Gaviria Academy of Languages

Fantastic experience: Monica is a gem of a teacher. I’ve been working with her for about 8 months now, and I have noticed a huge improvement in my comprehension of the Spanish language. She’s a joy to work with, communicative, and tailors the lesson to what works best for you. I couldn’t recommend her more, for anyone starting or continuing their Spanish learning journey.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place for learning Spanish. Mary Luz is great teacher, very patient, and understanding. I've improved a lot during my time there!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a wonderful opportunity to learn from an expert teacher in a warm and personal environment, there is nothing to beat Gaviria Academy of Languages!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I am a french native, who can speak english and a little bit of german, but unfortunately i never took spanish at school. When i arrived in Miami in august 2018, i quickly realised that i could not survive here without speaking conversational spanish, so i looked up online for a place to start learning spanish, and found GAVIRA LANGUAGES center. I got in touch with mary-luz who offered to start me with one hour sessions twice a week at a very reasonable price. Since i started my session with mary-luz, i have improved my spanish considerably!! I can now speak, text, answer the phone, even negociate at work in spanish! And the beauty of it is: through this conversation system that the center offers ( “1 on 1”hour of talking to each other about your life while learning new words/ grammar/ etc..), i got to learn the spanish that I needed! For my private life and my work. I have to say i have gotten really close to my teacher mary luz, almost like a friend ( or a therapist!!) - she knows my entire life ! And has made me open to speaking spanish without fear or shame thanks to her “non jugemental” approach. I am addicted to my sessions and now stop them for a month every 2-3 months in order to practice more solo and get back to the center ready to improve even more! The system they use ( an app called quizlet), is very smart and targetted to you with all the words and expressions you learn along the way. I am extremly pleased with the gavira languages center and have already recommended it to my friends who want to start learning spanish or get better at it! You should try it!!

Fantastic experience: Monica and Mary Luz are outstanding teachers. The first thing you discover is their passion, patience, and experience when it comes to teaching Spanish. Each student's individual needs, personality, and schedule is perfectly tailored to match. Let's face it; not everyone learns the same way or at the same speed. The sisters make adjustments to keep things exciting and moving forward. I had just retired and was finally able to focus on my Spanish. Somewhere, locked in my head was a lot of grammar and vocabulary. They helped me unlock it. Before long, we were carrying on conversations in Spanish and I was feeling more and more confident. The sessions were challenging and enjoyable. My biggest complaint, they went by too quickly. Little by little I got better; and the better I got, the easier it became. I still have a long ways to go, but it feels great to be making so much progress. Thank you, Monica and Mary Luz. Their prices are very reasonable, and their schedule is accommodating. On top of that, they are super friendly people, delightful, and easy to engage. Has it been worth it? Definitely, or as they say in Spanish, "vale la pena."
