The Course

The Spanish classes we offer in Quito take place in our school on an individual basis, as well as in small groups of 2 to 4 students.

The daily schedule is flexible, ranging from 4, 5, or 6 hours a day depending on the needs of students. Classes include lessons in grammar, reading, vocabulary, writing, and conversation, all complimented by audio, video, and internet aides.  Students wishing to spend 6 hours a day in class will be assigned two different professors, one for the first 4 hours in the morning and one for two hours in the afternoon.  In addition, we offer classes of 1, 2, or 3 hours in the afternoons, evenings, or on the weekends.

Our courses include current subject matter such as the economy, social sciences, and current national and international politics.  We offer intensive classes for students coming to Quito to work as  volunteers, geared especially to meet their language needs and schedule.  We also offer classes for travelers, and for those preparing for their DELE exams.

If you do not have a lot of time in Quito, you can take one-to-one Spanish classes for one day. Three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon. During the morning from 9am to 12pm you will have the opportunity to learn some important verbs, vocabulary and useful expressions for your travels in Ecuador. During the afternoon from 1pm to 4pm you will go to visit the churches, the squares and the handicraft market in the historical center of Quito, together with your teacher. This time will also be a great opportunity to practice what you have learned during the morning classes and do some conversation.
