"Cours très didactiques avec professeurs adaptant leur pédagogie au public concerne"

Veronique Vanderveck, student from France

J étais ravie de participer à ces cours d’une semaine, quatre heures. Accueil chaleureux á l’arrivée. Locaux clairs, propres et agréables. Peu d’ élèves, nous étions six. Pédagogie active des deux professeurs.. Ils ont su s’adapter au public qu’ils avaient devant eux. Beaucoup d’échanges verbaux. Je recommencerai au même endroit si l’occasion se présente et beaucoup plus longtemps.

"Useful and interesting. Made for anyone"

Lavinia Isella, student from Italy

I lived in a house very near to the centre and to the school. My host-mom was really nice with me and gave me and my roommate personal space and freedom.
Every morning, during classes, I had fun learning some new words or revising some grammar rules. The teachers were young and patients.
I loved the activities prepared by the school even if we couldn't do some activities because of the San Juan week. My favourite day was the ones where we went to the beach and I hoped we could've stayed there for longer time.
I loved the experience in Alicante with Estudio Sampere, I met some new fantastic people and saw very interesting places, like the MARQ museum. I should definitely come back and tell my friend to do the same.

"Very professional set up and very enjoyable classes. Good teachers"

Lesley Culley, student from UK

The moment you walk in you know you are in a very professional place. I received a very friendly welcome from the director. The level test is important to ensure you are put in the right class.
You are given lots of opportunity to listen and speak in a structured way which improves your grammar. They use an excellent text book: Aula.
The only negative was that some students in my class were erratic in their attendance and some arrived late.

Good, comfortable, welcoming accommodation makes all the difference when it comes to your Spanish studies in Alicante.
We understand this and work hard to give you the best choices of accommodation in all destinations.

Estudio Sampere inspects all accommodations and selects them based on their good value, cleanliness, reliability, facilities and location. We have direct management of the accommodation, avoiding any intermediary.

Our accommodation team will go above and beyond to find the best option for you, based on your needs and preferences. Our team will advise you and assist you, should you have questions on the geographical situation of the area that you will be staying at, getting to school, communicating with your host family or the owner of the apartment, living with other international students, and particularly with Spanish speakers, as well as on their traditions and customs, gastronomy, and your food preferences.

The idea is to adapt everything to your daily habits, so that you feel like home. We know every student is unique, and has a different lifestyle. Whatever your option and your destination is, you can make sure Estudio Sampere will make you feel at home!

Estudio Sampere has reached agreements with several families, who are willing to welcome students in their homes. This option provides a full linguistic and cultural immersion, since students not only practice the language in class with their teachers, but also have real-life experiences with their host family. They help students on their day-to-day, and teach them vocabulary and expressions that are typical of each region, and of each member of the family. This way, students get a first-hand approach on how to live
Spanish speakers, their local gastronomy and jargon.

At home, students will share the common areas with the rest of the family: the living room, kitchen, bathroom, but they will have, of course, their own private bedroom. In case of couples or friends traveling together, the choice of a double room is also available.

Families have been carefully hand-picked to meet our requirements. As language experts, we know that being away from home can affect the student’s learning and overall experience. Thus, our families are used to welcoming students and making them feel part of the family. We select the family based on the students’ interests, so that this experience can provide both an academic and a personal enrichment.

Students can choose the half-board option, if they also want to try the delicious local cuisine offered by each destination at local restaurants, or full-board if they want to take full advantage of the experience of discovering traditional dishes, prepared with great care by the families.

The Director of each school, always at the student’s disposal, can change a student’s accommodation if the need arises. If the student is not happy and wants to change family, the School will propose the names of three additional families that the student can visit and then make his/her choice. There is no extra cost if a student decides to change families.

Thanks to our more than 60 years of experience hosting students, we are confident that we will be able to fulfill your expectations. Our most recent satisfaction survey shows a 90% success rate, both for students and for members of the families.
