Course description

Denia is the perfect place to spend the summer, with its long sandy and rocky beaches. The friendly and safe atmosphere combined with the short distances between host families, the school, the leisure area and the beaches, provide youngsters with the ability to get around easily. The wide range of water and land-based activities available in our programme will make this linguistic trip an unforgettable experience.
Host Families
The accommodation is with carefully selected host families who not only treat the students as if they were their own children, but who have also had previous experience with foreign youngsters and who are very committed to practicing the language being learnt. The school regularly reviews how the children are being treated and the conditions in which they are staying, ensuring the most successful trip possible.
Activities
We offer an extensive range of activities to completely immerse the students in our traditions and the Spanish culture. These are always supervised by an experienced professional. See our Activities catalogue for more information.
Programme
20 lessons a week.
Maximum per class: 10 (Average 3-5)
Full-board accommodation with a host family in double room.
Transfer from Alicante or Valencia (Between 9:00am and 10:00pm)*.
One excursion a week.
Daily sport and leisure activities.
TLC Dénia monitor.
24 h Emergency contact number.
Levels and Methodology
The Spanish summer school runs during the months of July and August, offering re-enforcement and revision classes at several levels.
At TLC Dénia we work with students at a one to one level, adjusting the classes to the individual needs of each child, be it exam preparation or help with studies to improve grades at school. Groups are therefore kept small in order to allow our competent teaching staff to facilitate this.
Children are able to learn anything and we want them to feel comfortable whilst doing it. Whether extroverted or introverted all of our students benefit from each and every class. By incorporating all four of the language skills (reading, listening, speaking, and writing) into the class we allow for each student to receive a well-rounded education.

"It was a great learning experience on the TLC Denia"

Diane Diebels, student from Netherlands

I did level 1 with teacher Paula for 4 weeks and it was a great learning experience.

It was never boring, Paula kept us sharp and had a lot of energy and humor.

I liked that the group was small and there was really enough personal attention for everyone.

I really learned a lot from Paula and now I can also speak a little Spanish.

I will come back in November to start level 2

"Nice and fun expierience overall and I met a lot of new people."

Nelio Ugarte Balles, student from Germany

Everything was good in general but i have to say for me at least we had to drive a lot as I didn't stay at a stay at home family so I was very far away from the school which wasn't fortunate in my case. Another thing that bothered me was the break, it was too short to buy a snack and eat it so we all ate in class. I very liked the way the learning was presented and the after school activities were nice as well.

He Nelio, you booked a Day-Camp programme (intensive course + daily activities for teens) but we did not book accommodation with us. Our homestays are closed to the school so teens can go around easily and parents feel more secure and we always do promotion of our short distances.

Our school location is in the center of Denia closed to shops, buses and even just 15-20 minutes’ walk from the beach but the rating says it is not a good location.
Regarding the quality of teaching, the comment says he is happy with the learning way but in the rating you added 3 starts. Please, let us know if there were something we could have improved on his lessons.

Thank you very much for understanding, for us it is very important to show transparent information to clients!

"Interesting, novel and fun."

Thomas Mcfarlane, student from UK

Everyone was friendly and very helpful - this included the teachers and administrative staff. Location was good. Downside was mask wearing. Made it difficult to hear and to see the teachers and other students properly. Face shields probably more suitable for learning. Classes tended to start a little late as did the tree turn from breaks but always finished at designated time.

"BEST SCHOOL EVER!!!!"

Cathy Nollet, student from Belgium

First of all I would like to thank the school for the great experience. For me everything was much more then I expected.

The school is very nice, everybody so helpful and kind! The teachers were great. I took 2 week Spanish and i was surprised how much I learned. I can't wait to come back for the 3rd week in September ... The method of teaching is very good and the small classes are for sure a plus. The activities after school were looking very nice, but because I started a company in Spain i could not participate..needed to work after school...hopefully next time.
Big big thanks for the whole team !!!

Greetings from Cathy from Belgium

"TLCdénia is fantastic!"

Denise Wirth, student from Spain

We have been impressed with TLCdénia from day 1. The classes are well-organized, they move along at a good pace, and also contain revision and plenty of speaking practice. Our teacher, Jesús, is very good. He communicates grammar and context very effectively while using only Spanish 99% of the time, and his knowledge of grammar is deep. The location is convenient and the school is nice and modern, with comfortable classrooms and resources. We liked the first week so much that we signed up for an additional 4 weeks!

Fun and enthusiastic teachers, varied range of learning materials, pleasant environment classrooms. By many different nationalities of the fellow students also interesting information about current affairs in the different European countries. Moreover, because of this also 'language of instruction' in the classroom: Spanish. I have experienced as very pleasant.

"I learned subjunctive and to listen spanish."

Heli Poutiainen, student from Finland

The classes were quite demanding for me because my communicative skills were not good as my grammar skills. The nivel test didn't give an actual presentation of my skills in this accord.
The teacher was competent but liked to talk bit too much.
The location of the school was perfect.
The facilities were neat but narrow. And there were not enough toilets.
I didn't take part to any activities because they were few and not very interesting.

Despite of all my complaints, I liked my staying at TLCdenia language school and I learned a lot.

"Pleasant environment for intensive study and inspiring teacher"

Eveline Roelofsen, student from Netherlands

The one sentence expresses my experience enough, though the coffee was terrible and only one toilet to be used by every one is by far not sufficient and gives too little privacy.

"A pleasent way to improvice my Spanish language."

Christian Lubbinge, student from Netherlands

I liked the attention of the teachers. They we're really interested and had patience. The classes were small (4-5 students), which made it easier to actively participate. Because of the season (ather summer) i think the activities were not that crowded but okay.

One thing which could be improved is the lesson material. A lof of photo-copies could be exchanged by a (little) book together with a bloknote to make notes.

"Denia is amazing!"

Beatriz Gomes Coelho

I had the opportunity to study at TLCdénia twice to learn Spanish and English. The whole team is very professional and friendly, teachers are dynamic and provide you all the tools to accomplish your goals. In my case, I passed a C2 DELE ( Spanish ) and B2, First Certificate in English.
All this without panic or stress because I had been well prepared throughout the classes and informed by TLC as the team worked on the exams, apart from having personal attention because I also wanted private lessons. TLCdénia offers incredible value for money as well as provides activities for us to enjoy all the good that this charming town of Dénia can offer. I encourage everyone to explore and discover at TLC Dénia. I'll take this opportunity here to leave a big hug for the whole TLC team.
Great school, great team! Learning, professionalism, knowledge and joy was what I found in this school, where with the help of all the professionals who work there I could reach my goals. 100% recommended!
