Reasons to choose the Mester Spanish courses

Mester gives its international students the opportunity to feel, enjoy and be an active part of the unique way of life which is so different from their own: the Spanish way of life. Founded 1991, the academy is based in the historic city of Salamanca.

In Mester, education doesn’t finish in class. We assure that each one of the activities we organise offers our students the opportunity to see a different aspect of Spanish life. On the visits to the historic monuments, on the weekend excursions to different cities, in the salsa or guitar classes and on the tapas tours through the city, our objective is always the same: to not only educate the students but to give them a true Spanish experience too.

Committed to an unforgettable experience

Mester provides help before, after and during its study programmes. Our assesors will orientate you so that you can find the most adecuate programme for your needs and objectives (academic, professional or personal).

During your stay we promise to give all of our support and orientation. Furthermore, our team will accompany you on all the socio-cultural activties we organise.

We are young, dynamic and motivated. Our wide and solid experience makes us experts in the teaching of Spanish. The valuation and the comments of our students help us to effectively resolve any unforseen circumstance, something which improves the quality of our courses every day.

The majority of the students who study with us do so by recommendation from their Spanish teacher or from old Mester students. We give our all to each and every one of the more than five thousand students who come to us every year; their enthusiasm and satisfaction is the best reflection of our schools.
