The teachers were good in general but the organisation is ridiculous and I didn´t get the hours that I paid for. I had every day, one week from 09:00-10:45 and then from 11:00-12:15 courses - this equals to 3 hours a day - 15 hours a week and I paid for 20! First of all this and second, the evaluation test was done Monday Morning which took another 1h45 from my paid lessons. In other schools those tests are done online before coming and the oral test via phone before arriving or if not possible before the course starts. So in fact I only had 13h15 of course and It makes me very upset. I want to be reimbursed for the missing hours because this is ridiculous.
Regarding the activities and housing I can not comment as I didn´t participe in that program. The location of the school is good as the subway and many restaurants/shops are close to buy something during the break. As mentioned, the teachers are good but they can only make something out of what they are allowed to and if you limit them with hours and missing material - it´s hard to perform well.
Dear Elisabeth,
We feel very sorry that your experience was not as fruitful and delighted as you expected :(
We normally send the confirmation of the course, invoice and online level test to every student but maybe it could directly go to your spam or junk email.
Our lessons lasts 45 minutes and we always describe our courses as such but if you feel you need more time to practice your Spanish, we are very glad to give you 2-Skype lessons of 1 hour each as added value for free. As private tuition, you can focus them on the lessons you missed that day or any other specific subject such as grammar, literature, history, current cultural topics…
I hope we could suit your needs :)
Regards,
Estudio Sampere team
