Student comments about "Intensive Spanish Course" at El Rincón del Tándem
Corien
"Good school with well-trained teachers."
Olga
"All teachers I had, Andrea and Arancha were amazing! "
Koldo
"Was fine. Good pace, occasional homework. "
Simone
"Great to do, pace was good (sometimes a bit too fast), a bit more attention to whether everyone could follow the explanations properly was a minor minus. "

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“Very friendly, the teachers were very good. Strong focus on talking, using learned structures and verb tenses, not going too fast. But the school is small, so I'm not sure that they can manage to hold many classes of different grades simultaneously.”
“No excursions or extracurricular activity of any kind. Very slow to inform me of where I was staying, and the information was lacking.”
Insider tip: “Bear in mind that this is a small school, mainly suited to people who are temporarily living locally, working or having their own accommodation, not so much for people visiting specially for language learning for a couple of weeks.”

“Competent teachers, small classes, relaxed atmosphere and a lot of extracurricular activities to provide immersion in Spanish culture as well as the opportunities to chat with other students in the informal settings.”

“The variation in teaching methods during the lessons (theory but also mutual discussion and use of Kahoot). The quality of the teacher was good! And I really enjoyed the contact with the other international students.”
“Too bad there is no coffee/tea available in between. The 10-minute lunch break is very short. Classroom is a bit tight for 10 people.
I have not participated in other activities, so therefore no rating on them.”
Insider tip: “We did a bike tour with a guide, it was very nice to get an idea of the city. Tip to do right at the beginning!”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Intensive course was fun to do! It is a pity that we were in the wrong group for 1 day (a little too high classified).
Some more interactive exercises to improve conversational skills would also be good.

“Fine teacher (and also 2 days substitutes, were also good), pleasant location, classrooms (a bit on the small side) with facilities were also okay”
“Activities and excursions by school were limited. Not a big deal either, but the website promises an activity every day, such as film and photography. They better not promise that then.”

“The school activities were great to me”
“It was horrible experience that I didn't get any information the host family house before I arrived in Valencia. The Agency have contacted the school but it did not get any feedback from the school. The agency said that the holiday in Spain so didn't have any feedback even contacted emergency number in owner of school.
Honestly, I totally did not understand situation because normally, I informed the Angency to study En Rincon del Tandem before a holiday and the angency noticed the school before starting a holiday.
Reason of completely confirmed late to me, It was taken time to find out the host family to understand my problem that I have an urinary urgency. Last informed the agency, the school found out the host family to understand my problem .
But the worst thing that, it was different the host family when I arrived in school first day and even, the host family did not get any information”

Student comments about Homestay
Olga
"Because of my special need diet I chose to eat out every day, and did not eat with the family. The two times I ate the home made meal, the food was very good. The location was very nice, quieter part of town, close enough to the Turia park and the Museo de las Ciencias. A little walk to the school, it took about 30 minutes, but the bus stop is just few meters from a bus stop if you would rather do that. The building, apartment were very nice and clean. Family very friendly and quiet. "

"I stayed the host family house included breakfast and dinner. But I usually ate dinner and breakfast alone and the food was not delicious to me.
The more issue was that the night was very cold and the blanket was not clean so I wanted to change it. After that, they changed to me but it was not good enough heating inside room. there is no eletronic heat so I caught a cold now.
So I didn't want to stay at house so during the staying, I stayed other accommodation to avoid freezing the room. However, the host family had weird looking to me that why I came back home in the morning that not had a sleep in the room.
I really wasn't stayed in Valencia any more that I planed there at least 2 weeks because there are a lot of bad memory to me."

Student comments about Homestay
Maggie
"The accommodation was significantly less good than other homestays I have had when studying with other language schools in Salamanca and Barcelona. The family was extremely hospitable, but the household was too full of people and the result was that we all caught an unpleasant virus which spread among us unavoidably. "
Questions and answers about El Rincón del Tándem

“Correct. LanguageCourse.Net specialises in language courses around the world, in the countries where the language originally originated. In this case, Spanish in Spain. The address of El Rincón del Tándem is Carrer del Consolat del Mar, 2, 46006 Valencia. If a course is online this is clearly indicated in the course name. ”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 21, 2022 - I plan to stay in Valencia for a few months in 2023. I would like to do a morning class for that duration. Is it possible?“We cannot guarantee the morning schedule. The schedule depends on the availability of the school. Lessons can be in the morning or in the afternoon.”Francesca, from El Rincón del Tándem - Oct 13, 2022
FAQ about El Rincón del Tándem, Valencia
- I am looking for a school in Valencia that offers afternoon activities.
“Our partner, El Rincon del Tandem, offers both free weekly activities and free weekly conversation classes after classes. Please note that activities in adult courses are almost always subject to a minimum number of course participants. ”Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 22, 2025 - I am interested in a 2-week course, would the second week of Spanish increase in knowledge and is the group the same?“The content of the course is not repetitive, in the second week you will learn different topics and new students may join the group. ”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Nov 28, 2022
- Are material costs included in the price?“No, the cost for this will be added. You can rent a book from the school for €3 per week. Or you can buy the book yourself then it costs about €21 per level. If you like to buy the book at school it costs about €25 per level. ”Elena, Administration from El Rincón del Tándem - Nov 21, 2022
- If school is closed due to a local holiday, will these class hours be made up?“If you missed a class day due to a local holiday, you may finish the course one day later. For example: if the first Monday of the course is a holiday, the course will begins on Tuesday. Friday would be the official end date of the course, but due to the public holiday students can recuperate that missed lesson on the following Monday. ”Elena, Administration from El Rincón del Tándem - Nov 04, 2022
- Does El Rincón del Tándem have small classes?“El Rincón del Tándem has a maximum of 8 students in the general group course. Is that small enough for you? If not, we could look at a private or semi-private course (two students traveling together, with the same language level).”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 28, 2022
- We have somewhat different language levels, so I assume we will end up in different groups. But I hope those classes take place simultaneously (preferably in the mornings), so we can spend the afternoons going out together.“El Rincón del Tándem cannot guarantee (far) in advance that you will be assigned to groups with the same schedule. They give classes between 10:00 - 14:00 and 16:00 - 20:00. It depends on language levels and teachers how the groups are assigned. Often this is determined on the first day of the course. If this is an important request, please contact us.”Robin Rebecca Pietersma, Dutch Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Oct 28, 2022
