Spanish language school in La Coruña (Galicia)
|
|
 Our Spanish language school is in the centre of Coruña, just 5 minutes away from Riazor Beach and 7/10 minutes away from the old quarter of the city where you can find streets full of bars, restaurants and shops. We are next to Plaza de Pontevedra where many bus lines stop. Buses leave from here to both the coach and train stations.
We are in a building from the 1930´s that keeps the charm of the architecture of those times, with its high ceilings, its big gallery windows and its wooden doors. The school has 4 bright classrooms with windows facing outside. All the rooms are designed and painted in a warm smooth colour to make students feel like home. The decoration is based on Galician crafts and painters.
We also use a small but cosy living-room designed to hold conversation classes with 2 or 3 students and to watch movies as if they were at home. It also works as a resting area between classes. But the favourite gathering place is the kitchen where all students meet at the break to have a coffee or a tea, they get to know the others better while they keep practising.
We have a TV set, a DVD player as well as a video player. We have CD players to use in class. We have one computer with High Speed Internet connection for our students. We have a good selection of Spanish movies and we watch one every week as part of our activities.
All our teachers have a Philology university degree, and Masters or specialized training on teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. All of them have extensive teaching experience both in Spain and abroad in language schools and Universities.
