Positive aspects of school
Family atmosphere, responds to individual needs, Lauris is a very educated teacher whose extensive knowledge of Spanish history, development of society and present-day politics has led to learning successes on more than just the linguistic level.
Negative aspects
The school is great. The weather was unusually hot for Tenerife (40 degrees Celsius). It was very hot without air conditioning. At 12:00 there was aqua fitness in the neighbouring hotel with very loud music. It was not possible to ventilate well for an hour.

Teachers did not coordinate much, so that lesson content was treated twice. The book was almost not used. Due to the poor technical equipment, no audio texts either.

Additional information
Positive aspects of school
I've been able to book private lessons and then I've been able to decide what I want to improve and develop and the school has been very responsive.
Negative aspects
The only thing right now is that I'm still waiting for a certificate that I completed a course...need to show my boss! I have asked once...
City/place
I have been a frequent visitor to the island and the town of Puerto de la Cruz has become my favorite. The island is so beautiful and there are so many places to visit that are also culturally interesting.
Quality of teaching / language progress
It is good that you can ask for what you want to improve and the teacher adapts. Since I teach Spanish in Sweden, it's a perfect fit.

Once Salome came back, the lessons were more structured. But all the teachers were very nice and helpful, I was able to benefit a lot and would recommend the school to others.

City/place
Very good place to study in summer with pleasant temperatures. For young people, the nightlife is missing but I liked it.
Quality of teaching / language progress
For me, the 20 hours were enough, because you still have to process all the input.

The location and the layout of the school waren very good, the equipment less so. Some of the teachers were very good, didactically and methodically, others were too sloppy, talked 60% of the hour and did not have the ability to respond to the participants.
Other comments
Activities were offered but these were very expensive and not very attractive and were offered by freelancers outside the school.
