Small, boutique Spanish Language School – Personalized Spanish – is best for people who are serious about learning Spanish. We have won several International Awards and were voted the Best Small Spanish School, but real measurement of our success is hundreds of satisfied students who choose to return to our school for further study or improvement of their Spanish language skills. We are proud to have the highest percentage of returning students of all of the Spanish Language Schools in Costa Rica.

Personalized approach is at the center of our educational philosophy. Most of our students learn Spanish in Private or Semi-Private Classes. We also offer Small Group Spanish Classes with no more than 3 students per Spanish Teacher. Our personalized approach starts with advanced preparation of the Individual Learning Plan for each student, based on her or his current level of Spanish, reason for studying Spanish language and the student’s special area of interest. Most importantly, we design an Individual Spanish Program for each student based on his or her Natural Learning Style.

Although, there are hundreds of Spanish Language Schools in Costa Rica, many of which are very good, to the best of our knowledge, no other Spanish school prepares Individual Learning Plans for each student, and no other school teaches Spanish based on each student’s particular learning style. This is unique to Personalized Spanish, and though we invest more time and money in preparing completely individualized programs, it really pays off in amazing success our students achieve even in a relatively short time. If you are serious about studying Spanish and want to see practical results, we guarantee you will receive the best value for your time and money.

Natural Learning Style is the key to our students’ fast, easy and effective learning of Spanish and better future recall and fluency in the use of the Spanish language. All people learn differently. Each of us has a unique way of perceiving and processing new information. Some people learn better by seeing, some by hearing, and some by practicing. Some people need to see the big picture and understand the theory, while others need to approach their tasks step by step and in a practical way. At Personalized Spanish we use scientifically proven proprietary techniques and methods of teaching Spanish language based on this principle. No matter what is your particular learning style, we will design a special program and use teaching methods that work best for you.

Individualized methodology is a hallmark of Personalized Spanish. All our teachers are University graduates, specializing in teaching Spanish as a second language, and they are extensively trained to identify each student’s Natural Learning Style and to teach Spanish using methods most appropriate to this particular learning style. We do not invest in flashy brochures or expensive advertising. Most of our investment is in the quality of our teachers and in continual training and professional development of our staff.

Studying Spanish in Costa Rica has unique advantages. Costa Rica – known as a jewel of Central America – is a popular tourist destination and it is famous for its open, friendly, educated people, stunning natural beauty and biodiversity, modern facilities and high standard of living, but among the Spanish Language professionals it is acknowledged for its natives’ pure, un-accented, Castilian Spanish – a standard Spanish, which you can use with confidence in any Spanish speaking country.

Homestay plays a particularly important role in the immersion method of learning Spanish. Students live with th
e Costa Rican family and share meals, conversations and everyday activities with them, learning to use Spanish language in practical situations. Our school is located in a safe, clean, beautiful upscale neighborhood and our students enjoy higher levels of meals and comforts offered to them by the upper-middle class families as compared to the typical homestay conditions offered by most other schools.
