Offering one-to-one and group lessons in four different regions of Ecuador, students learn the language while exploring the secrets of the Amazon Jungle, relaxing on a white-sand beach or while living in the colonial Andean cities of Quito and Cuenca. With our online lessons you can also study from home with the same tuition quality.
We teach the language for all levels, from complete beginners to language perfectionists. Special packages include cultural experiences or special terms useful for any area or activities. Both schools in Quito and Cuenca are located a few minutes walk from tourist centers, and offer varied extracurricular activities such as tropical dancing, cooking or cocktail lessons, movies, soccer games, lectures about the culture, history, and idiomatic expressions.
