“Great location and classrooms, competent teachers, good teaching script.”
“Afternoon activities were a bit boring. This may also have been due to the fact that Montevideo is in low season and many places are closed. Some of the teachers are very professional in the sense that they "go through" their lessons (very well). No interest in the person beyond teaching, no small talk.”

“Highly qualified teachers. Helpful and attentive coordinator.”
Insider tip: “Focus is the word that defines the vast majority of those who study at Academia in Uruguay. Students with little interest in learning will feel out of place.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Nice content, guaranteed learning,
Other comments: I suggest that there be a brief welcome meeting every Monday for incoming students. In this conversation, it would be interesting to talk about the school and its extracurricular activities, as well as give an overview of Montevideo, clarifying possible doubts. I think it would be very useful, especially for those who will stay longer in the city.

Other comments: I know it's an old building, so this is probably not possible, but there is a bathroom shortage...Everyone takes a break at the same time. Maybe the break time could be divided up into two?
