AMERICAN
SPANISH SCHOOL
is an aknowledged language
school which has been teaching Spanish as a Second Language since 1991. Our
curriculum is approved by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education, and our
experienced native language teachers, all with 4-9 years of experience,
guarantee successful results.
American Spanish School is located in the modern part of Quito, close to the commercial area, one block from the main Av. Amazonas, surrounded by banks with ATM machines, shopping centers, bars, restaurants, cafes, discotheques, peñas, cultural centers, post offices and close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Migration Office, and other institutions that can be of help to foreigners.
Each new week of classes you will have another teacher, so you will experience different background and personalities. However, under request you can continue with the same teacher until you wish.
The basis of our courses is the modern usage of the Spanish Language and we focus on development of understanding of both spoken and written language, as well as the ability to express oneself orally and in writing. Our courses also emphasize pronunciation, style, idioms and grammar.
Individual lessons (one-to-one) are the most intensive form of language learning and ensure the greatest possible success, as you can learn according to your own pace. The lessons are tailored to suit the individual needs of anyone, from those requiring a particularly high standard of language training to those wishing to make maximum progress in minimum time.
This kind of lesson can be adapted according to your present level of knowledge and personal learning needs without having to take other students into consideration. The lessons can focus entirely on the subjects, learning targets and topics required by you and they can deal with technical aspects and vocabulary aimed specifically at you and your professional requirements.
Furthermore, our practical one-to-one teaching methods will enable you to use Spanish successfully and appropriately in everyday situations, in your career and in your studies.
Our individual one-to-one courses , designed to meet the requirements of students who want to make maximum progress in the chosen time require 4 to 6 weeks, 4 to 7 hours per day starting at 08h30 or at 13h30. However, you can take less or more. For beginners, the minimum acceptable is two weeks. Individual lessons are provided in separate cabins where there are only two persons, you and your teacher.
To make our courses more effective we make use of video films and teacher-accompanied visits to places of cultural interest and tourist attractions.

CLASSES
To give the students the opportunity of sharing the class with other students, we provide also small group classes with 2, 3, 4 or 5 students per class. Group classes are provided in small classrooms.
