One to One Courses
It will just take 10 minutes for a written evaluation but 15 minutes for a short conversation, pronunciation and questions about your skills with grammar.
Once that, you and your Spanish Teacher will make the best plan based on the time available that you have for it.
The Spanish lessons can take place at the school but also walking around the city together with the teacher.
Evaluation option before the first class.
Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
