Lawton Idiomas is centrally located in the prosperous area of Plaza San Miguel, close to shops, banks and bars and 2 minutes walk from San Lorenzo Beach. Situated between the mountains and the sea, Gijón is the largest city in Asturias. It is lively, dynamic and safe with an extensive range of activities all year round. Nightlife is centered in the old quarter, where the pubs, cafeterias and wine bars around the Marina and surrounding streets form the “Wine Route”, busy day and night. Restaurants and cider houses offering “tapas” and top quality cuisine can be found all over the city. There is an extremely strong 'café culture' in Gijón. People love to go for a coffee with friends, families and business colleagues. You will find cafés and bars on every street. Hire a bike and explore the many cycling tracks in the surrounding countryside. Play golf on one of the excellent golf courses near the city. Join the surfers on San Lorenzo beach or play tennis or padel at one of the several sports clubs. An hour away, in the Picos de Europa, you can go mountain walking, canoeing, hang-gliding or climbing and skiing in the winter in some of the most spectacular scenery in Spain.
My time at Lawton School in Gijón was really enjoyable and a great boost for my Spanish skills. Because of doing an Erasmus year in Spain, I needed to improve my Spanish, therefore I took an intensive Spanish course for 4 weeks, 1 1/2 Hours a day. Because nobody else signed up for the same course, the school arranged private lessons for me. Hence the learning experience was really personal and my teacher could of course hand-tailor the lessons to my language level. All in all we revised grammar, read texts, watched videos in Spanish, played games, had fun discussions, improved my conversation skills and every now and then we would go for a coffee. My teacher was super nice, really competent and helped me not only to improve my language skill, but also taught me fun facts and costums of Gijón, Asturias and Spain. The school itself was located very conveniently in the centre of the city and the room my lessons were taking place in was also bright and had a nice atmosphere.
I really can recommend the school, all staff I ever met there were extremely friendly and helpful and my Spanish improved a lot by the time I finished the course :D.
i was in a class with one other person and I found that interaction beneficial and better for me that a one on one class. The school is well located, the classrooms are comfortable. The staff at Lawton were very welcoming and helpful. The teacher we had was very professional, made the classes interesting and covered some of the cultural and historical aspects of Asturias which I found fascinating. All in all a very positive experience
