"Beautiful Ronda makes the difference"
Gabrielle Wijdeveld,
student from Netherlands
School is located near the centre of the city. It has clean classrooms with simple but fine furnishings. About classes: Unfortunately the school did not test my level in advance, neither did the teacher in class. In April, there were no regular classes so they offered me private lessons. First day in class, I got (standard) tourist information of Ronda, YouTube-videos and assignments at level A1-2. A bit of a disappoitment. After I indicated that I found the lessons too easy and not very challenging in terms of content, I got assignments at level B1, still not a huge challenge.
I have taken Spanish lessons in Spain before. At other schools I got teaching materials at my own level (B1-B2). In Ronda we did no cover any theory. I realise: in April the season has yet to begin.

Dear Gabrielle,
First of all, we thank you for your review from the academy. Everything you mentioned was discussed and explained with you during the lessons, and immediate measures were taken to improve your experience. Furthermore, after asking me to improve the academic level, I asked you at the end of each lesson if you were satisfied, and the response was always positive. Even when we said goodbye, you seemed happy and everything was clear. For our part, we would also like to point out that your complaints were made in an inappropriate tone, showing impolite disregard for the material that was painstakingly prepared before class, to the point that you had to apologize for your tone, something we welcomed at the time. Therefore, for the dignity of the teachers and the academy, it is essential that this also be reflected here. Often, everything is demanded too easily but without showing humanity or empathy, and in the end, the treatment must always be respectful and cordial.
Best regards.
