1. Peruwayna Spanish School

I studied at Peruwayna for around two months the end of 2017, taking 20h/week of private classes with Gladys through the B2 level. Even two years later I don't have enough good things to say about my time there. I came to Lima in part specifically to attend this school based on all the good reviews I had seen here, and it lived up to my expectations. Gladys was an excellent teacher, patient, supportive, and always helpful, and my Spanish improved a lot. Besides the instruction, the school was a great environment. It's a great size (small enough to know everybody, large enough to not be empty and to have various levels operating). The staff are all really friendly both with the students and each other. They also do a great job with icebreakers and activities and other things to help students from different classes get to know each other better. The homestay was fantastic as well, I loved the family I stayed with and I have a lot of unforgettable memories and experiences from my time. Lima's a great city to study Spanish: it's cheap (at least compared to the US) and packed with delicious food. Really I don't have anything bad to say about my time. I've studied at a few different language schools in Latin America by now and it's hard to appreciate how well run Peruwayna is until you go someplace else. ¡Espero que nos veamos pronto!

It is impossible to overstate the quality of education I have received at Viva Idiomas. The instructors are so knowledgeable and passionate about their craft, but they are also wonderful humans who make learning a new language fun and rewarding. Bertha and her team have been incredibly accommodating with my learning style as well as my irregular schedule. Add to that, the pace and structure of the classes has really challenged me and helped me to advance my Spanish much more than I expected. I am so grateful for the whole crew at Viva Idiomas. Their care, knowledge and friendship have been an unforgettable part of my time here in Peru.
