute break at lunchtime could perhaps have been a little longer, but that's a luxury problem :-)”

“Although I joined only for a week, I feel like I made great progress. The teachers and staff were all helpful, friendly, and competent. I would definitely pick IH again and hope to take more courses in the future.”
“Our classroom (the former garage?) was not very soundproof and the traffic on the road and construction sites were at times a little loud and distracting.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: 20hrs / week is a perfect amount, more would have been too much for my brain.

FAQ about International House, Mexico City

During my stay in Oaxaca, I have had the opportunity to experience the local culture through a homestay with a host family. Why homestay options are not currently offered by schools in Mexico City? It could be a valuable aspect of language learning and cultural immersion.
“There are many reasons for not finding a school that offers homestay in Mexico DC, I think because prices of housing are high and most of the people live in apartments, another reason is that there are only high-class neighbourhoods and poor neighbourhoods, so there are no middle-neighbourhoods safe for students.
