Testimonials

I absolutely loved my stay at Expanish school. My teachers (Fabian and Maria) were competent, very professional and considerate. They were using the right balance between the academic rigor and playful learning. My Spanish level skyrocketed since then (of course, practice is still the most important). Last but not least, the school also has wonderful afternoon activities to discover Madrid from a new perspective. Laura, the guide, is putting all her heart and soul into it. I would definitely recommend it!



Highly recommended! Learnt Spanish from scratch, really from not understanding anything to now I can speak and understand. Interesting teaching methods, various after school activities and opportunities to socialize with students from various countries. The teachers and staffs there are also caring, patient, supportive and warm. Even though I am far from my family, at Expanish I feel like I am part of the family. Thank you Expanish!

Amazing school! I had the best experience ever. The international environment is great for meeting new friends, my teacher Teresa was a pure angel and the supporting staff was very considerate of my needs. My spanish improved a lot and I’m very happy about my experience, I 100% recommend it to everyone.

A fantastic  and recommended Spanish school to improve your level as they encourage you to converse in Spanish only along with other people your level. They have all the resources and I saw huge improvements in only 2 months in my confidence!

I had a very lovely experience at Expanish! I was in town for a week on vacation to visit friends, and I thought it would be nice to take an intensive class in the mornings to practice conversation while my friends were working. I wasn’t sure if it would be all that helpful, but it was quite useful. The teacher, Teresa, truly focused on the things that were important at the C1/C2 level. Additionally, Teresa had a wonderful personality and seemed to truly enjoy what she does, and that made all the difference in the classroom.

Apart from a delightful experience in the classroom, the school itself is well-maintained and organized. I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t expecting this at all. So, I was pleasantly surprised. Lastly, they offer cultural activities in the evenings (a certain number included with tuition), and that was a very nice touch if you’re from abroad. I didn’t participate in any as I lived in Madrid prior and had friends to visit with, but they seemed to be quality activities.

Whenever I go back to Madrid next year to visit friends and relax, I plan to take another intensive class for a week in the mornings to practice conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I highly recommend Expanish! In fact, I recommended it to a co-worker last week, and she’s planning to take a class in the spring! ¡Muchísimas gracias a tod@s!
