Our Spanish School in Tucuman

The success of our Spanish School in Tucuman lies in the fact that our school is not a very large school: it dedicates itself to warm and personalized attention in which the student finds rapid answers to his needs. This is why our courses are tailor-made according to each student.
The school is located in the centre of the city, the financial area, only five blocks away from the main square, the Plaza Independencia with its historical centre.

Spanish Courses:

Trainers - Professionals

In a friendly atmosphere, essential for the effective assimilation of a foreign language, the courses are taught by an experienced team of young professionals with specialist qualifications in the required areas and with a great ability to build relationships with each and every one of the students. These teachers are directed and audited by a co-ordinator who is in charge of the organization, monitoring and schedule of activities to ensure maximum progress.

All of our teachers are Argentinian, Spanish being their mother tongue. They are specialized university graduates, and it is important to stress their high level of cultural knowledge, which allows them to have an excellent interaction with the students. As well as this, most of our teachers have travelled to other countries, and they are therefore in a position to understand the particular needs that arise from cultural diversity. 

Range of Courses

The courses are divided into different categories: Standard, Intensive, Immersion, Spanish for Specific Purposes, and Individual,  depending on the student’s needs.

The students are placed in the appropriate course according to their previous knowledge of the language. The different levels of learning are: Basic, Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced.

Before starting the course, the student will be evaluated through an interview and an exam in which his or her level and specific needs are analysed and determined, thus allowing his or her placement  in the corresponding course.

Accommodation

Staying with an Argentine host family

We believe that the option of living with a family is the best way to achieve total linguistic and cultural immersion; however  this alternative involves some flexibility and getting used to local customs and the Argentinian lifestyle.

Volunteering Projects

There are several totally different projects that cover all the volunteers’ expectations and in which they can participate either combining both, or in an individual one.  

1) Arts and Crafts School “Aurora de un Mundo Nuevo”-Dawn of a New World 

This possibility involves participating in the activities of a school which was created for craftsmen and people in and from the surrounding community of the city of Santa María in the province of Catamarca located in the mountains.

2) Neighbourhood "Nueva Esperanza”- New Hope-

This is a poor neighbourhood in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, where different community support activities are held.

Below we describe in detail the places and projects that are taking place at present as well as a brief history of their origin. In every case you can choose programs that are already being developed, or start others according to the creativity of the participant, depending on the local situation.
