The school forms small groups of no more than three students according to the convenience and the level of the participants, but also according to the needs of the school. Most
classes are one-on-one; classes in groups are usually reserved for beginners with very little knowledge or no knowledge of the language.
Teachers advance at the rhythm of the students, they participate, correcting the students, also but let them take an active part in their first short conversations, in the exercises, in the sometimes stammering discussions. As the days go by differences between students grow. Some learn more quickly, or are more interested in grammar or in conversation. Some may need to repeat several times while others get bored repeating. Now it's time to split up the group and begin personalized classes that respond more specifically to the needs and interests of each student.
Sometimes, after many sessions of personalized classes, and when the student has reached an advanced level, small groups are formed with topics of common interest, such as grammar, literature, history, society or economy. These can be discussions or intensive practice of the language. Classes can be started any day of the week. Most students begin
with individual classes, which means one teacher - one student. Students with little to no knowledge of the language are placed with teachers which speak their language or a language they both know. After a week, students will be
taught by teachers who know several languages and by only spanish speaking teachers. After reaching a basic knowledge of the spanish language, subjects of special interest for the student can be integrated in the classes together with the basic material of the school.
We don't know if our program is better than others - we are not interested in comparisons - but it is our desire to be better. We are dedicated to offering a quality service, with a method which adapts to the interests, needs and expectations of each student, and with material which is revised and updated frequently. We have no one definite text. We think that time and experience enrichen
our material, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Our experience changing teacher/student parings almost every day has shown very good results. Teachers bring different experiences and each one develops his or her own method of teaching, develops his or her own way of explaining grammar or other subjects. Without a doubt, no person is the same, for everybody, everyday. There are simpathies and antipathies. Some simpathies end up in friendship.
Welcome to our school Runawasi, the house of the people or the house of encounter.
