Canarias Cultural- Escuela internacional de Español

It’s a very small school, no possibility to meet other students from other classes. There wasn’t even a coffee vending machine.
I had private lessons without any additional leisure activities, but I guess the group courses didn’t have anything like this either.
In comparison to other language schools I attended in the past this one is very very basic.

The classroom I was taught in was terribly noisy because of the traffic right outside the window.

My teacher was nice.

Super good attitude
Absolutely undoubtedly best price
Super good manager and teachers
Always helpful, always there for you

Astonishing experience

Recommended to everyone!

Don’t hesitate.. this is the school you are looking for

The overall experience was amazing. The school is amazing, the people are great and welcoming and very professional. I learned a lot during this week. I also enjoyed my classmate a lot. I totally recommend this school. the only thing I hope they learn to do in the future is to protect their employees when they are sick and make them feel safe to take a day off. Especially nowadays we all should know that making them work while sick is not the employer you want to be. Don't risk your employees and your customers health. Capitalism is not your friend. I did not do any social activities so I cannot rate those.

I was a little bit surprised because I had no group. I have studied Spanish about one year now and earlier too. That's why they had to give me an own teacher, Edgar. Edgar was very good and instead of 40 hours in a group I got 1,5 hours pro day as private.

The location was very well, in the centre of Santa Cruz. Because there were not many students there was no activities for me.

Housing was like I expected. Senora was retired like myself and took good care of me. She also told me much about Tenerife and what I could do during my leisure time.

I was actually more on vacation that studying because I had only 1,5 hours lessons pro day. I had enough homework and learned most of structures and verbs.

Because I had so much time for myself it was really not what I expected. But anyway, I learned to listened Spanish and had a nice teacher. They could not do anything for it that I already knew Spanish better than starter on A1 level.

My opinion is that the level of a student should be tested before the student comes, not later. So it could be easier to plan the course. The could also have a starting package to the students including a map of Santa Cruz and information about public transport and tickets.

With best regards,

3 perfect weeks. Very good school. Great involvement of teachers, attentive and caring.

It was a good expérience, good teacher. I'm French and the teacher didn't speak French. So the Spanish words are explain in English. At the beginning, my level in Spanish was A1-. After 2 weeks my level is A2. Activities during the lesson: vocabulary, grammatical, exercises and discussion.

I learned a lot from my Spanish classes at Canarias Cultural in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The teacher, Yurai, was excellent and very patient. In addition to being effective at Spanish language instruction, he was very knowledgeable about Spain, it’s culture and it’s history. I did not need to arrange housing as I already had a place to stay. The school is centrally located and I found it easy to get to by walking or public bus.

I thought the teacher Su really knew what she was doing and was able to answer all of my questions.

She also pushed me to speak more freely, which helped me a lot.
A thing would have liked better, would be having a say in when the lessons take place.

For example: My lessons normally went from 10 am to 1pm, which I thought was quite late if you wanted to go hiking or anything else in the afternoons.

Also my first lessons where together with a woman, who was definitely above my level of speaking, which was quite frustrating in the beginning.

However I think my Spanish has improved a lot.

Jose the manager was helpful and friendly and the 2 teachers Lorenzo and Yeray were both great. It was nice to have a small class of only 5 students.
