Special Activities

We are accredited by the Ministry of Education in Ecuador as a Center for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. (Centro de Capacitación Ocupacional)

How our program works

One-on-one classes offer the best way to gain a fuller comprehension of Spanish. Each individual learns differently and what is effective for one student may not be for another. So we have developed a methodology where the teachers and student work together to design a customized study plan. Students are given a placement exam (both written and oral) to determine what level they should begin classes and to identify areas of weakness and what their goals may be. In a one-on-one setting, teachers are able to adjust the course to fit any students’ situation.

Our intensive Spanish courses comprise 20 hours of one-on-one study, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. Normally classes are held in blocks. From 8:00 am until 12:00 noon in the morning, and in the afternoon from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm with a 15 minute break after 2 hours to relax and refresh with a cup of coffee and snack. However, our program is flexible and we can always tailor the times, structure, and location of classes to best suits the learning styles and specific needs of each individual student. Intermediate and advanced level can choose as many hours as they need for the same prices.

We believe in more than the chalk and board technique of learning. We try to make learning more interesting for you and encourage students to apply their Spanish by extending the learning experience outside of the classroom. We offer varied and interesting activities to stimulate our students and help them to gain a greater awareness of the larger cultural issues surrounding life in Ecuador and life in Latin America
