At an extra cost you can have lessons at your home, office or hotel. We will send a teacher right to your door, perfectly prepared to teach a class in exact same way we do at our school.

Mini Groups - Spanish Courses for couples or friends

If you and your couple, or a small group of friends of no more than 3 are going to sign up together for the same Spanish course and for any reason feel the need to have more privacy and would be more comfortable if the class size was limited to your private party this option is for you. A Mini Group also is intended for those couples or friends who sign up together for one of the personalized Spanish courses described below in which you will not be joined by other students.

In this option when you sign up for any course with your couple or friends (no more than 3 in total) you just ask us to limit the size of your group to the 2 or 3 of you. CHECKOUT PRICES FOR OUR MINI GROUP OPTION.

Medical Spanish Course - Spanish for Health Professionals

This Spanish course is designed for doctors, medical students, physicians, nurses, hospital managers and health care professionals & practitioners in general who need to use Spanish in their workplace to directly communicate with Spanish speaking patients or colleagues.

Health care professionals will learn how to establish and confirm medical appointments and to receive a patient and take his admission data in Spanish. You will also be capable of interviewing a patient in Spanish, asking him about his situation to detect symptoms of possible diseases. You will practice taking notes of an interview with a patient and understand his medical history in Spanish. You will learn to explain diagnosis, treatments and procedures.

We can also prepare your Medical Spanish Course to cover specialized vocabulary or terminology related to a specific specialty. Ethical topics and current health care policies can also be discussed or debated. Hospital visits to the Social Security hospital in Boquete can be arranged and we can also put you in contact with doctors in the public or private medical sector seeking volunteers.

This Spanish course is intended for students who have at least reached an intermediate Spanish level (Conversational I, B1, according to our level system). Many students who wish to learn Medical Spanish, join our Group 4 PLUS Course. In this way they have 4 hours of normal lessons with other classmates in which they advance their general Spanish skills and they then dedicate additional hours to private lessons in which they enhance their Medical Spanish.

Spanish Courses for children and young teenagers

If you have just moved to Panama and would like to make the transition for your kids as easy as possible we would be more than happy to arrange a Spanish course for them to get them speaking Spanish and making new friends as soon as possible. For those of you who have retired in Boquete and will have your grandchildren visit during their vacations we can also arrange a summer program for them that combines Spanish lessons & plenty of ecotourism activities. We also help families plan their Vacation Program so that parents and children can have Spanish lessons at our Spanish school. We will help your family make the most out of your stay in Boquete helping you organize and plan what to do during the weekends and after classes.

Several of our teachers have plenty of experience teaching children and young teenagers. Besides Spanish lessons, our teachers will play games with them that will also help them with their language skills, like bingo and monopoly. Kids can get bored inside a classroom so our teachers also take them to local gardens like El Explorador, Mi Jardín es tu Jardín and Paradise Garden. At an additional cost short excursions like horseback riding or fishing in the river can also be arranged. CHECKOUT PRICES FOR OUR SPANISH COURSE FOR CHILDREN & YOUNG TEENAGERS.

Intensive Spanish Courses

Our Intensive Spanish course is designed for individuals and small groups who desire an accelerated and intensive Spanish language course. If you are limited on your time available to study Spanish and are also highly motivated to advance as rapidly as possible in a short period of time we can offer you 2 options: you can take between 6 - 8 hours of private lessons per day, or you can join our Group 4 course and add 2 - 4 hours of private lessons per day.

If you really need to learn Spanish quickly we would also recommend you to live with a local family during your Spanish studies through our Latin Cultural & Spanish Immersion Program. CHECKOUT PRICES FOR OUR INTENSIVE SPANISH COURSE.

If you live in Boquete or David, and it is sometimes hard to leave your home, or office for any reason, we can send a teacher right to your door, perfectly prepared and equipped with all the tools to teach a class in exact same way we do at our school. If you are staying at a hotel and just love the place that you are staying at, we can also give you Spanish lessons right there. These classes can be private lessons or in groups with family and or friends. The organization of the groups will depend on the Spanish levels of the students involved.

A small fee will be added to our normal prices to compensate the cost involved in transportation & time invested to reach your destination. Please contact us for a free quote.

Course Fees for Personalized Spanish Courses

Depending on what you need, you will be taking your Personalized Course through private lessons or in a Mini Group, and thus prices are shown in these two categories. The only exception is if you are adding private lessons to a Group 4 course to either have a more intensive course or to cover a topic of your specific interest, e.g. Medical Spanish. In this case just add the price of the private lessons to the Group 4 price.

As a Personalized Spanish Courses can be very different in nature from one to another prices are listed as packages of hours. The packages are per person. If you have to purchase an amount of hours that does not appear on the table, you can calculate the cost by using the cost per hour of the package immediately before. The more hours you purchase, the better the price per hour. Prices are in US dollars.
