Ester, Leire and Hester were welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, encouraging. The lessons were engaging and confidence building. The lessons were never easy, but they were structured in a way that positively supported my learning. The facilities were appropriate to my needs. Overall I felt challenged and I think the phrase poco a poco is a good summary as well as philosophy. I would definately go back when time, money and circumstances allow it. Many thanks
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I originally thought I'd be doing 4 classes of 45 minutes a day but this was changed to 2 classes of an hour and a half, a day. This was OK as I still received 3 hours of direct tutorship a day.

Everything was in Spanish and they wanted us to speak as much as possible, which helps a lot. One teacher used the first bit of the class to just chat in Spanish about a topic of our choice and that was really helpful just to get a feeling for the language (I was a total beginner when I first arrived).
Insider tip: Get on the towers of the cathedral, it’s really wonderful with a beautiful view. Also try the bars and tapas which are not directly in the city centre, some are really good. But you also can get cheap and nice food in the centre.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Try to find the offer which includes the afternoon program and the conversation classes.
Other comments The teachers and managers were really nice and helpful. In my time there, there was a lot of American students and not to many from other places. But everybody was nice and friendly and I made some really nice friends!

Very friendly, competent, helpful teachers and organisers. Very personal support and atmosphere. The focus in the lessons is clearly on communication, but the necessary grammar is also taught. Small classes. Individual allocation to the appropriate level, very flexible.

Schedule of lessons changes frequently. No materials with which to work and revise at a later date.

The teachers and staff were kind and welcoming, and I really feel that I progressed in my language knowledge. The school in Salamanca is in a great location as well.
Disliked
I have no major complaints! One small thing is that in some of the rooms, the desks are really small.
Insider tip: All of the optional excursions that the school offers are really great! They do a wonderful job of teaching about the history of the area and making you feel a part of the culture.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: This was the perfect amount of time for me to be in Spanish class! I was at school from 9 AM to 1 PM, and then I had the rest of the day to explore, go on outings, and practice my Spanish with the locals!
Other comments The people are really what make the school great – I found everyone at Estudio Sampere to be very knowledgeable and very kind! I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

Some teachers speak at the speed of the most experienced students in the school with the exception of Sergio whose measured approach is good. Also very poor in one class I was just being given a questionnaire and told to walk round centre of Salamanca to fill in on your own with no follow-up or feedback. A waste of 1.5 hours - not teaching!

Young teachers, dynamic
Disliked
I don't think the teachers have had didactic training. They spend too little time explaining grammar and then want to practise too quickly on assignments. I myself am first grader (maths) and have learnt how to teach. Had a consultation with a senior classmate (German) here and he agreed with me.
Insider tip: Besides Salamanca, Alberca, Mogarraz and ciudad Rodriga are beautiful sights about an hour's drive away.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Lesson block was split into first part from 9:00 to 12:15 and a second part from 16:30 to 17:15. That's not so convenient if your wife is along.
Other comments They should pay more attention to teacher development in didactics.
