"Very nice staff (teacher and secretary) but old classrooms with very simple uncomfortable chairs. No pictures on the walls etc. One toilet and one behind a parking garage for all students. The ambient could be a lot nicer even without spending much money. "

Student opinions about Blue Cotton Schools, Mexico City
Thomas
31 years“The classrooms may not have been well equipped, but the teachers - they also speak very good English - and the staff were extremely good and friendly. I am a teacher myself, so I think I can judge it quite well. I had no knowledge of Spanish and took a 4-week course. Now I can make myself understood everywhere and get by in the national language. This is also due to the fact that the school not only teaches according to the book, but also deals a lot with everyday things. I am very satisfied and can only recommend the school to others”

24 years“There were students from all over the world, which made lunch conversations very interesting. The teachers are also willing to spend time with the students outside of class, which makes for a good dive into local culture and is good for practicing the language.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Confirm with the school the time that your class begins. The third party booking agency creates an extra stop in the line of communication between you and the school, so it may not hurt to reach out to them directly.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss Normal class hours is 10:00-14:00. So if one needs extensive training, I recommend taking private lessons.
