About our Language Academy & our students
The academy opened in 2020 and has been growing rapidly since, mainly due to positive word of mouth. We are looking for teachers who want to join a motivated team and grow with us. Our approach is active learning, providing students of all ages with plenty of chance to practice the language in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
The majority of our students are young learners from age 5-10. On the whole they are engaged, participative and stick to speaking only English. This enables them to learn the language in a very natural and effective way. Their classes are completely dynamic and interactive so we don’t follow books. Instead we create engaging lessons based on specific topics which interest them.
We also have several teenage groups who want engaging lessons with lots of opportunity for interaction. In addition to developing their English language skills, the majority aim to obtain the Cambridge exam C1 level before finishing secondary school.
For adult learners of all levels, we offer conversation classes to help them develop their speaking and listening skills. We have a wealth of resources to choose from or teacher can come up with their own lesson ideas. The adults that come to us want to practice their language skills and communicate more confidently with lots of feedback and vocabulary development.
Teachers may also build up their hours by taking on one to one and online classes. We have several students, mainly teens or adults who prefer to study privately for a specific objective or general English. These classes are usually online with students from Spain and abroad. We also offer group online classes for a national training company whose clients are mainly in the hotel sector.
