Best school in Quito!
March 13, 2026by: Marcos Neumann - United StatesProgram: Spanish Learning Program
After a month of in person one-on-one classes, I can say without a doubt my Spanish abilities have improved greatly. Their ability to explain complicated concepts in a understandable fashion sets this school/the teachers apart from the rest. As a great bonus, they offer weekly activities that are fun and interactive. Combined, great teachers and fun activities, I would highly recommend this school to anyone visiting Quito.

Usefull and pleasant
March 13, 2026by: Igor (EC) Gorwitz - FranceProgram: Spanish Learning Program
I arrived in Ecuador knowing nothing about the language and the country. The school organized todo, customized for me so I could learn quickly enough Spanish to be autonomous, always in a very kind manner, very adaptive to my constraints. They also organize every day activities to discover local culture.

A desire to learn Spanish and be able to see a part of the world and experience a culture and life philosophy different from my own. My hope always was to grow as a human being and to be able to broaden my horizon and learn from people I usually wouldn't have crossed paths with. To live close to a family and contribute to a project with passionate locals had been a dream of mine for a long time.
