The teacher
Quality of teaching / language progress
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.

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

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
For Brazilian students, I would say: spend a week in the intermediate class before joining the advanced group. Reviewing the content will help you a lot.
Other comments
The name of the school is Frida Spanish School. Very poorly organized, with no accurate information and no staff speaking Portuguese. It seems like a garage background school, the organization does not exist, information is not secure, lack preparation to deal with Brazilian students, taking the language into consideration.

The teacher Diego and the support staff Silvana. During the difficult times of the earthquake, they did the best that they could do.
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.
Other comments
Thank you a lot. I enjoyed the class and I will take the advanced class in the near future.

Positive aspects of school
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.

The school is actually "Frida Spanish School," which is a partner school of COINED.

It's better to choose the group one level up and always, always, participate in all the organized activities. The area close to the school is the perfect place to stay.

An amazing little school. Super friendly teachers. It was so much fun to learn.
The whole process, from booking the course till finishing it, was very smooth. Thank you COINED team for your help, especially Julia, she was so amazingly helpful and friendly. I cant recommend you enough. And I will!!!
