Questions about enrollment.

What is the placement chat like?+

A 15-minute conversation at the school or by video call with Lucía. No written exam, no pressure. You leave knowing which group fits you, with a three-week plan if you decide to start.

Can I switch groups if I don't feel comfortable?+

Yes. In the first two weeks, no questions asked. After that, anytime there's room. Better to find the right group than to stick with the wrong one.

What if I travel or have guests at home?+

Missed classes are made up in another group at your level or applied to a private session. You won't be charged the full month if you give a week's notice.

Do you offer private lessons?+

Yes, mostly during weekday mornings. €45/hour, packs of 10 at a discount. For expats with erratic schedules or anyone who wants a 30-day intensive.

Do you work with local companies?+

Yes, in-company Business English at offices in different cities. Minimum 6 students · quarterly package. Rates from €120/student/month.

Placement chat · free and conversational
