Agora Language Center

The lessons were varied, interesting and helped me learn Spanish quickly! Isabel is an excellent instructor and challenged us to communicate in Spanish the whole time. Great mix of lessons and games. I liked the school so much I’m continuing my learning virtually. Would highly recommend.

The location is perfectly in the middle of Playa Del Carmen which made silly after-class tourist activities convenient. Anne has created a welcoming and comfortable space to learn. Isa is an excellent teacher who keeps students on-task, focused and progressing through the day's agenda. We had three people in our group and Isa modified her presentation and interactions with us according to our individual abilities. The work was well balanced between grammar, writing, listening and speaking. I highly recommend Agora to those lucky enough to study in Play del Carmen.

I liked my stay at Agora! Anne, the head of the school, is super friendly and my teacher Ana was great - funny, motivating and skilled! The classes covered pretty much all of all aspects of language learning, be it reading, writing, listening or speaking! The school is located very central in the city, so if you are living somewhere there the school is good to reach. I can't say anything about housing since I made my own arrangements. The school, however I can recommend!

Our teacher Isabel was very good and was so patient and kind - we really liked her. And Anne, the director of the school, was very also very nice, helpful and easy to deal with, as well as other staff we had contact with.

We liked what we learned but would have appreciated knowing the curriculum in advance so that we knew what to expect when we got there. It would have been more helpful to us is we would have covered simple forms of the past, present and future over the two weeks we were there so that we could carry on simple conversations in Spanish.

The toilet sometimes malfunctioned and you had to use a bucket of water to flush it.

I had the pleasure and good fortune of signing up for Agora in Playa del Carmen on my trip in January 2018. Before I arrived, I communicated with Anne, the center manager. She was quick to respond in detail regarding class hours and my needs. She also gave specific instructions on how to find the school. It turned out that my Airbnb was literally in the same building! That made things easier for me.
Unfortunately my trip took a weird twist when I fell down some stairs and broke my ankle on my 2nd day. Of course I was upset that scuba diving was now off the itinerary, not to mention Chichen Itza and many other sights I had planned to see. However I decided to stick it out with the Spanish lessons. I'm very glad I did!
Anne was super helpful and considerate of my situation, helping me acquire essentials like water and groceries at no expense, just out of kindness. However when you sign up for a language school, "kindness" is not the most important thing. Luckily I learned that they are also very professional, with very qualified teachers.
My teacher was Ana. As a language teacher myself, I think I have a pretty good idea of what to look for, and Ana checks all the boxes and more. In addition to being very friendly and easygoing, she has a very concise grasp of that language, and is definitely a very experienced teacher. She was very responsive to my learning rate of learning, adjusting quickly to suit my pace. I suppose I was in a bit of a weird situation since to begin I wasn't even A1, but I had already memorized about 30 verbs and maybe 100 nouns. I just couldn't really string them together confidently yet. Ana adjusted perfectly. Unfortunately, due to my broken foot, I wasn't really able to participate in any social activities, so I can't comment on those.
All in all I would absolutely continue my lessons here if I had the opportunity.

Lulu is so funny, i like her. The location is nice. I had a great time there.
I wished i learnd a bit more there but it was the first time.... so it was really hard... but i learnd MANY vocabulares - so everything is great.

The host family was very friendly and spent much time with us and vent on tourist places. And we learned and practice through games and cooking.

I spent a week in Playa del Carmen. I did the Advanced Diving Certification and private Spanish lessons. The school coordinated everything for me. I spent my mornings diving and my afternoons learning Spanish. The school was a walking distance to the housing.

I worked in Playa for 6 months, and took personal courses with Teresa, a professor at Agora.

I found the reception nice. The classrooms were equipped with air-conditioning so it was a very good atmosphere for work. I was very happy because it was important for me to be relaxed for learning.

Moreover, Agora is in the city center so you don't lose any time going to your classroom. They give you material to learn, and you have many activities to do, some which make you use your head in many ways, which is good!

The team gave me a personal schedule, which was adapted to my progression and my availability. They were very accommodating with the students.

My last point, but not the least, was the good mood, the vivacity, and the carefulness from Teresa my teacher! She is a perfect teacher.
I recommend this school for sure!

We did the intensive Spanish program for three weeks from 9:00-13:00 Monday-Friday. Our teacher Lulú was great! She is very good at teaching and the classes with her were a lot of fun. Everyday we did two hours of grammar and two hours of speaking. The classes were very small, which was nice because we got a lot of attention. Besides those classes they also offered activities, which is a nice way to explore the area. We went to Ek Balam and Akumal, which was a lot of fun. The school is located in Playa Del Carmen, but it is easily accessible even when staying in Cancún by taking the PlayaExpress. We learned a lot during those three weeks and we would definitely return!

I spent 3 1/2 months in Playa del Carmen. Upon arriving, I did not speak Spanish at all. Now as I leave, I feel I managed pretty well for all my current needs.

I enjoyed the cheap formula that gave me tools for my everyday life with local people.

The welcoming and availability of the owner was extraordinary. The owner was a person who loves others and who does not count his time. I also really appreciated the professionalism of the teacher.

I was also able to make friends with other teachers in this school, and I felt the school was like home with their sense of help and sharing.

The premises are ideally located in the center, which was close to everything. The land and the classes are “North American.”

I do not have any negative points!

I have fond memories of my time at this school. Anne, the owner, has become a friend to me and we remain in contact with each other.
