Positive aspects of school
"A warm and dynamic atmosphere. The school is ideally located in the Condesa neighbourhood. The activities and cultural outings are very interesting and really enhance the experience of exploring Mexico City. The teacher is dynamic and uses professional teaching methods. Small class sizes (max 8) allow for more interaction. Students with diverse backgrounds, which brings energy to the classroom and beyond. The rooftop terrace. The nearby parks and restaurants."
Negative aspects
"The audiovisual equipment could be improved (a screen for showing videos instead of a laptop). The textbooks used are loaned out, but there aren’t always enough of them. Students should be automatically provided with copies. Teachers’ schedules for the coming weeks should be announced on Fridays so that students know they will be switching teachers."
School's reply
"Thanks for your comments, we'll pass them on to the Academic Team so they know."

"The group lessons were great because they were small, with only 3 to 5 students.
The teacher changed every week, but most of them were excellent and very enthusiastic, so I was generally happy with the classes.
The school is located in Condesa, a safe, convenient, and trendy neighborhood."

We did a couple of tours during the time, which allowed for more spontaneous conversations and added a lot of learning time to the experience."

Positive aspects of school
"The staff were all very wonderful- patient, warm, understanding. Our tours and outings were among the best parts of my trip. I would certainly suggest adding a regular trip to Mercado Jamaica to the outings offered by the school."
Negative aspects
"I personally would have liked some more specific language instruction - drilling on the various verb tenses, for example. And though I signed up for a cooking class, the Mexico City location had no kitchen. So the staff did a great job organizing market trips (which were AMAZING) and we talked about food, but I never got to make any myself. Oh, and make the lunch break an hour - start class at 9:30 if you have to, but 30 minutes was really too short a lunch break."

"I took 2 weeks of intensive group lessons as well as additional private lessons. The organisation was excellent, all the staff were always available and helpful with any questions. The teachers were excellent, catering to individual interests and incorporating these topics into the lessons, so that in addition to the language, a lot of Mexican history and social and societal topics were also taught. Learning was fun. The central location of the school is excellent."
Negative aspects
"There's really nothing to mention, the 25-minute break at lunchtime could perhaps have been a little longer, but that's a luxury problem :-)"
