Nuestros estudiantes opinan

  • "Highest recommendation! I attended classes at El Carmen Spanish School for a week while I visited Valencia. I would recommend the school to anyone who desires to learn Spanish. My instructor, Mari Cruz Pinar, is one of the most capable teachers I have had in any subject. She is sensitive to each student's strengths and weaknesses, and her exuberance is contagious. She helped to make sense of many of the rules that had confused me in the past. I will return to Valencia later this year, and I look forward to more classes at El Carmen Spanish School, and especially with Mari Cruz Pinar".

  • "This was my second time taking classes at El Carmen. Both times the teachers were fantastic. It's really hard to teach in an environment where students are coming and going all the time, but they manage to do it. I have a long way to go, but in just 3 weeks, my comprehension has improved. Great mix if students from all over the place and all different ages. Always a friendly and non-judgmental learning environment. I look forward to taking classes here again on my next trip to Valencia."

  • "Spent nearly four weeks learning Spanish at El Carmen. I was a total beginner with just a few hours of learning on an app. Admin team was great. The teaching also very good. We were pushed and did lots of homework (it's optional), and that helped with our learning. Luckily for me they speak slowly with lots of repetition and revision of sections. We had three different teachers and learnt different things from each. Thanks to all at El Carmen school for a solid grounding in Spanish."

  • "El Carmen is a great place to learn Spanish in Valencia. The staff and teachers are all very welcoming and competent. The teaching methodology allows for maximum flexibility as the school has rolling enrollments, so your classmates may change fairly regularly. You can attend anywhere from 4 to 20 hours of class per week. It's also a great place to meet people from around the world as the students are very diverse. All of my teachers have been both very professional and friendly, and classes are fun with a good combination of grammar, cultural topics, and time to practice speaking. I highly recommend."

  • "Great Spanish school, nice casual/relaxed and fun classes, enthusiastic teachers and excellent facilities. The most notable experience for me was *not* looking at the clock wondering when the class would be over! That's a good sign of engaging learning. I've definitely gained lots of confidence in speaking and understanding Spanish."

  • "El Carmen Spanish school is a little gem in the heart of Valencia. So grateful to have had the opportunity to study Spanish there. Always enjoyed my classes and got so much out of them.
