Elebaires

Language school

😠 I paid for half of the training (I couldn't start it due to work issues), they never gave me a receipt/invoice. I asked if I could sign up a family member to see if they could take advantage of the training by paying the remaining half and they never answered. Very little serious People often mention Elebaires, school, Spanish, great, experience, teachers, recommend, teacher, students, teaching,

    I am a teacher with many years of experience teaching a subject and I took the course they teach to be an online Spanish teacher. I was surprised by the good level of the course and the professionalism of the tutors. It was an enriching experience from which I undoubtedly learned a lot. Thank you so much!!!!. Greetings.

    Excellent. Highly recommended, the teachers are super professional and dedicated to each of their students. In my case I took the ELE teacher course, which is very complete and provides many tools. I just received the certificate, which didn't take long and I'm happy! In short, if you want to train as a Spanish teacher or learn the language, it is undoubtedly the best place to do so.

    My boyfriend and I had an absolutely amazing experience studying three weeks at Elebaires! Everything, from the environment to the team to the community of students, was simply excellent. We were studying at different levels and we were both extremely satisfied with the teaching, the materials, and how our Spanish progressed during our studies. We were also so impressed by how caring and attentive all of the team working in the school were. Finally, they organize great (free) activities almost every day of the week and this was a great way to get to know new people and practice our Spanish even more. Thank you so much, Elebaires! I hope we’ll be back soon!

    I loved the experience of the Initial Training to be a Spanish Teacher. I learned how I can organize classes according to a specific communicative objective and guide the grammar based on that. I also discovered how to create class materials. The sessions with the tutor were very enriching. The tutor was very sweet and kind to accompany us on this path. And it was great to have the experience of teaching real group classes. I totally recommend the training and the institution.

    I completed my TEFL Certification with Maria Laura at Elebaires. Laura was an incredible support throughout the entire process and extremely knowledgable of the content. The course content was well rounded and I really enjoyed the students that Elebaires assembled for my Teaching Practicum. I grew as a Teacher in terms of my understanding of Teaching Philosophies and various methodologies. I was fully prepared and felt confident walking into my first TEFL job upon completion of the course. In addition, Maria Laura has proved to be an invaluable resource for me as I continue to evolve and grow in the TEFL field. I highly recommend the program and Laura. You won't be disappointed!

    UPDATE: After writing more than 3 times for more than 2 months and not receiving a response, upon seeing my comment on Google Maps, Selina wrote me a message (yes with an S) responding to the last email sent 10 days ago. Waiting for a response from the new email. The administration woke up. Inés P. Rado! 🙃 ---- My experience was very bad. In the ELE Teacher course, all the time it was "put on the camera" high school style. The educational quality is dubious, the texts are not suitable for a course for people who do not come from linguistics, which means that basically by bragging about "high academia" they leave people pedaling in the air. Indeed, classmates raised this with the teacher and the response was "you don't read." If you work on something else, they will ask you to "leave aside your obligations" or "you didn't commit enough to the teacher." Yes, with the teacher. There is no such thing. Zero pedagogy. One student even suggested that the "internship students" were actors, because they were the same at all levels. Strong. The administration does not give answers, not serious. P.S. If you like, send a will below, but they have not responded to the email sent to the administration a week ago.

    We arrived in Buenos Aires without having planned much regarding language schools, but wrote to Elebaires even on a Sunday and received a very quick reply back that we could join for classes on the next day. The atmosphere in the school was great, the teachers were really good and overall the experience was great. I definitely recommend Elebaires!

    Amazing school in a beautiful building! I really enjoyed the way Elebaires teaches Spanish; they encourage you to speak as much as possible. The teachers are very kind and the school offers wonderful social events such as a real Argentinian asado. I would highly recommend to learn Spanish at this school in the amazing Buenos Aires!!

    I completed both a TEFL course and two weeks of Spanish at Elebaires and I absolutely loved it. I cannot recommend the school enough. All the teachers and staff are so friendly and helpful and it feels like one big family. I really enjoyed all the extra activities they provided such as the lunches and trips. Definitely one of the best schools in Buenos Aires!

    Amazing school. Really enjoyed my 4 week stay in Argentina thanks to the staff and fellow students at the school. My classes were interesting and allowed me to greatly improve my Spanish in a short period of time. The school runs many activities (museum visits, cycling and walking tours of Buenos Aires amongst others) allowing you to discover the city with your classmates. The staff are extremely kind and willing to help you with any aspect of your stay. I felt very welcome and would highly recommend this Spanish school for a great experience in Buenos Aires.

    Seemed like a nice school and I wanted to take classes there, but there was a bit of misunderstanding where I wanted to sign up for a trial class, but was scheduled for an info meeting instead. I think it's a minor issue that could have been easily sorted out, so I wrote an email to Elebaires but never got a reply. A month later Elebaires says that it was my fault for not submitting the correct form.

    It was an incredibly great experience to be accepted into this language school. They put their heart and soul into the well-being of their language students. With meals, an afternoon program and a variety of themed events. Even after a medical emergency, the manager took great care of my well-being. All in all, you can learn Spanish effectively at this language school and immerse yourself in Argentine culture.

    Just finished my 8 week course at Elebaires language school, oh better said: just finished the best 8 weeks of my life. It was my first time outside of Europe and the first time of my life traveling alone. At first I was a little bit scared, but as soon as I arrived in Buenos Aires the staff of Elebaires helped me so much with everything. It felt like my second home and I wanna thank them for that. Also a big thanks to all the teachers for teaching me Spanish and making me enthusiastic about the language every time again (and yeah, that's a big deal especially in the mornings). At the moment I am ready to continue my travel. Gracias a todos!

    Arriving into any big city can be an incredibly daunting experience- even for native speakers. I heard about Elebaires from the hostel that I was staying at and it was a fantastic choice. I had never experienced such small classes nor such great teachers. I quickly found out that the mantra at Elebaires is ´serious work, done in a fun way´. That is to say that the lessons are not painfully dull, there is lots of conversation and grammar but it is always done in a way that is practical and involves real life experiences. Elebaires know that learning a language is not just about text books and grammar, its about getting exposure and being in situations where you can learn quickly and use new vocab on a daily basis. This is proven by the fact that they offer activities almost daily – bicycle tours, wine tasting, cinema, art museums – the list is endless. The other way that Elebaires stood out for me was their careful selection of the accommodation for students. From home stay, to apartment sharing with natives to hostels and hotels, everything and everyone was looked after. The apartment that Elebaires found me was with some lovely Argentines and this really helped my Spanish to improve. All of the other students agreed that Elebaires had done a great job to ensure that every student was happy, not just at school but also out of school. It is this holistic approach that sets Elebaires apart. Its not just about the teaching. They have lots of group activities; they are just a small family that will help you do anything, from partying to buying a bus ticket or helping out with booking a trip anywhere. The four week course was fantastic and my Spanish improved exponentially! Ill be back……

    Wow, what a school. I have had a fantastic experience at Elebaires. i have been here for three months, my Spanish has come on leaps and bounds and I have enjoyed every minute of it! The teachers are brilliant, incredibly patient and the lessons are always engaging and fun. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the after lesson activities are a fantastic way to practice Spanish and get to know the city. i would recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn or improve Spanish. What a fun time I have had and such great people I have met!

👍👍 CASA Spanish Academy is a great school. I spent 3 months here and loved it.

The classes were a good mix of oral and grammar. My teacher Cecilia was...
