Learn Spanish in Ecuador

The Timetable

From my experience in this form of teaching, I would suggest that students have between 4 and 5 hours of classes a day. However, we would obviously also take into account the student´s requirements and suggestions.

Classes are held from 8:30am to 6:30pm.

As stated above, the course is divided into three levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced:

Beginners

At this level, we begin by studying the basics. The use of basic conversational and grammatical structures enables the student to be able to communicate almost straightaway.

Intermediate

The aims of the intermediate course are that the student will be able to communicate clearly, effectively and fluidly, and improve their level of understanding, and oral and written expression.

Advanced

In the advanced course, we will study different structures from the comparitive to the subjunctive, that will enable the student to communicate with ease in the different environments that he or she may need to. On finishing the course with a minimum of 120 hours, the student can receive a certificate from the Ministery of Education in Ecuador.

I am based in Quito. The classes can be held wherever the student wants, at their place of residence, at my house or in a Spanish School in Quito (Mariscal sector), where I am able to use their premises to hold my classes.

If the student is interested in other activities, as an extra class or special activity one day per week, we could visit the colonial centre of Quito, museums and churches, the tourist centre at "The Middle of the World" (La Mitad del Mundo), and indigeneous markets such as Saquisilí and Otavalo amongst others.

I can also give lessons in the Coast, Otavalo and the Amazon jungle in Yarina lodge. If you would like details of these programmes, I can send you the relevant information.
