I attended classes for three weeks in June and would recommend the school to anyone. I am thinking of returning. The administration staff were extremely helpful and nothing was any trouble. My teachers, Belém and Claudia were really lovely and very personable, efficient and professional. Valencia was a really good place to be; not too big, not too small.
I was a student at Route66 for three weeks in the summer of 2018. I took the four hour intensive course and it did make a significant difference to my Spanish. Both teachers were consistently good and very helpful. On my experience, I’d certainly recommend Route66. Admin was well handled too. Only down side was having to buy yet another set of Spanish books!
It was perfect to improve my Spanish. Actually I chose Route 66 because It was the only language school in Valencia that is open from 8 am for private lessons., but I was so relieved to see that I had chosen a very professional school. Cristina is an excellent teacher as well. I will definitely choose Route 66 again when I want to have some private lessons in Valencia.
I enrolled for 2.5 weeks of the intensive (4 hrs/day) course in Oct/Nov 2018. Over that span of time I had Cristina, Belen, Claudia and Edgar as instructors, and all were very good — energetic, upbeat, clear. They were able to teach and answer questions making exclusive use of Spanish (augmented by some gesturing/acting…), which was wonderful.
There was a strong emphasis on getting students to SPEAK, which was exactly what I was seeking, and the small size of my class ensured that I had my fair share of attention. I’ve enrolled in two other Spanish schools over the years, and those schools had a greater emphasis upon grammar/vocabulary and working through the textbook and exercise book. Here, we worked through the material at perhaps a slower pace, but had a MUCH greater opportunity to practice the use of the material there in class, which led to a better outcome — i.e., I felt like my spoken and written Spanish improved quite a bit in the 2+ weeks. Strongly recommend this school, and plan to come back myself for a longer stint.
Took a 32-week intensive Spanish course (4 hours per day/5 days a week) and was not disappointed. Teachers are highly experienced as well as caring and fun! Great classroom environment (max 6 students) They also helped me with all of the necessary paperwork related to the visa process. You will not be disappointed with this school which is located in the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in the world – Valencia Spain!
This is a quality language school with dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. Class sizes are great – 3 students only in most of mine, so plenty of attention. There is a good mix of men, women and ages, which as a middle-aged, male, adult learner was important to me. The classrooms themselves are very pleasant with natural light and there is a nice library/communal area with tea and coffee for the breaks. All in all a good cummunity feeling and a great place to learn Spanish. Highly recommended.
In my time at Route 66 I met a number of people and I can honestly say that every person I met was a kind person and easy to get along with. In particular the staff were really kind during lessons and are very good at explaining things that you have trouble with. Not only this but their help extended to out of classroom hours. Whenever I had an issue they would often spare a moment either in their break or on their way to another class to quickly explain things.
In addition, the administration department was brilliant. Their help too extended beyond the classroom, helping me one time when I had a medical issue with my arm and I was booked an appointment with someone. It made living in a foreign country very easy and assuring because I knew I had people to talk to if I was having any issues, language related or not.
I would highly recommend going to this school.
I attended Route 66 classes for about 10 months. I had 2 different teachers during this time and both were amazing. I learned a lot, had fun, and made new friends. I highly recommend Route 66. The staff is great, it’s a fun, relaxed environment, and the teachers are fantastic!!
I spent two weeks learning Spanish from 9am – 1pm. All the staff and teachers were super friendly and helpful. There is a nice, welcoming atmosphere at Route 66, and you can use the library to study in the afternoons. I stayed with a Spanish host, which I highly recommend if you want to really practice the language. My only criticism is that , apart from Paella on the first day, we didn’t do any organized social activities together. As a single person, I would have appreciated more social activities. Overall though, I would recommend Route 66 as a great school for learning languages in Valencia.
My instructor, Elena, was fantastic. Personable, upbeat, reliable and, best of all, non-judgmental. You can’t go wrong with Spanish instruction from Route 66.
I studied Spanish at Route 66 for 2 weeks. I had 2 morning classes plus an extra private lesson in the afternoon. The morning classes were fun interacting with other students, but the private lessons I had in the afternnon were also useful as I could put into practice the grammar I learned in the morning classes. Special thanks to Maite, the teacher for my private lessons, she’s a great teacher but also very charming.
I also liked the host family I found through the school. The host mother was very kind, she had all the patient to listen to me and talked to me throughout my stay. My level was Elementary and by staying with a host family helped me a lot to practise my Spanish. The admin staff were all friendly too, so all in all I was highly satisfied with the school.
I spent over four months studying Spanish at Route 66. It was just what I was looking for. Rene is very accommodating. His teaching staff are well prepared and responsive to the individual needs of students. Beyond language skills the class time is infused with information on cultural normal. local traditions, and current activities. It was an excellent experience. Claudia, my teacher and friend, is outstanding. I always looked forward to classes and when I return to Valencia, I will return to Route 66.
I came to Route 66 for a couple of weeks in June and did A1 classes. The teachers were all great – really enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable. The classes were fun and engaging and the class size was small. If I ever come back to Valencia I would definitely choose to continue learning Spanish with Route 66.
I’d attended a group language class earlier in our trip and was looking for a private session in Valencia to practice conversation. Route 66 worked closely with me to structure a class to meet my scheduling requirements and language goals. My instructor, Edgar, was excellent, tailoring each session to my abilities and interests- I learned a ton about Spanish culture and history while I was practicing the language. Route 66 provided exactly the experience I’d hoped for- thanks Rene!- and I’ll study with them again when I’m back in Valencia.
I studied here for 2 weeks in July. Lovely school, well located with great facilities. Teachers were friendly, fun and professional. René worked hard to find alternative classes for me as I was between levels. Classes had 6 students maximum so they were a good size for learning and getting to know your classmates. I really liked the course books and materials. The tea, coffee and biscuits offered at break was a nice touch, too.
Wow, exceptional customer service! Very flexible administration for make up dates unlike any language school I have ever been to. Teachers were fun and knowledgeable and class time flew by. As with any course you get out what you put in. I highly recommend this school. It is very reasonably priced, great location and friendly staff!
Auch beim 2. Mal waren es wieder 2 schöne Wochen Sprachurlaub mit sympathischen und kompetenten Sprachlehrern. /// The second course has been as good as the first last year. Sympathic and competent teachers. /// Le deuxième fois etait bon aussi, comme le premier fois l’année dernière. 🙂
¡Hasta la tercera vez en el proximo año! Saludos a Rene y las profesoras
I had an excellent week of morning lessons whilst on holiday in Valencia. I decided to brush-up my rusty Spanish, and choose Route 66 on the basis of other reviews. And they weren’t wrong. Route 66 is a friendly school, and the class size of 5 was perfect for ensuring that we got the right mix of speaking and listening – speaking is hard! 🙂
A special call out to our two teachers, E & A – they did a great job at making us comfortable, helping us when we needed it, and generally coaxing Spanish out of us. Lessons were held entirely in Spanish (at A2 level), which was great. By the end of the week, I’d ‘recovered’ quite a bit of my B1 Spanish and was able to hold my own in restaurants and other ‘low impact’ situations.
So thank you, Route 66, you’ve restarted me on (hopefully) my way to being better at Spanish – and maybe event fluent, one day in the future.
¡Muchas Gracias!
Alex
I can recommend this school, well located in the city centre with good facilities, small classes and friendly, enthusiastic staff. Rene was really flexible and helpful in enabling me to change the dates of my course at the last minute. Many thanks! Warmly, Hannya
Great friendly environment with flexible timetable in the heart of the city, suitable for a busy mum of 2 like me. Definitely will recommend my friends who wants to come to valencia to study spanish. Maria is very fun and nice, i am so great to be in her class.
