My experience at the school was very rewarding, since I got to interact with the students of different age groups as well as different English levels sometimes. That truly push me to become more creative to keep the groups engaged at all times. I've learned so much. The accommodation is in campus, while it was ok, it sometimes was too overstimulating for me. The hours and agreed terms were respected. I think maybe the culture is quieted, because the communications was held to a minimum. Overall I'm super grateful for the experience and do recommend it. Thank you!!

The owners are sweet and kind and they respond quickly if you need anything. The school staff are welcoming and friendly and great at teaching, evidenced by how quickly the students advance. The students are social and motivated to learn. The location is great, in a safe area surrounded by restaurants and stores. The historic downtown, Madre Park, and Tumi are all well within comfortable walking distance, as are the many rivers. These have lovely paths and bridges to walk. There are many large malls just a short bus ride away. Make sure to buy a transport card before you leave the terminal.

My stay at the school was really incredible. I had an amazing time getting to know my students and the staff. I learned so much and made lots of friends. This was my first WorkAway experience but it was great! the room was comfortable, the kitchen was always stocked with fresh food and I had lots of free time to explore the city and meet new people! I am very thankful for the school and would love to return someday!

I had a wonderful time at the school. The students were eager to practice their conversation skills by discussing specific topics and playing games in every lesson. Lessons were usually 4–5 hours per day, with 2-hour sessions on Saturdays. Sundays and Wednesdays were free. the school is located very close to downtown—within walking distance of many attractions. The accommodation had great facilities, a clean room, and a kitchen that was always re-stocked with breakfast. Thanks to Nina for coordinating, and to all the other staff who helped make this a wonderful experience.
