ABOUT US
The Cervantes Institute was founded in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1986 by Isabelle Jennings, a Chilean attorney, teacher and translator. The Institute’s goal is to provide high-quality instruction in grammatical and conversational aspects of the Spanish language.

The teaching staff is composed of native speakers who have university degrees and experience in modern educational techniques. Classes are given privately; instruction is one-on-one.

OUR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Each student experiences the introduction of basic language concepts differently. Therefore, it is difficult for many students to learn Spanish in a group situation. The advantage of one-to-one instruction is that the student sets the pace and the teacher can tailor classes to his or her specific needs. We believe that language proficiency is an ongoing lifetime investment: you must use it or lose it.

VIRTUAL CLASSES
Spanish
At Cervantes Institute we now offer virtual Spanish classes. Our one-on-one approach will be taught through Skype©, by landline, or by cell phone, so we are available to teach you wherever you are. Give us a call or send us an e-mail to set up your classes.

Each section lasts five weeks. Throughout this course the student is encouraged to participate accurately and to complete homework assignments so that rapid progress can be made.

Fundamentals fo Spanish is offered on a one-to-one basis only and is tailored to each individual. For those with some prior knowledge of Spanish, the instructor will determine how many weeks of grammar instruction are needed in order to move on to the Conversational sequence.
