My time with Canterbury English in Spain was an incredible experience. This program offered a perfect balance of professional development and enriching cultural immersion, making it an unforgettable chapter in my life. The program truly shone in its commitment to cultural immersion. The organized activities and trips were fantastic. These experiences provided a deeper understanding of Spanish history, art, and traditions, enriching my overall experience and creating lasting memories. I must also commend the quality of the Spanish classes offered by the program. The instructors were excellent, creating a fun and engaging learning environment. The classes were structured in a way that effectively improved my grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Canterbury English to anyone looking for a rewarding and enriching experience in Spain.

I didn’t know where to start, but the training, lesson plans, and support made everything so much easier. They showed me how to connect with families, and within a few weeks, I had my first students. The methodology is fun, the kids love it, and I’m earning +600€/month working 4h/week. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to teach independently!
