I've used a number of different language schools in many different countries and I can definately say that the level of education I receievd at the Simon Bolivar was superior to all the others. I got results fast that I could apply right away and were practical.

Good Teaching. Fantastic administration. Nice trips and after class events. I was sick some days but did not have to pay. Excellent service!

I studied with Simon Bolivar in Cuenca in December 2005. It was a very good experience. The teachers were great and very focussed. My family were wonderful to me. I liked everything about the program. The administrative people were very helpful. thank you.

I have really learned a lot, and also had a lot of fun while learning due to my excellent teacher.

I am so glad that I chose this school above the rest. Teachers and staff are so friendly, there are activities every evening and even weekend trips to the surrounding attractions. The teaching is second to none, I have found a true friend for life and have enjoyed my experience immensely…Thank you!

I had a very positive experience at the school. During my month I learned both practical and technical components of Spanish. My instructor was great both in his ability to teach me structure and his response to my specific questions.

I found Cuenca to be a beautiful, old city. The views and mountains and rivers are lovely. The people of Cuenca are friendly and open. There was much to see and do and I wish I had more time to spend in Cuenca. The Simon Bolívar School was excellent. The one on one classes were great. The homestay was wonderful and by the end of the week I could almost understand the conversations. My teacher was very helpful, patient and well organized. I am very pleased with my experience and I hope I can keep with my Spanish. Once again, I wish I had more time here.

Learning Spanish at Simon Bolívar was a great experience! As someone who had never taken any Spanish before, I find the teachers to be very helpful and nice. The social activities were a great way to interact with other students from all the world and practice Spanish as well. It was well worth the cost.

Estuvimos 2 semanas en la escuela de Cuenca. Estuvimos muy felices en la escuela, todo nos gustó…La profesora era muy simpática y enseñaba muy eficiente y profesionalmente! Hicimos excursiones y fiestas con las profesoras, era muy divertido! La escuela está en el centro de Cuenca y el edificio es muy antiguo y bonito! Estudiamos mucho en estas semanas! Gracias!

Mi tiempo en la Escuela de Simon Bolivar fue una de los mejores tiempos que yo tuve en Ecuador. Mi maestro estuvo muy amable y entonces me aprendi mucho Español en las dos semanas en que yo estudié. La gente que trabaja para Simon Bolivar me ayudó mucho y estan llenos de vida, y bondad. Gracias por todos yo nunca olvidare. Gracias por toda su ayuda y todo su conocimiento del mundo y Ecuador!!

Me gusta esta escuela mucho. Tengo un buen profesor. Cuenca es una ciudad muy interesante, hay muchas cosas que hacer. Puedes ir al museo Banco Central, puedes bailar todo la noches, puedes pensar cerca del rio y hablar con las personas que son interesantes aquí. La mejor cosa que hacer es comer cuy …Buena Suerte!

After studying at Simon Bolivar in Quito, I was tempted to try their school in Cuenca also. I went, and I don't regret going . It's an excellent opportunity to see beautiful Cuenca, and at the same time study Spanish in the heart of the city. Cuenca is a different city compared to others in Ecuador, a cultural and very charming city. Don't miss the salsa classes at the school in Cuenca, their teacher there is brilliant. And make sure, don't miss the salsa bars and the night life in Cuenca either!

All the staff and teachers at the school are really friendly. I've met lots of new friends. The individual lessons mean you can learn lots of Spanish fast!
Chris Rowe, Manchester. England.

The school has been wonderful and the teachers teach so well in and out of the classroom! The Spanish lessons are excellent, even after the first week you know you are learning. The extra activities such as cooking and dancing classes, as well as weekend trips are great to supplement the language with some cultural aspects as well. Outside the classroom the instructors are equally interested in getting to know the students, the whole experience is completely comfortable and something I will never forget.

Before starting my university course in England, I wanted to travel and use that opportunity to expand my knowledge of foreign languages. Simón Bolívar offered me both; excellent teaching and the ability to explore the country at weekends or on weeklong excursions. Teachers excel in basic to advanced instruction, using a wide range of varied and interesting material. As to study themes, classes are ratered  to the needs or wishes of the student in question, and tailored to his or her personality. I am certainly learning with some incredible memories.
