"Excellent week improving my Spanish ."

Jayne Almond, student from UK

I did a week long intensive course at B1/2 level. The grammar teaching was excellent . The vocab lessons in groups good. The session of only 3 of us in the afternoon worked less well as we were all at different levels of knowledge. I think a private lesson in the afternoon maybe walking around Madrid with a teacher would have worked better for me.
I enjoyed meeting a widely different set of people and the teaching was good.

"Amazing Experience"

Sacha Courtial, student from France

I was in Eurêka School in Madrid for 3 weeks. Although it was quite a short period to learn a language, I made significant progress in Spanish. Firstly, the courses were given in a relaxed, familiar environment but seriously enough learn a lot of vocabulary and grammar. Above all, I have to mention the extraordinary flexibility of the school. All teachers are very responsive. You can extend you're staying as you like. I really recommend a summer "shot" of the Spanish language!

"I like the small class sizes and the overall setting of the classrooms, I also really like my teacher"

Rachel Donlon, student from Ireland

What I liked the most about the classes was the sort of comfortable almost informal conversational tone. I felt comfortable enough to ask questions and participate in the conversation which helped me to improve my Spanish. I also thought the pace that we went at; because it's an 3evening class and I work full time I appreciated the slower pace because I don't have a lot of time for independent study.

"¡Vale la pena! ¡Muchas gracias!"

KAI SEN XU, student from Taiwan

Thank you all, especially Mister Yaroslav. He was so helpful and replied all my questions about the course immediately. He was proactively offering abundant information about the language school. The brief and clear explanation was exactly what I needed. I definitely will recommend my friends who are interested in studying Spanish in Spain.

"Holistic"

Michael Nolan

It was a very good experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. They knew how to teach. When I asked a question ,I received a direct answer back. They were patient and encouraging. The location and facilities were great; close to the metro. I did not take part in the outside activities.

"Eureka put me on my first step to being a part of the Spanish community."

ahmed magdy mohamed

I liked Eureka School so much. The location of the school is in the heart of Madrid, and that's really great. I was living in the same building as the school, which made everything so easy for me. The room and the bathroom were so clean and so nice. I liked the classes so much, especially the conversation classes. I’m sure I will be back soon. :)

"The school had an individual approach to each student, had teachers with professionalism of teachers, an interesting learning process, and a rich extracurricular life."

Ekaterino

I spent 5 months in Eureka. During this time, I mastered the Spanish language to the level of proficiency (I had a crash course) thanks to a well-constructed system of education (the first 2 hours of grammar with a fixed teacher and remaining time - communication in Spanish with the change of teacher 2 times a week) and the professionalism of teachers who really put their hearts into their work. There was not one of them I did not like having lessons with. Also, the school regularly organizes events: guided tours (free and paid), joint dinners celebrating the holidays together with students and teachers, and others which created a very warm and comfortable learning atmosphere. In addition, Eureka is located in the most beautiful part of Madrid, and has a transport message.

I would like to say a special thanks to the school: its director Angel and Txiki, who treated me always with attention, did not leave any requests without an answer, and did not leave any questions without advice, which was important for a foreigner who did not know all the nuances of living in Spain. I also want to thank teachers Patricia, Eva, Javier Andres, Nadhu, Pilar, Juan Ramon and Carlos.

Gracias a vosotros hablo español!

"It was a wonderful week in a hospitable school, in a fantastic city full of bright experiences and new exciting acquaintances."

Irina Kuzmina

I only studied for a week, but it was very productive. I really liked the process of learning. Classes were divided in two parts - grammar and speaking practice - and every day we had a new teacher "to chat" with, though grammar was explained by one teacher who knew what we already saw and what we might have problems with. Teachers are very professional and friendly.

The accommodation was also very nice. They offered me a room in the same building where the school was, and it was very nice to spend a break in your room with a hot cup of tea.

I also liked the program of after class activities: walking tours in the city and a trip to El Escorial on weekends.

"Awesome learning experience to improve your Spanish skills and get to know the city of Madrid"

Maria Giulia Giuliani

I really liked the teaching method, which I haven't seen anywhere else. Basically, you get a fixed teacher for grammar and you get a rotation of professors for the conversation. I think this is a great method, not only because you get to know everybody in the school, but also because you hear different accents, way of talking, way of teaching, and it never gets boring.

The teachers themselves are all very passionate and are trying their best to improve your Spanish skills. They include every student and have a connection with the class. You can see they don't do it just because it's their job, but because they truly enjoy it.

The location is perfect, in the city center and close to many attractions and eateries.
The activities are all well-thought and very interesting for somebody who wants to get to know Madrid, its history, art, architecture and culture. I recommend every student to take part of it. The explanations are always very clear and interesting.

I didn't take part in the housing program, but during my stay I lived in two houses I found on Airbnb. They were all a walking distance from the school, which was a good thing.

Overall I loved the experience I would recommend for sure to study at Eureka if planning a stay in Madrid.

Everything is very professional, but at the same time fun and heartfelt.

"Useful and fun with dedicated staff"

Frank Burgess

I have been learning Spanish for a number of years and I rate this school highly. I love going there. Like many of their regulars, my repeat visits say it all. The staff are great, the classes never too big, and the location couldn't be more convenient. This time, I rented a flat. I'll do it again. There are many other extras such as guided tours in Spanish to El Prado Toledo and et., and daily an optional visit to a typical neighbourhood restaurant which is good value and involves more immersive Spanish chat at no extra charge. Madrid itself is a fantastic city and the locals speak a pure castellano. I'll be back.

"Each time I come back, it's better than the last time!"

Wendy Garringer

I am getting ready to return to Eureka for the fifth time in the last twelve years. This speaks volumes about the quality of the school. Each time, they've treated me like family. Why wouldn't I want to keep coming back? I've studied with them at the intermediate and advanced levels. All instruction has been superb. The language instructors are qualified and enthusiastic about the material. I highly recommend Eureka!

"Great experience where I've improved my Spanish and met a lot of great people"

Filipe Freire

I can only say what I've liked because I liked everything - there wasn't a thing that I did not like.

My classes were great, and so were my teachers. I had group classes and I also has personal classes. I've moved to higher level classes quickly as I was improving my Spanish language.

The location was also great. I loved studying near Puerta del Sol. Everything was close to me so I didn't need to get taxis or the metro very often.

About the housing - I thank Angel who had provided me, in a short time, an apartment only a few meters from the school.

"Great immersion and Spanish grammar program, with engaging professors and many other fun activities offered"

Krystal Drummond

The school setting was convenient and had a comfortable atmosphere. The teachers were all very friendly, personable, and very helpful. I appreciated that we had several different teachers each day for the different classes so that we could learn from different styles, and with different accents. The diversity of students in the classroom was good too, in that in many cases, Spanish was the only common language, so the students are further encouraged to use their Spanish language skills in order to communicate with one another. The after-school activities offered were a great bonus - the instructors would take students to local museums or other cultural sites and gave a special informative tour. The lodging facilities and the family for the home stay were wonderful.
