More about the program, life in Spain, the schools, host families and a bit of everything in between :)

Megan from Ireland. Everyone at the school is beyond friendly and welcoming and they just want to help you to settle in and do your best. Ask for help or ideas if you need it! The students really love coming to the classes.

I have gained so much confidence in my ability to teach, stand up and talk in front of students, essentially be in charge of my classes and of course living and settling into a new country.  Teaching English as a career is something I will strongly consider pursuing in the future.

Kieran from England. My time in the school has been nothing short of incredible. The teachers have welcomed me with open arms and the students are enthusiastic and curious.

I would recommend this program for all those who wish to try something new and experiment with teaching. I have learnt so much and feel it would be worthwhile for people who are curious about teaching or people who have taught before. If I could say something to someone thinking about joining the program – do it!! I haven’t looked back since I started, and I’ve had the time of my life so far. It will be an experience that I remember for a very long time, and I’m glad I’ve done it.

Alice from Ireland. I am more confident around leading a group of kids any age in an activity as I know now what to do and not do. I have gained experience in both arts and crafts and English teaching and assisting.

I have had a very positive experience on this program. Everyone is nice and friendly and I feel I got lucky with my school and host family placement. I have also made some new friends from different areas than myself so we must plan visits with each other once the program finishes.

Kaetlyn from America. My experience with this school has been like no other. I have grown relationships with not only the students but the staff as well. I look at every individual here as if there are my family.

My expectations for this program have been beyond met. This town, the school, and the people have made this place a home for me. Coming here I expected to make a difference to some students, but I never expected this town, school, and these people to change my life in a way that they have.

Feidhlim from Ireland. No regrets. Just do it. Open your mind and eyes and enjoy the process. Every day is a school day. This program offers the right amount of experience for anyone thinking about teaching as a possible career.

Getting out of your comfort zone every day is essential for growth as I have learned with this program. Overtime I became more organized, and it gave me confidence to be more assertive in the teaching position and I became more creative with my material as a result. I’ve learned what it takes to improve and succeed.

Lucrezia from Ireland. I definitely don’t regret doing this programme and I highly recommend it to anyone trying to figure out who they are and what they want to be.

Overall, my experience so far has been positive, I’m happy I took the chance to do this programme. It is very rewarding in the sense that you learn a lot about yourself, develop new skills, meet new people, you develop an interest in a new culture and language and potential career path. My current experience has outweighed my prior expectations, although it hasn’t been perfect, it is still something I’d do again if I had the chance.
