Jorge Mario is a great Spanish teacher. I really appreciate his teaching methodology. Great sense of humor and easy to talk to. He was also super flexible around scheduling and meeting us in convenient locations. I definitely felt my Spanish improve even in about 7 classes together!

I just spent a month studying Spanish daily with Jorge, and feel like I need to share about my incredible experience! I got connected to Jorge by word of mouth (always the best!), and the next day he was sitting at my breakfast table connecting with me and explaining his system of teaching Spanish. I have a late-intermediate knowledge of Spanish, with many years of American public school classes and some university level Spanish education. Jorge was able to meet me exactly where I was— which is to say, I needed a lot of review and practice! Jorge has been doing this work for a very long time, and he himself has studied Spanish grammar at the university level (not common for Spanish teachers here), so he was able to help refine my knowledge and answer my questions about gramatical functions in Spanish that you cannot translate cleanly into English. My favorite part about lessons with Jorge (other than his extremely cute and sweet pack of dogs) was how relaxed they were. Although I felt a sort of time related pressure to polish my Spanish, Jorge’s easy demeanor put me at ease, which I think is necessary for my learning style. Thanks for everything, Jorge, Milly, Lizzy, Gringo, Kikín, Tim, and El Patotas!

I recommand taking Spanish classes with the Spanish School Cooperacion! Jorge Mario is a good teacher and he comes directly at our airbnb for the lessons. I also had the pleasure to learn how to salsa during my last lesson 💃 Thank you for everything!

We spent two months learning Spanish from Jorge while in Antigua. My husband is fairly advanced, while I am much more a beginner. We both found Jorge to be an excellent teacher; he is very flexible in his teaching style and can literally adjust the lesson in the moment. The school prices were more than fair, especially since your teacher will come to you. Although we did not utilize this service, he is happy to arrange homestays as well. We found the lessons so valuable that we are going to continue via Skype. Thanks for everything Jorge.

Hoi allemaal! Als iemand een fijne docent in Antigua zoekt kan ik Jorge Mario aanraden. Ik heb een weekje les met hem als superfijn ervaren. Z’n manier van lesgeven voelt super natuurlijk, en hij weet precies wat je nodig hebt om je te verbeteren. Momenteel zit ik bij een school in San Pedro, en dit voelt toch een stukje commerciëler, en daarnaast wat minder gestructureerd. Jorge Mario is ook superflexibel als je wilt veranderen van tijdstippen, aantal uren of studielocatie. Als ik terugkom in Antigua zou ik meteen weer een paar uur les met hem meepakken.

I spontaneously had 2 days in Antigua and decided to have a few lessons. Jorge Mario answered me immediately the evening before and I was lucky enough to have 3 hours the next two days with him. He’s a very good teacher, his lessons were fun and focused on teaching the most useful phrases/words/expressions/grammar- never boring but instead very diversified and helpful! If you are in Antigua I highly recommend a course with him, I’d do it immediately next time I’m there.

Spanish School Cooperacion was, by far, the best Spanish school experience I have had. Jorge is a GREAT teacher who makes each lesson fun and engaging. He tailors lessons and content to each student, ensuring that you get the best possible instruction. If you're hoping to learn or improve your Spanish abilities, stop looking for a teacher and sign up with Cooperacion!

It was such a great time to study there with Mario and other teachers. teachers were very easy to talk to even during break time. There were many textbooks and materias and those encouraged me to study and talk a lot. I couldn't wait to see them and have conversations till next day. They were really helpful not only Studying but hanging around, getting daily stuffs, and finding host family. And I also liked to dance Salsa !

I can highly recommend the SPANISH SCHOOL COOPERACION! Mario is such a great teacher and the teaching system is much better than in other spanish schools. If you are looking for a spanish school you have to go to Mario (and his dogs - they are soo cute)!
