    Spanish school in an amazing place
    It was an amazing experience with an amazing teacher in an amazing city. Before going to Quito I did not know much about Ecuador or Quito, but I soon fell in love with it. The school and Quito always felt very safe and happy despite what the news may say. The school is full of wonderful energy and helped me start to accomplish something I long felt impossible. To learn a new language. I hope many more people get the experience to visit this wonderful place.

    Educational and fun experience!
    I studied at the school for several weeks and had an excellent experience. My highlight was being surprised with a great cake on my birthday!, but in addition:
    - punctual, friendly and organised teachers with relevant learning material
    - clean and quiet rooms for studying
    - the opportunity to meet other students during the mid-morning pause, as well as enjoy refreshments such as coffee and snacks.
    Overall I have made substantial progress during my time studying at the school.

    Fantastic trip in Ecuador
    I’ve just finished 3 weeks with this school. A week in Quito,week in Otolavo and a week with the travelling classroom. It was superb from start to finish. Eugenio picked us up from the airport and took us to our homestay. We were taken to the school on the first morning by our host so we knew the way. After lessons there were cultural visits in the afternoon. All the staff at the school were helpful and engaging giving me lots of time to practice my Spanish. Eugenio took us to the bus station at the end of the week to go to Otavalo which was about 2 hours away where we were met by our next host. We had afternoons free to explore the local area with help from Bebina our host. She took us to the station at the end of the week to get back to Quito to start our travelling classroom Adriana had been our teacher and she was again for this part so we had great consistency. This part was a fantastic blend of teaching, conversation and cultural learning. It’s a full on week, each place different from the last one. We traveled on buses with the locals for a full immersion. The accommodation was excellent and we ate in local restaurants. The week finished with a walk in Papallacta Wood and then a relaxing dip in the thermal spa. A fantastic finish to a fantastic trip. If you are thinking about this trip but worried about safety , don’t be. Quito is the same as any other large city but people are friendly and obliging. The locals were warm and welcoming in the other towns Eugenio and his team run an exceptional school with professional teaching. I wouldn’t hesitate to to recommend this school/trip and having found out from Eugenio on the way to our hotel for the final night that he also has a school in Colombia guess where I’ll be going to learn Spanish next!

    Great school
    The course was intense, and I feel I learned a lot. I had the opportunity to participate in several excursions, and they were very well-planned and fun. The teachers and the staff is dedicated to offering the highest level possible of teaching and to ensuring that we have the best time possible in Quito.

    A great place to learn Spanish
    First off, Aiola and ISE are the same school, and students are in the same classes. In my first week two of us were Ailola, and the second two students were ISE, it's all the same.

    Eugenio and the staff are the absolute best! I did group classes for two weeks and a homestay in the student home run by Valeria. The house is a mix of local university students as well as international students studying Spanish. It was a great experience.

    Not only are the lessons great, but the activities and trips throughout the week are also a lot of fun. Quito is a really cool city with plenty to do, and the day trips in and out of the city make the whole experience even better.

    This school is set up very well. It's a great place to learn Spanish, and about Ecuadorian culture.

    They also have a great travel network if you'd like to see it do anything while you're in Ecuador.

    A MUST DO IT IN QUITO
    A MUST DO in Quito! Whether you’re looking for lessons or just to experience Quito and the surrounding Andes to their fullest, this is the way to go.
    I’ve done other language schools in other Spanish speaking countries, but Ailola Quito has been by far the best in terms of lessons and experiences offered.
    Professional, friendly and welcoming for any level, good people, and high quality lessons.

    Excellent Spanish Language Training and Cultural Experience
    Ailola Quito/instituto Superior de Espanol is a great choice to improve your Spanish and learn about Ecuadoran culture. I took three weeks of group and private lessons in December 2021. All of my coursework was conducted in Spanish and the instructors focused on conversation, grammar, and reading comprehension. In addition to studying in a classroom, my private lessons included local cultural tours of the historic center of Quito. I stayed with a local Ecuadoran family which was arranged by the school. This enhanced my experience because it allowed me to speak Spanish at home with the family while having authentic Ecuadoran cuisine. If you are considering studying Spanish, I would recommend that you contact the school director Eugenio. He and his staff will ensure that you have an excellent experience while in Ecuador.

    Great experience at ISE Instituto de Español.
    The learning was tailored specifically to our level and the improvement we both experienced was remarkable! The assistance and dedication by the staff was amazing, from the airport pick up to the farewells. We expected that the experience would be simply the learning, but the staff quickly felt like family, as did the other students.

    The organising of optional after-school excursions allowed us to do so much more, very easily and economically. Getting to know the other students enabled us to receive and share travel advice and their encouragement was invaluable.

    We opted to stay in the homestay which felt immediately like home. It was very comfortable and within easy walking distance of the school. Having the opportunity to get to know our beautiful host along with the other homestay students was perfect. Even the neighbourhood shopkeepers felt like our community at home!

    Highly recommend - our first foray into immersive international language school did not disappoint in any way

    Best way to start our Honeymoon. In only one week we learned so much!
    My husband and I choose to have our honeymoon in Ecuador! We are lucky enough to have a whole month in this beautiful country. But, when we got here we realized how abysmal our Spanish was. So, we decided to stay a few extra days in Quito and signed up for a week of Spanish classes! We are so happy we did. We really got a good base that has helped us immensely during our trip.

    Our instructor Adriana was so good. She is hilarious and patient, a winning combination. We had so much fun in her class, something that is a rare thing to say about any schooling experience.

    In addition to the classes, Eugenio drove us one afternoon to Papallacta and took us on a gorgeous hike followed by the most beautiful hot spring. This excursion would have been a fortune through a tour operator and we might not have even thought of doing it. It has been on of the highlights of our trip.

    The school was so helpful with everything. They helped us get our SIM cards when we arrived and answers any questions we had about how to get to places or what to do when we weren’t in the classroom. Everyone made us feel super comfortable.

    ¡Muchas gracias Adriana, nos enseñaste mucho y nos divertimos mucho!
