Review

I have lived in Spain twice before but this was pre-Brexit when everything was a lot simpler! I was very keen to move to this wonderful country again but couldn’t see any way I could afford it. The only visa that seemed to be an option was the student visa but the cost of studying at most schools in Madrid was completely prohibitive for me. Plus being aged 50 I was excluded from some other teaching programmes.
To be honest, I had nearly given up hope when I came across Canterbury English, so I checked out their website and was immediately impressed. The site was really comprehensive and informative and I felt very fortunate to have found it. My Skype interview with Richard Clarke, the founder, went very well; he is really helpful and positive and I was given a lot more useful information and was able to ask him any questions I had.
I have been in Madrid since January and I love it! My induction with Richard was extremely useful and I am able to meet other teachers on an impressive variety of weekly activities. I love my Spanish classes and Richard and his team are always there to support you. Canterbury English offer an incredible deal compared to other options that are available and Madrid is a vibrant and wonderful city and ideally located to travel to other areas of Spain and Europe. I am so grateful that I found Canterbury English and I hope to be in Madrid for many years to come!
