This was a really unique experience exchanging cultures and learning about ecuador as a whole. I had a wonderful time with students and the different levels of understanding English. This has helped improve my Spanish and communication skills. The host was supportive, kind and friendly. The location is safe and reasonably close to downtown and other surrounding areas. I highly recommend this facility due to the fact they are changing lives not just teaching English. Thank you soul much for the opportunity professionally and personally . Blessings to all!

Both the staff and the students were very nice. I really enjoyed the lessons with the students. The cultural exchange during the lessons with the locals was particularly interesting and beautiful for me. Apart from the lessons, you have a lot of free time to explore Cuenca and go on day trips. However, after about 10 days I had done most of the leisure activities, which meant that I got bored during the following Christmas holidays. After the 26.12. the people were more likely to spent time with me during my leisure.

My stay at the school was fantastic! Amazing team, and teachers. This was a great experience and the staff went above and beyond to ensure all needs were met. It was a pleasure to get to know the students and help improve their English. The students were very respectful and eager to learn. The teachers were very friendly and welcoming. We went out to lunch and dinner together which was a very welcome surprise and much appreciated. I would 100% recommend the school to anybody looking for an immersive cultural experience. I had so much fun!

My experience at the school was lovely. All the staff are so kind and make you feel at home. The speaking sessions with students allow you to meet new people and learn about Ecuador. During my free time I really enjoyed exploring the city and nearby attractions. There is a space at the school where volunteers stay and we were super well taken care of. This was one of my favourite world packers experiences, I would definitely recommend :)
