I had a wonderful time in the this school! Maria is very professional and kind and when I got sick it was no problem at all to postpone my lessons to the next week. I had a great time with Carlos who was my conversation teacher and Kelsey who was the best grammar teacher I could imagined. Thank you all so much for the great week!

Es war alles einfach perfekt! Mein Partner und ich haben in der Sprachschule gewohnt und eine Woche Unterricht genommen. Da der Unterricht 1 zu 1 ist haben wir unglaublich viel gelernt. Die Lehrer sind ausserordentlich freundlich und geduldig. Maria die Gastgeberin und Inhaberin der Schule hat uns immer super um uns gekümmert und das Essen war unglaublich gut. Sie hat uns auch die Umgebung gezeigt. Das Zimmer ist gross und gut eingerichtet. Das Badezimmer ebenso (mit warmem Wasser). Und auf der Dachterrasse hat es gefiltertes Trinkwasser. Das WLAN ist gut. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie zu Hause und können es zu 100% weiter empfehlen!

In Arequipa Spanisch zu lernen, hat meine Reise unglaublich bereichert. Durch die Aufteilung der Stunden in Grammatik und Konversation hatte ich schnell einen theoretischen Überblick und konnte das Gelernte in der Praxis vertiefen. Außerdem hatte ich das Glück ab der zweiten Woche in der Sprachschule wohnen zu dürfen. Es gibt eine warme Dusche und gutes Internet. Außerdem wurde ich hervorragend bekocht. Es war ausgesprochen freundlich, dass hierbei auf meine besonderen Bedürfnisse als Vegetarierin perfekt eingegangen wurde. Nochmals vielen Dank! Ich kann diese Sprachschule mit bestem Gewissen jedem Empfehlen!!!

My husband and I both improved our Spanish immensely during the week we studied at the school. The teachers really knew their grammar and we were happy with the pace of instruction. The spontaneous conversations were so helpful too - the teachers tried to incorporate the grammar we had just learned in class, but we also learned a lot of vocabulary, history, and cultural norms during our conversations. It was a great experience - thank you Maria and teachers!

This is an excellent place to learn Spanish! Maria is a warm and kind lady who has designed the curriculum brilliantly, with 2 hours of grammar and 2 hours of conversation practice each day. The teachers are very invested and passionate (special shoutout to Joan and Renzo who looked after me 1-1). My experience was very personalised to my level. I am amazed how much I learned in just one week. The school is very close to the city centre, in a beautiful neighbourhood, where you get to learn in the fresh air of Arequipa. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

I spent five weeks at Llama Education Spanish School and it was by far the most incredible learning and cultural immersion experience! The teachers are EXCELLENT -- I did four hours of class a day and while initially I thought it was going to be a lot, the time absolutely flew by and my Spanish improved immensely! The teachers adjust quickly to your level, and take your input into consideration. They also teach you about local customs, foods, history and traditions in Peru. Above all, the classes were so much fun -- that made learning Spanish such a great experience! I also stayed at the school (private room + private bathroom) which was so wonderful! Maria is an excellent cook, showed me around Arequipa, helped coordinate any taxis etc. She truly went above and beyond that made me feel so safe and at home in Arequipa! It was also so helpful to practice speaking with Maria in the afternoons including what I had learned in class that day. Lastly, I will just say if you are looking to study Spanish somewhere in Peru -- Arequipa is such a perfect city! It has a wonderful culture, amazing food and most people do not speak much English so you are forced to practice your Spanish! It is a very walkable city and I had an amazing time here. I am already trying to see when I can come back to Arequipa and Llama Education -- such an incredible experience!

I took classes here for two weeks just after arriving in Peru. The teachers were incredibly helpful and friendly, and they made sure to focus on the things I most needed/wanted to study. I never felt pressure when I struggled. It is very intensive, and my Spanish improved a lot in just those two weeks!! Also, it was obvious Maria really cared about the students. She even brought someone a cake when they had class on their birthday. All in all, highly useful classes I would recommend to anyone.

I can highly recommend Llama Education Spanish school. Maria the owner is a wonderful person and my teachers were amazing too. I spend a week at the school with 4 hours of private Spanish classes per day (2h of Grammer and 2h of conversation). My two teachers Joan and Kelly were great: Knowledgeable, kind and spoke very good English too. I feel like I have improved my level of Spanish significantly within this short time frame. The weather was nice, so we did the classes in the courtyard of Maria's house, which was lovely. The school is in a nice and safe neighborhood of Arequipa and I walked every day from the Centro histórico. I had selected the schools because of the good reviews and they are very true. Thank you Maria!
