Valley Spanish School

I have had a really positive experience learning Spanish with Valley from the outset. The classes are always well structured with good learning materials. I have taken classes with several teachers, all of whom I would highly recommend. The administration is also well organised: the office can accommodate any needed changes to the schedule, often at short notice.

Amazing! The teachers at the school are really top notch, professional and helped take my Spanish to the next level. I was looking for very specific assistance to help my speaking abilities advance past Intermediate Level. I explained to the Administrator what I needed and to my surprise he was able to provide great Teachers to find one that would be a good fit. It ended being a GREAT fit and we worked on exactly the things I needed which were tailored directly to my learning needs versus just following a book or some random curriculum. Not only were the classes effective but they were FUN and made learning even more enjoyable. Also the flexibility to be able to do in person classes (which I prefer) but also do online Zoom calls when I'm traveling made staying on top of my language learning goals achievable. Advice from many language experts is to start working with a tutor/teacher/professor versus just passive learning like only reading or listening. I highly recomend Valley Spanish School as they have professional staff and will meet your specific needs!

My husband and I enrolled in classes a week at a time for two hours a day each. The teacher Biviana was absolutely awesome. She is a native Spanish speaker and knew so many nuances to the English language that the lessons were seamless. We particularly were appreciative of her enthusiasm for teaching Spanish and having patient conversation with us during the lesson. Each lesson was the right mix of student-driven interest/need and teacher-prepared lessons and concepts. She had print outs and mixed media tools to keep the lessons varied and interesting. I would’ve loved to stay longer and keep the lessons going; it was definitely the most Spanish learning I’ve done in a long time and it was awesome. As for the facilities and administration... the classrooms are above a nice coffee shop and central to the Poblado area. The rooms were clean and organized, which is helpful for a learning environment. There was AC available. The administrator Frederico was absolutely essential to our schooling and enjoyment of the city. He was so helpful in orienting us in directions we needed and generally helpful information about Medellin. His patience with our slow Spanish conversation was also so helpful. We had private lessons which were awesome. Though my guess is small group lessons would also be really engaging with Biviana. The cost of the class was definitely fair and you get a good value from the exchange. I highly recommend this school.
