Buenos Aires Centre:

The founder of Buenos Aires Centre, Nélida Gómez Vila, has been teaching Spanish in Argentina since 1990, beginning her career teaching Spanish to foreign executives during Argentina's privatization process of the 90's.
Since then, Nélida has been quick to innovate and spot new business trends. In 1998, with eight years of solid teaching experience behind her, she undertook a new business venture: combining Spanish training with exposure to Argentina's rich culture. She then started Buenos Aires Centre to provide customers with various ways to learn Spanish while also gaining cultural experiences.

Buenos Aires Centre was the first language school in Argentina to combine Spanish studies with tourism. Its seven-year history, along with the founder's understanding of the business climate in Argentina, has given Buenos Aires Centre a very solid reputation as well as many satisfied customers.
With Buenos Aires Centre as your Spanish school, you will learn Spanish in the heart of city, allowing you to easily experience both Argentine culture and the important sights of beautiful Buenos Aires.
You will be glad you chose Buenos Aires Centre.

In addition, we have developed some of our own resources for teaching, implementing interactive audiovisual material (VHS, DVD, etc.) All student material comes with the program at no additional charge.

3.- SUPERIOR CLASSROOMS

How are our classrooms? At Buenos Aires Centre, our classrooms are private and well-separated, so activities in one classroom do not interfere with the activities of another.

We find that classes with 3-6 students and operated with the "total immersion" methodology are optimal for language learning. This small size together with an intensive technique ensures intimacy with your teacher and lively interaction with your classmates, providing you with more opportunities for speaking and conversation. All classes are fully conducted in Spanish, with little to no English spoken by your teacher. You will have no choice but to learn Spanish in our Spanish-only environment!

In addition to classes, you and other students will be taken on excursions and social outings (accompanied by your instructors) for additional Spanish practice in a real-world setting.
