My time at the Spanish Language Institute was extremely beneficial. I found it a warm and supportive place to learn.

Instituto asombroso! Aprendí mucho estudiando aquí y lo recomendaría a cualquier amigo que busque lecciones de español personalizadas.

Excellent instruction. Maite was patient and prepared. For an affordable price I dramatically improved my Spanish in six weeks.

I live in Mexico now, and the foundation I learned with Maite was invaluable.

I could not have been more pleased with my lessons. Maite went above and beyond to make my classes a success. She was always prepared with lesson plans and homework. Maite even went to the effort of trying different learning techniques: conversations, listening to different Spanish dialects, playing games and more. I took private lessons for 90 minutes Monday through Friday for 4 weeks. As a bonus Maite is a great guide to Bolivia - I loved my time in La Paz and Maite’s recommendations for places to go and things to eat were always fantastic. I learned a lot (and laughed a lot!) and can’t imagine finding a better teacher. Anywhere!

We have really enjoyed learning with Maite and the Spanish Language Institute. She has been very flexible with our schedule, and offers classes through zoom which has allowed us to do long distance learning. She is always prepared and has even personalized classes for us based on specific needs or events coming up. We have had classes about doctor visits before an appointment, and many other specific classes that have helped so much navigating life in a different language and culture.

I would highly recommend that anyone interested in learning Spanish take classes here. They can teach beginners, offer review lessons as a refresher course, or even help those wanting to speak at a more advanced level.

I took Spanish lessons with Maite for two weeks while doing an internship in La Paz. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kind and perfectly matched the Spanish with my level teaching me in English and Spanish making more of the lesson in Spanish each time as my ability grew. It was exactly what I needed as a beginner and I left the class much more confident! Highly recommend
