Our students say
The Spanish+TEFL courses in Buenos Aires were helpful in preparing me about what to expect as an English Teacher in Buenos Aires. The program also helped facilitate interviews with language institutes and job opportunities. My practice teaching sessions were helpful because they exposed me to real English classes and gave me the opportunity to practice. My instructor was great and had lots of experience teaching English in Buenos Aires. She was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot! I also found all the Ibero Spanish School staff (teachers, coordinators) very nice. I appreciated the way I was hosted for my first day. The Ibero Spanish school is full of nice students I enjoyed to meet, from all over the world and with different profiles. I appreciated this diversity. Going to Íbero school is definitely a great way to make new friends. Thank you for everything. Dan, USA
I loved the one week I studied at Ibero. Only wish I could have stayed longer. I think the 3 week beginners course is perfect for those who have done little to no Spanish previously. I really liked studying Spanish at Íbero because of the chilled out atmosphere in the school. The school was pleasant and the staff, very helpful. I learnt a lot and am happy that I got to both observe other´s teachers classrooms as well as create my own class lessons. The book was great. My professor was excellent, knowledgeable and engaging.The teachers were awesome and really knew how to keep things interesting in the small classes. Also the school organized many opportunities to socialize with fellow students/travelers. These are only some of the many reasons to choose Ibero as the place to learn Spanish! Janice, USA
I have studied with a few language schools and I would say Íbero is the best so far! I have really enjoyed my lessons. My teacher has been very friendly and patient and the classes have been fun and informative. I would definitely recommend the school to other people. I think the exercises in the book will also be very useful in the future. The classes include writing, speaking and vocabulary practice.I will be coming back very soon! Laura Schweizer
