Description: Our location is only 3 blocks from the Plaza Foch, the new center of Quito. Our institution was founded in the year 1988 and we are consequently with more than 19 years of experience in our business the second-longest existing Language school in Quito.

Our courses are tailormade and completely prepared according to the wishes and needs of our students but still based on our special tutoring material. We use six classification levels.

We offer private lessons of 20, 25, 30 or 35 hours per week at all levels from total beginners to highly advanced students. As occasionally we have students who prefer to learn in small groups we also offer group courses of 25 or 30 hours/week with a maximums of three students. In case there are not enough students enrolled for a group course on a particular level we reduce the amount of lessons and students will have one-to-one tuition until there is another student at the same level.

The emphasis is on conversation, although our classes also include grammar, audio, writing and reading newspaper and magazine articles. For students with special needs we offer classes that emphasize for example the following: Spanish for business, Spanish for Cabin Crew, Spanish for teachers of Spanish, courses with emphasis on literature or courses with emphasis on up-to-date topics, Spanish for tourism.

At the end of the course all students receive a certificate of participation. We are authorized to provide our students with a language diploma which is accepted by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education if they pass a special exam.

Highlights: Why to learn Spanish in Quito and in the Spanish School Pichincha?

Ecuador! A small country with a great biodiversity allows you to experience, within only few hours, the beach, mountains or jungle. The friendly people make your journey an unforgettable experience.

Quito, the capital of Ecuador, is known as one of the best places to learn Spanish, because of the clear pronunciation. The Escuela Pichincha has been working with students since 1988. Due to many years of experience, we have been recognized as one of the best Spanish Schools in Quito.

The school is located about 5 walking minutes away from the park El Ejido and about 15 minutes from the colonial part of Quito. We have about 30 teachers, highly qualified and flexible. Normally they rotate each week. So the students have a significant variety of experience, although they may as well choose to have the same teacher for a longer period.

Our courses are individually designed for each student. Text/workbook, designed and published by our school, is free for students that book at least 6 weeks. If you book less you may buy the book for 12 USD. All the other materials provided by the school are free.

Our school includes a library, video room, garden and roof terrace as well as a cafeteria. Here students may buy various snacks, cookies, French fries, sandwiches and various drinks, as well as postcards, envelopes etc. We offer free coffee and tea!
