Avec plaisir, j’aimerais donner mon opinion concernant les deux semaines que j’ai passées à l’Instituto Superior de Español, en Quito.
Premièrement, l’inscription s’est très bien faite. Le directeur, Eugenio Córdova, a répondu avec précision et rapidité à mes questions.
En ce qui concerne mon expérience à l’Institut proprement dit, elle fut excellente. Les personnes qui y travaillent sont professionnelles et disponibles. L’ambiance est agréable, rapidement je me suis sentie chez moi.
Les activités sont diversifiées. Elles m’ont permis de connaître davantage la culture équatorienne, la cuisine équatorienne. De plus, la visite guidée de la ville illuminée en soirée est un incontournable.
J’ai eu l’opportunité de profiter de leçons d’espagnol privées. Tito est un professeur d’expérience, qui explique bien et avec simplicité les règles grammaticales, et qui est patient.
Finalement, j’ai atteint mon objectif qui était d’améliorer mon espagnol, le parler avec plus d’aisance, et d’augmenter mes connaissances de la langue espagnole.
J’aurais beaucoup aimé disposer d’une ou de deux semaines supplémentaires. Ce sera pour un prochain séjour.
Merci à toute l’équipe. Colette, Canada.

I’ve spent seven weeks here and there is so much to say about this amazing school! First of all, I have learned so much and I feel extremely comfortable with speaking to anyone in Spanish. All of the teachers have a different style of teaching and it is amazing to be taught in all types of different ways because it really ensures that you are retaining the content. It is amazing for people of all different learning types. Another really important thing about this school is that you never feel put down. I have made so many mistakes while learning, as anyone would, and everytime my teachers have reexplained the concept until I understood it clearly. Apart from the amazing learning environment that this school provides, it is also an amazing place where you can find fun, safe tours of the wonders of Ecuador. I have done all the excursions and not one of them I regret. They are also priced extremely well. My favorite part of the school was meeting amazing life-long friends from all parts of the world. Learning with them makes it so much easier because you can relate to one another. I have loved my time in this school so much and I am so sad to leave but very proud of what I have learned.

I really appreciated the Spanish course I had with the institute. The teaching and the course book were excellent. I also really appreciated how the institute also offered cooking, salsa lessons and a walking tour of Quito and how Valeria and staff personally helped provide other trip and excursion ideas during our stay in Quito and Ecuador. They really go the extra mile to help students have an enriching and full language and cultural experience. Thank you for everything!! I love Ecuador!

The staff at ISE have gone above and beyond to help me learn Spanish, they have been very friendly, supportive and accomodating. I now feel safer and more comfortable travelling as a back packer and being able to communicate more clearly with the locals. Thanks to everyone at ISE who made my experience at the school a great one! – Esther

This was my best experience at a Spanish immersion school. The teachers are excellent and the entire staff is anxious to make your experience meet your expectations. That excellence extends to the home stay experience as well. You won’t regret choosing Instituto Superior de Español.

Instituto Superior de Español is an amazing school. I spent a week studying professional Spanish with a focus on journalism and human rights, and it was fantastic. All the staff are lovely and care deeply about their students; the Director picked me up at the airport at midnight (!), and my teacher, Tito, was extraordinary. I can’t think of a single thing I’d change about this place!
