Description: Excel offers its students an exciting and highly effective alternative to most other Spanish courses.

All of our classes utilize an approach to language acquisition called the Natural Approach.

The Natural approach focuses on the development of proficiency in the four basic communication skills: speaking listening , reading and writing. And because proficiency is obtained through the four basic skills we do not separate our courses into "conversation" and "grammar" components.

In the Natural Approach the ability to express yourself in a particular situation is stressed and all of the activities in the program are carefully selected to help you understand Spanish better. Learning grammar, although still an important component, is considered secondary to the development of oral communication skills.

Because we believe that each student has his or her own unique strengths, the structure of our courses is flexible. Most courses will use a textbook that serves as a guide and study reference for students, however, we actively encourage our teachers to augment the course through the use of additional books and periodicals and through the preparation of additional materials.

Class Study Options:
Excel offers two basic study options to its students: small group classes and one-on-one tutoring. Small group classes generally contain between two and four students with approximately the same level of Spanish knowledge. Completing exercises with other students helps each student develop his or her conversational skills more rapidly and is usually a lot of fun too. Small group classes are particularly suitable and advised for beginner and intermediate students of the language.

One to one study is more suitable for advanced and professional students who have more specific requirements. All Intensive Conversation and Professional Spanish courses are handled in this way.

Excel will provide any student at any level with his or her own private tutor if specifically requested.
