SI CENTRO LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
We realize that when learning a second language, it is important that the process is enjoyable for the student. Nobody wants to be back in a strictly school environment! For this reason, we keep our classes laid back, easy, and fun. However, at the same time, the most important thing is that the necessary information is communicated. So your classes are consistently informational, while at the same time entertaining!
We offer one-on-one instruction or instruction in small groups, with tuition adjusted accordingly. All levels of Spanish are available, including elementary, intermediate, advanced, and Spanish for professional fields. Our regular program consists of 20 classroom hours per week, and our intensive program consists of more than 20 hours per week, normally 30.
SI CENTRO LEARNING MATERIALS
After an initial consultation with each student to ascertain proficiency, our instructors tailor individual learning programs for each student. You can learn slowly and thoroughly if you have plenty of time to study, or if you only have a week or two, we can give you a quick overview of the basics you will need to safely and successfully continue your travels. In the world of Spanish schools, it is quite common for schools to simply have set programs for students, regardless of whether or not the student is ready for the material or if it is redundant. We realize and avoid this approach in order to assure that your time is utilized wisely.
You will learn all aspects of the Spanish language, consisting of Grammar, Reading, Writing, Listening, and Conversation.
