"Very basic"

Petra Klein-Haardt, student from Germany

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.

Dear Petra,

thank you for taking your time to give your opinion about our school.

We take seriously your thoughts to improve and offer a better sevice in the future.

We are really sorry that you didn't have a nice experience.

In your case, you came one week and you took individual hours. Your schedule

was from 10:00 till 12:00. The intensive courses are from 10.00 till 11:30 They have

30 minutes break from 11:30 till 12:00 and then lessons from 12:00 till 13:30.

That schedule made impossible that you could join the other students and go with

them to take a coffee.. They always went together during the break.

If you would have told me I would have tried to change your shedule so you could

meet them.

Most of the students that take individual lessons are more independent so it was our

mistake to think that this was your case.

You are absolutely right about the classroom, the one where you were taught is quite

noisy when the window is open. Again it was our mistake to identify that it was

disturbing you that much. If we would have known that at that moment we would

have changed you to another classroom.

Thank you also for the nice comment about the teacher, we will tell him.

Best wishes.

"Best language school i ever been to"

"Great experience"

Nora Hase, student from Germany

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.

Hola Nora!
Thank you very much for your words!
It was really nice to have you as a student in our school, always with a smile and a positive mind!
On the other hand, I think you had a mistaken idea of our organization. In our school we are all teachers and we are all mates.There are no bosses. Nobody force anyone to work, and when someone for any reason can't teach we search for solutions.Also we do not risk our students health and during this difficult time we always followed the recommendations and never had a problem in this matter.
As teachers, no businessmen, we have also other priorities and we give importance to different things. As an example, we have collaborated with NGOs and also work with inmigrants or refugees here in Tenerife trying to help them without "capitalism" purposes in their learning of our language.

"Great: I was the only student because there was no other student on the same level."

Mervi Laitinen, student from Finland

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,

Mervi

Thank you for your words Mervi!

They will help us to improve.

Unfortunately there were no other students of your level and we didn't want to place you in a group where you wouldn't feel comfortable. That's why we decided to give you 1,5 private hours per day ( instead 3 hours/day in a group).

We will notice your suggestion about the package and about social activities.

Greetings from Tenerife

"Spanish lesson in Santa Cruz de Tenerife"

Patricia Gobin, student from France

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.

"Excellent Spanish classes"

Laurel Chase, student from USA

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.

"Really helped with my spanish!"

Franziska Kary, student from Germany

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.
