Jaguares: 12 - 13 years old

This course is designed for teenagers in their first years of high school.  

The lessons are designed with attractive material and activities for this age group. For example if we are learning daily activities, they would have to film a day in their lives, doing things like skating to school, having dinner, hanging out with friends, doing homework, etc. They would have to add text to the video in Spanish, and if they know any Spanish speakers or other students, do a little interview. 

We are proud of our culture and we show that in our lessons, we pay special attention to cultural aspects and spanish way of life. 
We can also prepare students to pass their exams. We will together with the student check the exam contents and prepare specific activities and exercises focused on achieving this purpose. We can offer extra support in English during the lessons if necessary. We will the student´s hobbies, and interests and build the lessons around that. To gain motivation, we will use the latest technology and / or social media.
