We use an innovative, results-driven methodology which we continue to refine. Reflection is an important part of our job and both the teacher and the student are asked for input. It is important that our courses are not only developed by the teachers but also by the students' opinions, difficulties, and questions.
Teaching another language is not only about the transmission of concepts; the student also has to apply the concept, both verbally and in writing. Spanish grammar is very extensive and from our experience, we know the frustrating gap between 'school Spanish' and the Spanish of everyday life. Understanding everything you have been taught does not mean you are able to apply all the rules and vocabulary while speaking. We help you get there!

If you have always wanted to explore the magnificent site of Machu Picchu, this is your chance to do so at your leisure. Studying so close to such an internationally renowned destination certainly has its benefits, as you will have access to certain amenities and creature comforts set up for tourists in the area that other parts of Peru do not offer. It is also the best place to get to know the Peruvian culture, as Cusco is the epicenter of it all – and you can go out and talk to the locals whenever you wish, especially armed with your new Spanish lessons.
The language school in Cusco is situated very close to the central city square, the Plaza de Armas, so you will be able to easily access everything you might need in the city – it is also actually only a few steps away from the famous Temple of the Sun, so you will be able to enjoy this spectacular sight every time you emerge from the classrooms.
