School description

At Instituto Jovel, we have been teaching Spanish to students from all over the world since 1993.
We offer one-on-one Spanish instruction and group instruction. Our Spanish classes are set up to accommodate individual learning styles, personal interests, and preferences. All of our teachers are specially trained second language teachers, all Mexicans, but they all also speak fluent English, necessary sometimes to explain some concepts. Some of our students would like to learn “Survival Spanish” for their travels, other would like to study the language in all its complexities, others need their Spanish as bilingual teachers, physicians or other professions.
