I love working with don Quijote because by being at the school and planning my courses, I am able to establish a very personal relationship with my students. They are not numbers.

I love that at don Quijote we take a humanistic approach, and that it’s even more flexible and open. Small class sizes also allow us to create and customize our learning path day to day.

Salomé Torres (Tenerife)

I am passionate about teaching at don Quijote because of its small class. It allows me to build a great relationships with the students that they end up becoming part of my family or friends, or simply Facebook friends... But the best and most important aspect of the school is that we all learn from each other.
