Classes are organised by student proficiency. I was organised with other students at the same level. There is the option of having individual classes with a Spanish teacher every day, in addition to the regular group classes.
Insider tip: It is important to practice Spanish before arriving. Because there will be an opportunity to speak, write and listen with other students who are below and above your level.

We had booked individual lessons for my 13-year-old son. The teacher was great. He also travelled to our house for the one-to-one lessons, so we didn't have to travel to the school.

Young people in particular come from different countries, so it is clear that the staff members are trying to create a sense of closeness.
Insider tip: I learned in the conversation class more than 10 years ago and I just tried to learn again after I retired, but I just finished confirming the fact that I had forgotten and that's it. But I also felt that I was motivated to learn, so I think I had a good opportunity.
Review details
Other comments To be honest, it may have been good for adults to take the afternoon class, especially for me, as well as the conversation one. Because, although it is the purpose to stay in Barcelona, you will have late nights and you won't be back at home until morning.

Other comments I am a rarity as a student at Kingsbrook, of this I am aware; hence my comments may not be valid for the majority of students in their 20/30s and at the very least bilingual. I am a mature Australian TEFL teacher and I only speak English with no learning of any Latin language. I enrolled in Beginners assuming that it was for students with ZERO Spanish. However, as the teacher, who was very nice and enthusiastic, never spoke any English at all, she did actions to identify what was required even when it was obvious myself and two other students, one who was tearful on two occasions, had no understanding of what was expected. The second week our teacher changed to Marta (Marina) who adapted her lessons according to our abilities, which is commonsense. I found my learning the second week was excellent and value for the money paid. The class asked questions and interaction was very good. I am very disappointed I did not have Marta for the first week , as she took time to explain in whatever way worked and even a new student was interactive. Estella, the first teacher is very talented but more suited to confident students, she lacks the understanding of what students feel if they constantly do not understand. As a TEFL teacher, I would not have any students if I did not use a work around to ensure my students understood what was required.
