Show details » Read more...I absolutely loved the week of Spanish lessons. Katterina was a fantastic teacher, she was super helpful for myself coming from knowing pretty much no Spanish.
Show details » Read more...caring and personal teaching even though we were at different levels. Pichilemu has an active city life, beautiful nature and fantastic beaches. The school is also very active with good experiences during free time. Remember warm clothes because it is cold sometimes.
Show details » Read more...I definitely recommend Huara Spanishschool. I had one month of spanishclasses and I am very happy I picked this school. Katterina is an enthusiastic and creative teacher, and she was very good at making me feel like all of the classes was personally made for my needs and my level of Spanish.
Here you do not only learn Spanish, Katterina also shows you Pichilemu. We went to exhibitions, museums and foodmarkets, where she helped us practice what we learned in the classroom.
Thanks Ursula for your comment, I really enjoyed our month of classes, it has been great to meet you. Keep practicing and let me know if you have questions
Great localization
Katterina shows you Pichilemu and the chilean culture what is so nice.
I took the Traveler's Spanish Course and it has been invaluable. After one week, I feel so much more capable communicating in Spanish as I travel South America. Katterina is an excellent teacher and incredibly welcoming. I especially enjoyed our outing to the Cultural Center and the Museum. It was wonderful to learn about Pichilemu's history and community while practicing Spanish conversation.

Huara Spanish School is the perfect place to learn or improve your Spanish.
The lessons are structured and fun.
The teacher is such a warm and interesting woman, it's a treat to just be at her home property.
The option to continue lessons after your time in Pichilemu over Google Hangouts or Skype is a great bonus, as it allows the student to progress with the same program.
As a bonus, the school house, property, garden and everything about the place is so gorgeous you won't want to leave. She even drove us down to the surf school to get us a good deal on board rentals afterwards. So much effort and kindness.
Thanks Huara!
Muchas gracias Russelly and Ainsley, it was wonderful to meet you both and thanks for your words, I love what I do and my main goal is to provide a full and unique experience for those who wants to really learn Spanish and get involved in our culture, we will see each other soon during our online classes, gracias chicos!!
Right at the beginning, when Katterina picked us up at our hostel on the first day, she made a lovely impression (which should not change during the week :))
Our one-week "Travelers Course" for beginners was very entertaining and varied. The lesson was not limited to the classroom but we also took a day trip to several of the village's museums where we had already taken so much out of Katterina's class at the end of the week for the information she gave us in Spanish to follow well. On Friday evening, the week was completed perfectly with typical Chilean barbecue outside class time.
All in all, it was a nice week, after which we feel able to overcome the basic obstacles of traveling in Spanish-speaking countries.
Muchas gracias Mark and Nanja, it was a pleassure to be your teacher, I am so happy you enjoyed your experience studing with me, keep having fun and practicing, you are wonderful persons, hasta siempre amigos
Staying and studying at Huara Language school was a great experience both educationally and to be in a lovely space with an awesome family. Katta is a great teacher and a kind person whose hospitality I cannot speak highly enough of. The beginner lessons I did set up a great base for learning and have helped me speak with people throughout South America. The room was comfortable, plus learning and living in the same place is really nice. Pichilemu itself is a really cosy town and going around it with locals is obviously a great vibe. I wish I had longer than 1 week to stay there! The kindness of the family is easily felt during your stay and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing a language course. I would love to go back!

Show details » Read more...Ugo I would like to thank you for being with us for a month, we really enjoyed your stay and friendship, I am impressed with your Spanish progress and I am even more happy that being here had been a wonderful experience. You have a family here in Chile. Good luck in all your projects.
Huara Spanish School gives me the possibility to develop my ability of speaking foreign languages.
Katterina (the teacher) had a lot of patience with me, she let me speak instead of all sentences are fake.
The lesson is created only by her which is rarely used to and gives us all what we need.
I was a really catastrophic beginner who can’t say one sentence and after 2 weeks I was able to answer simple question which is incredible for me.
First of all, we feel in confiance with her and her wonderful family ! Thank you for all !
Je recommande cette de langue pour tous niveaux, étant au niveau le plus bas, Katterina m’a permis de gagner en confiance en moi et de me pousser à m’exprimer le plus possible ce qui est primordial dans la pratique d’une langue.
Elle peut aussi vous donner de nombreux conseils à propos de la culture chilienne et de ces activités !
Hi mi name is Emilie, I come from France, I’ve been traveling for 6months in latine America and I’ve decided to take Spanish classes to improve my Spanish in order to talk better with the local people during my trip.
I took 20hours of private courses with Katterina divided into 2 weeks, it means 2 hours per days except the weekend. It was a very good rythm to learn efficiently Spanish. I had no level when I started and after 20hours I reached level A2, it means that I can now introduce myself, order something in the restaurant, at the market (on the wednesdays we went to the Feria with Katterina in order to practise what we learned in class), I can talk about my day, activities and understand each other. Personally, my teacher helped me to learn the basics and to break the language barriers. The good atmosphere during the classes indoors and outdoors were also very enjoyable, lots of word games and laughs. Entounces muchas gracias Huara school !
I had a great time studying with an enthusiastic and experienced teacher. She took great care providing me with exactly the materials, vocabulary etc. I needed to enhance my language skills and always provided individual and personalized classes.
Meeting the teacher´s family, going to the market together and staying in the beautiful little town of Pichilemu made this a unique and authentic experience that helped me improve my Spanish and learn a lot about the local culture and customs.
The equipment of the school is basic but you have everything you need to have a good class.
I very much enjoy my language lessons, my teacher is great, the lessons are fun and engaging, and the location is convenient.
