About us

We are travellers that found a home here, in this place called Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limon, Costa Rica. We decided to start a family here and give our children a wonderful natural place to live.

In our own countries we are Spanish teachers and for that reason we decided to create an alternative Spanish school with a beach style, whilst maintaining our professional ethics and educational philosophies.

Our methodology is innovative in that you do not have to adapt to us the teachers (as in more traditional language schools): We adapt to you. To do this, we determine your interests and so, the learning path is natural because you engage more with what is addressed in classes. This is more efficient than experiencing it as just a class where you have to learn something. We also put great emphasis on conversation, whilst paying attention to the grammar naturally! Our goal is that our students can communicate well verbally. The results we have had with our method have been excellent.

The teachers:
