Hola!
Our goal is to not only teach the language in an effective way but to make learning fun as well! Our classes are creative and dynamic - with varied activities and resources and very interactive.

Our language courses have a conversational focus although this isn´t at the expense of covering the grammar, which is taught in a very practical way.

At LOGOS, we offer individual classes (for people who want to learn at their own pace) and group courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced students. To give you personalized attention, classes have a maximum of 5 students, but the average is usually 2 or 3 students per class. Our courses allow students to attend class for as long as they wish with a minimum of one week. Classes start every Monday.

In our experience, we have found that our students look for a number of key characteristics in a language school:

  • Quality Teachers
  • Quality Courses
  • Great Location
  • Reliablity and trustworthiness, holding the sales-promise and providing clean and modern classrooms
  • Flexibility
  • FUN!

What will you find at Logos?

I liked very much to spend time with you all and the course of Spanish for Business was excellent. I think Logos is a really good school and hope it will continue like that. Also we laughed a lot during the breaks but also talked about important and interesting topics. I hope to come back soon.
