"My teacher Ilse was so kind , knowledgeable and fun."

Angela Huerta, student van USA

Loved the teacher Ilse and our casual locations for private lessons. I loved the way she adjusted the content to personalize for my needs. I’d live to work with her again!

"The instructors, Ilse and Joshua were exceptionally committed to my learning"

John Elms, student van USA

Classes ouside of traditional classroom were very effective. All lessons were conducted in a Starbucks food court kind of setting. I participated in two weeks of instruction. Week one seemed formulaic, coberng topics irrespective of my prior knowledge. Weeks two very much tailored to my needs for growh. I did not utilize the school for housing instead oping for an Air&B. I was not impressed with the logistics of the school admnsitration! I signed up for a mix of group and private instruction. Because of my pretest plaement there was not a group suitable for me to be placed in. That was a welcome result as placment as a pure beginner would have been a waste of money spent! Instead, I had four hours of private instruction per day divided amog two instructors. Starting week 2, I was told that I would have four hours per day with one instructor. NO BUENO! I complained litterally to my two instructors and the schedule reverted to 2 hours per instructor per day. AT NO POINT DID THE SCHOOL COMMUNICATE WITH ME DIRECTLY. So, lessons were effective, settings were good, instructors were competent and engaging, but the professioalism of the TAAN school was lackin.

"Perfect for me"

Kiran Rajput, student van VK

I loved my teacher Ilse, so enthusiastic and kind. Unfortunately there were only 2 of us on the lessons so we ended up having 2hrs individual classes as we were at different levels.
My confidence grew hugely by having this one to one time, geared around my own preferences and pace
We generally didn’t go to many new places as we gravitated towards air con!
I didn’t mind that at all.
I would definitely book Ilse again, Muchas gracias

"Disorganized"

Amanda, student van Canada

I received about half the hours I had paid for, as much of the time was spent driving/walking to places where class would take place, this included a nearly hour walk to a supermarket during one of the days. Teachers were switched multiple times and there was no lesson plans. Could have learned more just talking to locals.

"4 weeks exceeded my expectations"

Marius Julios Zbeitung Escobar

Took a 4 week standard spanish course with teacher María and a group of students which included Germán French Italian América and Canadian. I enjoyed having class in different locations everyday and having activities each week which included salsa dancing, yoga, cooking and a class in a cenote cave. 4 weeks were ideal. And took me from beginners to intermediate. I also enjoyed the fact that we had group projects during class which allowed students to work together and make presentations and discussions.

"Enjoyable Spanish course"

Andy Jing Schultz

I took 4 weeks of private lessons with Maria. We had class in different beaches and locations in the area. My wife also participated in some sessions, and we loved the class the setting and the food. We are now travelling through Mexico and would recommend this school to anyone.

Pd. We loved a lady we met who was 90 and taking group class and was more active and lively than teenagers in the group. We stayed in a hostel near the main avenida.

"I had a great time studying for 6 weeks during last January and February at Playa del Carmen Spanish. I was able to advance from beginner B to intermediate 1. Class was split in grammar and conversation, 2 hours each and the material provided was a mix of book and own teacher made material. We not only learned by the book but by exploring Playa and having our ear get used to the language. During weeks we would have class in cenotes, cafes, cinemas, parks and more meaning we were able to explore the area while learning Spanish. Overall i fully recommend."

"Good school for dynamics people"

Alice Garcia

I took their course both in México City and Playa del Carmen. This is a good school to include activities for good value for money and learn Spanish. I recomend this school for dynamic people who want to learn with motivational teachers and be on the move

"DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING- MORE OF A PLACE TO MEET PEOPLE IN A CAFE"

Breanne Kamyszek, student van Canada

I only went to Playa del Carmen Spanish Institute for a week and I am very happy I didn't invest more money into these classes considering they weren't really classes. My "teacher" didn't have a curriculum to follow, we met at a busy coffee shop which was loud and hard to hear. never showed us the fundamentals, gave homework and never checked it. i basically paid to meet people and make friends. i never learned one thing. i switched schools and studied so much better elsewhere. the only cool thing was the activity and we made authentic Mexican cuisine.

"A fun time of learning"

Paula Apro, student van USA

Overall I really enjoyed the class, but the days were too long. I think I would have learned the same amount in half the time. Although it was very nice to be outdoors for the classes it was sometimes loud and distracting. Not always the best learning environment. The excursions were a nice touch, but nothing was learned so it almost felt like wasted time.

"Die Privatstunden haben sich bezahlt gemacht"

Susanne Renggli, student van Afghanistan

Ich habe mich nur für 2 Wochen, täglich 2 Privatlektionen angemeldet. Die Lehrerin Alejandra war super! Immer gut vorbereitet und sehr geduldig. Für die Übung der Konversation hat sie immer interessante Themen ausgesucht, so dass ein interessanter Dialog entstehen konnte, und ich viel über Mexico, seine Einwohner und Bräuche erfahren konnte. Auf meine Fragen und Anregungen ist sie immer eingegangen. Dass die Kursstunden jeden Tag in einem andern Café stattfanden, hat mir sehr gefallen. Es war zwar nicht immer genz ruhig für die Arbeit, aber dafür gemütlich. So lernte ich mich in den Strassen vonPlaya del Carmen besser zurecht zu finden und lernte all die hübschen Cafés kennen.

"Many experiences in one"

Carusso A

I would say this is several experiences in a single one because you have lessons outdoors most of the time as opposed of a classroom. My teachers Maria and Aldo we both knowledgeable and patient with the needs of the students in our group through the course of the 6 weeks arranged. I liked the school was flexible with the included weekly activity: they gave us options among beaches, cooking and salsa lessons. Do know lessons are dynamic and for students who enjoy being outdoors as opposed to a 4 walled room.

"Fiasco"

Jacques Robitaille, student van Canada

I am sorry to say, A class in a cafe with noise and many people, in addition I was talking to other students who do not speak better than me. To learn I need to speak with someone who speaks good Spanish, there was not a course plan at all. At the fine exchange for a private class the teacher called Aldo went very well. And I did not live with a family I was business that I was renting room I was speaking in English with my neighbor in the room. I thought to go with a family in imerscción. Discula I do not want to offend anyone

"I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of my class"

Marcus Zocouvic

I was on holiday learning Spanish and exploring Playa del Carmen. The class taking place in different spots and in chilled locations proved the perfect combination for enjoying the beach and learning Spanish. I was originally planning on doing a 2 week course but found the group of teachers so approachable and dedicated that did 4 weeks. I didn't book accommodation so not sure how to review it.

"Great teachers, but the school structure was a little challanging"

Kelsie Louise Graham, student van Mexico

The teachers were amazing. Although my "beginner" course wasnt so beginner due to other students being more advanced ( even though they were only there for the first week, they recieved preference, which left me extremely lost and confused). I also found the classes in cafe setting with mostly dialog a little challanging as i am a visual learning. Paulina my teeacher was extremly helpful and fun.

"My experience far exceeded my expectations."

Sharon Tibbits, student van USA

First of all my teacher Maria was the most patient, kindest, professional with a sense of humor that I have ever encountered. She was extremely well organized and our sessions clipped along at a consistent steady pace doing various leaning activities. I had some personal concerns about being in a 4 hour class but the time just flew by and before I knew it I was getting my homework assignment and class was over.

I did appreciate the homework factor. Another student I talked with on the last day who had another teacher told me she didn't have homework to do after her classes. For me the homework really helped build my vocabulary and decipher all the options for verbs, and nouns and to put sentences together. At first the homework was basic but by the end of the week it was substantial, but that is why I signed up for the class. To learn as much Spanish as I could in a short amount of time.

I also had the gift of being the only student in class that week with the exception of the first day where there were two more students finishing up their week of classes. Subsequently, I basically had one on one private lessons with Maria for the rest of the week. Maria gave me a lot of instruction on how to keep learning and practicing Spanish when I returned to the states. One of those things was to start reading children's story books in Spanish which I have found to be really helpful in learning how to speak, put logical sentences together and to build vocabulary.

We met in cafe's and on the last day we met at Walmart and went grocery shopping. Maria had a list of foods I had to find and pick out and it was a great way to learn. After class we went to another teacher's home and joined her and another student and and we made sopes from scratch and sauteed cactus, which I had never eaten before, and other vegetables to put on the sopes. Then we grilled up some meats at the outside pavilion grill, where we all sat down and enjoyed a delicious meal together. It was a fun way to end the week and to spend some down time with Maria and get to know her not as just my teacher but as a person with a life outside of teaching. It also helped me be in a social setting and where I could practice conversational Spanish in a group without feeling intimidated.

I stayed in a boutique hotel on the north end of town and could easily walk to all the class destinations.

Honestly, I do not have anything to report that was negative or that I did not like. And i am already planning a trip back to take class with Maria again.

I would highly recommend the Spanish Institute to anyone interested in learning the language. It is affordable, the syllabus is well organized and you are not stuck inside a classroom setting, Sweet Maria was awesome and very passionate about teaching non Spanish speakers.

It was an all around awesome experience!

Shay Tibbits

I enjoyed the class because it allowed me both to learn Spanish and discover locations where locals go in Playa del Carmen like cafes, art galleries. I took the intermediate class in the 20 hour per week course I can't remember the name but learned a lot and enjoyed my time. I didn't book housing but aulirbns are quite convenient as an option.
