The Instituto Superior de Español (ISE) is recognized by former students and competitors as a leading Spanish school in Ecuador, with a long and sustained history of excellence. With our flexible programs, you can combine any of our locations, giving you the opportunity to experience Ecuador to the fullest! Our flexible programs offer you the chance to study a minimum of 4 hours per day, in the morning or in the afternoon. With the exception of our Traveling Classroom Programs, the Instituto Superior de Español offers five different types of classes, Individual, SemiPrivate, Group, Combined, and Specialized. We arrange classes to fit the needs of our students. Individual Lessons - One to One Spanish Programs: These Private Spanish Lessons are a great way to make real progress in a short amount of time! This style of learning allows the student to benefit from 100% teacher focus and enables the teacher to develop a course of study that is perfectly tailored to the student 's individual needs. The Instituto Superior de Español (ISE) recommends individual lessons for beginners in order to facilitate the learning process and speed for the student. Our teachers are committed to the students; therefore, if a student needs more time in one area, more time will be spent before moving on. Group Spanish Lessons: Group lessons are a fun way for students to learn from the teacher and the other students. Groups consist of two to six students, who are at similar levels of Spanish. This gives the students of the group the opportunity to support each other in class and outside of class. Studying in a group is a great way to get to know other students and a wonderful way to learn Spanish! Combined Spanish Lessons: A perfect combination program with 4 hours of Group Classes and 2 hours of Individual teaching. While group classes will concentrate on vocabulary, grammar exercises, conversations, reading, etc. Students will develop their level of Spanish, with grammar being one of the most important elements of their program. Individual teaching will focus on the weaknesses of each student, concentrating on the conversation, grammar exercises, or reinforcing grammar or vocabulary skills for students who require more support in these areas. Full-time lessons: This is also a combination Spanish course for those who decide to embark on an intensive Spanish program. When students think about full-time or intensive Spanish courses, most of our students decide on having 6 or 7 hours of individual teaching because this allows them to speak Spanish all the time, but when students wish to participate in group classes and also have their private lessons to develop everything they learn in the morning, they decide on a full-time Spanish course with 4 hours of group classes in the morning and 3 hours of individual teaching in the afternoon. Specialized Spanish Programs: Because of the professional high quality of our teachers, we have developed some specialized Spanish courses according to the Student's needs, interests and career. You can study Medical Spanish, Business Spanish, Legal Spanish or DELE Exam preparation. We also offer programs for University Groups. Instituto Superior de Español Teachers: Because of our very well 30 years of experience teaching the Spanish language to foreigners, the Instituto Superior de Español knows that only professional teachers with university degrees are able to teach qualified Spanish classes. Only a university degree guarantees that someone may be a good teacher to teach Spanish to foreigners. We are the only school in which every teacher owns University degrees of Latin American Literature and Linguistics. All of them are well experienced and most already give lessons for years. Contract young people without a university degree to teach Spanish and pay them for each hour of instruction is cheap but in the law of Ecuador is illegal. In the law of Ecuador, teachers have to receive 15 full salaries per year, social security paid for each month and paid vacations. The Instituto Superior de Español is the only Spanish school in Ecuador which has 100% of teachers with a university degree (all of them have studied to be teachers) and the only Spanish school in Ecuador which pays professional and complete salaries to all of our appointees. Moreover, our teachers are all native Ecuadorians, which enables students to have a deeper contact with the Ecuadorian culture, history, and lifestyle. The teachers may help better with solving problems if a student has got problems with his/her host family because of cultural differences.

Our excellent testing program allows placement of students in classes at their exact level, and weekly evaluations make it possible to continue to move students through their weekly classes in such a way that they are continually challenged, but not frustrated by being slightly ahead or slightly behind their classmates. The number of participants in any class is never over five and is frequently smaller. Students move in and out of classes on a weekly basis depending on their ability and their motivation for outside study.
