Courses for children
Research shows that children are more receptive to language learning. Children who start studying another language at an early age develop a natural pronunciation, are less inhibited, and greatly benefit from educational enrichment. Bilingual or multilingual children have advantages in school, standardized tests, university admissions, and, not surprisingly, in their professional careers.
The courses for children consist of 60 to 90-minute sessions twice a week, depending on age and level. The method combines conversation with grammar and emphasizes learning in small groups. We use playful teaching materials such as activity books, games, traditional English songs, and much more.
Courses for teenagers
The course for teenagers consists of 90-minute sessions, twice a week. During these classes, a strong emphasis is placed on developing conversation skills, using relevant and engaging topics that capture the interest of young people and reflect their world and everyday experiences. Additionally, they are thoroughly prepared to successfully pass the various Cambridge exams, including the First Certificate, Advanced, and Proficiency. With modern and dynamic teaching methods, students acquire not only linguistic knowledge but also the confidence needed to communicate effectively in English.
Courses for adults
The classes for adults consist of 90-minute sessions, twice a week. However, we understand that everyone has different needs and schedules, so we are flexible and strive to adapt to the individual circumstances of each student to offer the best possible learning experience.
Our methodology varies depending on the group and the specific goals of the students. If students are interested in passing certain English exams, such as those from Cambridge, we design the classes to focus on the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in these tests. For those who wish to learn English for traveling and effectively communicating during their international adventures, our lessons focus on practical situations and useful vocabulary for traveling
Spanish courses for foreigners
We offer Spanish classes year-round with qualified, native, and bilingual teachers in a welcoming environment in the heart of Gros, just 2 minutes from Zurriola beach.
If you are already a resident of Donostia, the classes consist of two 1.5-hour sessions per week, and there are different options depending on your needs.
If you are a beginner and want to refresh your Spanish, The British Centre has been helping people achieve the challenging dream of speaking another language since 2008.
And, if you are visiting our beautiful city and want to improve your Spanish while on vacation, please contact reception for more information.
