Success Stories
Senan is having a great time and says he’s speaking a lot of Spanish. He says Concha has no English and he also likes that as he has to speak Spanish when he’s at home in her house. The activities are great especially the hockey as again they are using Spanish without realising it.I have happily forwarded your course information to a friend of mine who’s son is going into transition year and would definitely encourage my daughter to do the course in 2 years time. I’m incredibly happy with how well everything is organized and how happy the boys are while still learning.

Gabriela is really enjoying the program. Looks like she is doing very well. Yes, we were wondering how she will find herself in Luisa’s family, as Gabriela is a bit shy, but all looks very positive. She enjoys it, and we are afraid she might love it. Fantastic country to live in. Gabriela is feeling more and more confident with her Spanish. Which is fantastic. Enjoying the group and the good relations. What to say more. Very positive so far.

Soy alumna de la Academia Teba desde septiembre en online y estoy encantada con los profes como Francis y Eli de ADE te lo explican todo y te resuelven todas las dudas, son muy atentos, yo estoy encantada y la academia igual ningún problema, Álvaro siempre cualquier duda o cualquier problema te ayuda y te la resuelve, encanta, lo único que faltaría (aunque igualmente los profes van subiendo test en la web), es la plataforma de test para nuestra oposición también, por lo demás estoy muy contenta con ellos.Publicado en Google![]()

Mi experiencia preparando la categoría de administrativo para la Junta de Andalucía ha sido muy buena, destacar que tanto Ángel como Eli (preparadores de la parte de teoría e informática) nos lo han hecho muy ameno, por parte de la academia también nos han dado todo el material necesario en cuanto a temario, esquemas y resúmenes. Para mí la principal ventaja es que las clases se transmiten online y quedan grabadas para poder verlas cuando necesites. Recomendable 100%Publicado en Google![]()

Obtaining a C1 certification without having previously attained any other levels was undoubtedly a significant challenge. However, what initially seemed daunting turned into an enriching and enjoyable experience, thanks to the supportive atmosphere and the exceptional guidance of our teacher, Ilze. Her dedication and encouragement transformed this demanding journey into a rewarding stage of growth rather than just a struggle. I am truly grateful for the invaluable support that allowed me to reach this milestone without excessive stress—at least, no more than usual. "Obtener la certificación C1 sin haber alcanzado previamente ningún otro nivel fue, sin duda, un gran desafío. Sin embargo, lo que al principio parecía abrumador se convirtió en una experiencia enriquecedora y gratificante, gracias al ambiente de apoyo y a la excepcional orientación de nuestra profesora, Ilze. Su dedicación y motivación transformaron este exigente camino en una etapa de crecimiento más que en una simple dificultad. Estoy realmente agradecida por el apoyo invaluable que me permitió alcanzar este logro sin un nivel de estrés excesivo, o al menos, no más de lo habitual."
