Quito spanish schools

ANA'S HOME is located in Quito, Ecuador; between the old and modern city, on a beautiful hill where Incas built the moon's temple, called San Juan. Our modern home not only provides a spacious and comfortable place to live and learn but is also conveniently located close to the city center and provides stunning views of Quito and the surrounding mountains. Lessons are based on an efficient program covering vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and conversation. We have courses for people with a range of Spanish skills, from beginners to advanced students.

Each program consists of oral and written exercises. In addition to our classes, we offer study materials; and cultural programs that include art exposition, lectures and travel. We offer classes for individuals or groups of up to five people, every day of the week, and in the place of your choice: Ana's Home, your lodging, in a café, or even along your travels. Our highly qualified teachers have extensive experience in teaching Spanish to visitors and are flexible with your learning requirements.

The courses

Based on our broad experience we can almost guarantee that you will be able to speak quite fluent Spanish after 6 – 8 weeks of study. Our classes can be arranged according to your needs and schedule, any day of the week. This didactic material has been recommended by Spanish teachers as the best and more modern tool for "one to one" teaching. Our teachers are prepared and modernized in these topics, every time. You receive an Official Certificate at the end of your successful general studies. Students who spend less time will also receive a certificate for their studies.

You choose the number of hours that you want to study. Our recommended study program is 4 hours a day. However, if you want to learn out of the classroom you can go with your teacher to a museum, a café or on an excursion and practice your Spanish while you explore new places. We also offer programs in the jungle and in the coast, classes for individuals and groups, or a combination of both.

LEVELS

Levels of proficiency in the ALTE Framework D.E.L.E exams are linked to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, teaching, assessment, achieved by ALTE . In fact they are the only certificated exams referred to in the Framework document as specifically linked to it by a long-term research project. Qualifications are plotted against six clearly defined levels. This makes it easy for anyone involved in language teaching and testing (learners, teachers, teacher trainers etc.) to see the level of different qualifications. It also means that employers and educational institutions can easily compare qualifications and see how they relate to exams they already know in their own country.

EXTRACURRICULAR COURSES
