Quality Spanish Courses at
Competive Prices
Every now and again people call to ask us
why Olé offers Spanish courses for
comparatively little money. They wonder if
they will receive better teaching and learn
Spanish quicker if they decide for a bigger
and more expensive school. Assuming that
there are a many people out there who do not
call us we would like to give a brief
explanation in order to prevent
misunderstandings.
Olé delivers the same quality of teaching
than any of the larger, more expensive
Spanish schools:
When Rosa Ribas, co-founder and
headteacher, decided to team up with Javier
Sánchez to start Olé Languages in 2006 she
could count on many years of teaching
experience in big corporate schools. When
she began managing her own school, her aim
was to build a team of highly-qualified,
dedicated, and enthusiastic teachers who see
teaching Spanish as more than just a job
that pays the rent. The teachers who teach
at Olé Languages today pursue teaching as
their vocation and have made a conscious
decision to work in a smaller school were
the atmosphere is more personal and they
have more possibilities to interact with the
students. Another commonly held assumption
is that an inexpensive school cuts costs by
increasing the size of the study groups.
However, at Olé the contrary holds true:
With a maximum of eight people per class
the groups are smaller than in most other
schools.
The price difference originates elsewhere:
First, Olé Languages does not work with
language agencies that are paid up to 25% of
the course price but finds its students
directly, either through word of mouth or
via the Internet. And second, Olé Languages
manages with a small but efficient
administration instead of maintaining a
large administrative apparatus.
