ELE ALEPH Spanish language school Reviews

I attended Ele Aleph in Valencia for a 4-week intensive Spanish course, and it was a truly wonderful experience. What makes this school stand out is that they put heart in education—you feel cared for as a person, not just as a student.

The lessons were well-structured and engaging, and I enjoyed every class. My teacher, the staff, and even my classmates created such a positive and welcoming environment. I had planned to continue for another term, but personal circumstances got in the way. When I had to request a refund, the team handled everything with incredible speed and professionalism.

I highly recommend Ele Aleph to anyone looking to learn Spanish in Valencia—not just for the quality of teaching, but for the warmth and heart that define the school.

A kind of family business run school: a mix of friendly, playful, fun as well as professional way of learning Spanish. Fun and progress both guaranteed!

Highly recommend!! Ele Aleph is an amazing Spanish school. Friendly and passionate teachers, and a great way to meet people from all around the world in Valencia. Really helped me to speak in Spanish with more confidence and get a better understanding of the Spanish language.

I definitely recommend this school for Spanish learners. Teachers are absolute professionals and classes are on a very high level in every aspect. Spent there 2 weeks on an intensive+ course and I felt very welcomed all the time and enjoyed every class 🪶

Having been to many other language schools in Spain, this school, I have to say is one of the best. A really cozy and friendly school with three classrooms - they are never oversubscribed and both teachers, I have met have been excellent, in terms of accommodating the learning needs of the students . Lessons are well paced, fun and varied concentrating on speaking, listening writing and reading with plenty of group and pair work to get to know your fellow classmates. If students are stuck on a particular point, they take their time out to explain things to you. The standard of teaching here is quite high and I would thoroughly recommend the school for all levels.

I‘ve visited this Spanish school last summer for a month and had the best time! 🙏🏻 I learned so much and felt so much more secure speaking Spanish afterwards. The teachers are wonderful at teaching, they are great at explaining, so nice and friendly, the lessons flew by. 🧑🏼‍🏫 I loved that the main focus was put on speaking a lot and keeping everything in Spanish which is the most effective way to learn a new language. I can recommend this school without any doubt! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I did a month extensive course and it was great - the staff were so flexible, and friendly. I had a great teacher who made the classes go fast and were very interactive. Great mix of grammer and practice speaking/listening. Great location in Valencia. I was sad I had to go back home! Highly recommend.

Having retired to Valencia with very little knowledge of the Spanish language, we decided to take private lessons (just me and my husband with a teacher) at ELE Aleph and we are so glad we did.

We took lessons over a two year period and the school were very flexible, always fitting around our plans, whether it was appointments or travel.

Our teacher, Roser, was fabulous! Not only did she teach us Spanish but helped us with some of the practicalities of living here. She was always very patient with us and made our lessons fun. We always looked forward to going to school which is a great feeling as I was initially very nervous about learning a new language at 60!

Thank you ELEAleph

One of the greatest time in my life in this school. I have learned faster with their teaching methods and enjoyed the classes.

Thanks for everyone worked hard to make this school great to learn Spanish.

Special Thanks for the lovely amazing teachers Roser and Meriam.

A big jump in my spanish with your creative ways for learning.

I would recommend the school for any one learning spanish.

The best,

Hasta la próxima

The best school with a great atmosphere and teachers 🫶🏻 O started from level zero and for half a year we almost finished B1 book, got together with the group and made friends. Thank you Ele Aleph, voy a volver en octubre!

I took Spanish classes at ELE ALEPH in Valencia for six months and my experience was exceptional. Here's why:

• Effective Learning Environment: The classes were conducted in small groups, which fostered a personalized learning experience. We mostly followed a textbook but the classes were always engaging and fun.

• Outstanding Teachers and Admin Staff: I had the opportunity to learn from almost all the teachers at the school and each one was fantastic. As a trained teacher myself, I can attest to their professionalism and dedication: They genuinely care about their students. Furthermore, the administrative staff was amazing: Greeting me with a smile every morning and proving to be incredibly helpful with every issue I had.

• Great Price-Service Ratio: The price-service ratio was excellent, making it a great investment. The cost of the classes was very reasonable for the quality of education provided and the books can be rented which saves money as well.

I wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Spanish. From day one, I felt well taken care of and my Spanish improved significantly over the six months.

Overall, if you're looking for a Spanish school in Valencia, you can stop now: ELE ALEPH is the top choice!

My wife and I studied the beginners intensive course (2 hours a day) at this small school for 5 weeks in May and June 2024. Our teacher Christina was amazing and one of the nicest people you are ever going to meet. All the staff are super friendly and helpful. We could not of been more happy with our choice to study here. Next time we are in Valencia we will definitly be going back.

The best Spanish school ever! I studied at Ele Aleph for 10 weeks and I have had the best time and learned so much. To all my teachers and those working at the school - thank you so much.

I will miss it so much 🩵

Muchas Gracias y Hasta “Manzana”

I loved going here, I was only going for 5 weeks and never thought I could talk in Spanish, read and understand. I recommend the intensive + course 4 hours a day 5 days a week, because it creates a new filter in your mind for speaking Spanish quickly. My teacher Cristina was an amazing teacher and made the class feel fun and welcoming where time would fly by.

A TRUE GEM of a school with amazing people who work there! From the second you walk through the front doors you will feel like you are part of a family and you will be in great hands.

I spent 9 months studying Spanish at ELE ALEPH. I started at the A1 level and finished at the beginning of the B2 level. I wouldn't have been able to excel at the pace I did, speak Spanish with confidence and have shared unforgettable memories with my classmates if it wasn't for atmosphere at this school. The teachers are superb and creative in how they each teach, the curriculum is intentional with writing, speaking, and listening (and etc.) exercises, and the small class sizes made my learning Spanish and time in Valencia unforgettable.

I did the Intensive course: 20hr/week (10am - 2pm with a 30 min break). For anyone looking to learn Spanish and/or improve their Spanish I highly recommend the Intensive.

If you're looking for a Spanish School in Valencia, do not look any further - ELE ALEPH is top tier!

Muchas gracias mil por todo - hasta pronto!!

I had a really great time learning at ELE ALEPH. My teacher ,Roser, was very attentive to me and was such a brilliant teacher. There were small class sizes which allowed for all of us to be paid a lot of attention. The entire ELE ALEPH team were so kind and understanding and made it incredibly easy to settle into Valencia. Thank you so much!

Fantastic school with excellent people running it. This is the best school in Valencia for learning Spanish as it meets all the key requirements of: friendly people, superb teachers, brilliant location, small class sizes and very good prices.

Moving country can sometimes be difficult and I had a few visa related problems but it was very comforting to know that I had the staff at the school always available to support me with any issues. They were always very approachable and went out of their way to help with anything I needed. As well as this, the classes were brilliant and I learnt a lot during my time at the school, really improving my gramatical knowledge and my general fluency.

Another great advantage is there’s a warm family feel to the school and you don’t ever feel like you’re just a customer but a part of a little family.

If you’re looking to study Spanish in Valencia, this is the place to do it.

Great school- super friendly, small classes and fantastic, engaging style of teaching. They offer great flexibility based on how much intensity you want and your timetable. Couldn't recommend more!

Everything was perfect during my two-week intensive+ Spanish course at ELE ALEPH. The website is very clear, and the enrollment process easy. Groups are small, and the classes are tailored to the needs of students, so everyone is learning a lot, in an enjoyable way.

I spent 3 months in Valencia this year studying Spanish at ELE ALEPH. The whole experience of hiring the course was so simple and efficient that made me a little suspicious, but that's the thing about this school: it is simple and efficient! From my first day I felt extremely welcome as everyone was so nice! I am sure all the teachers are great, but I was lucky enough to have had Roser as my teacher and I could not have asked for a better one. I had an excellent experience during my time there and I encourage everyone is in the process of choosing a Spanish school in Spain to go to València and have classes at ELE ALEPH!

PS. : I wrote the review in English because, although my Spanish improved tremendously, I am still far from fluent and I don't want to embarrass myself online.

AMOR PARA TODOS!

What an experience! I wish I could‘ve stay longer. I attended class from 10-12:00 and 12:30-2:00 every day for a month. From day 1, we spoke only in Spanish. The ELE ALEPH staff was amazing and very communicative and Roser, our teacher, was incredible. She was very funny, knowledgeable, and helpful and the 3.5 hours of class flew by. The class size was small and we all had plenty of opportunities to practice speaking as well as time to work on our Spanish through different reading and writing exercises. Overall, the class I was placed in was working on exactly what I needed help with and I feel like I learned a lot in the month I was there.

I did stay at an accommodation through the school. It was very clean and close to the school (~5 min walk). The owner was very kind and he brought me a fan once it started to get hot outside. Emails from Ele Aleph provided all the information I needed in a clear way, so I never had to reach out with questions.

Highly recommend if you’re searching for a language school!

A wonderful place to learn Spanish and make friends from various parts of the world. The school itself is quite small, but it still offers you courses on various levels and with different number of classes. And for the best price in Valencia. It is also situated in the city centre, so a short walk from cafes and landmarks e.g. Botanic Gardens . I especially want to thank Rozer for her enthusiasm, engagement and sense of humour. The best teacher of Spanish!

I hope to come to this place again.

Wow, such a positive experience!!! I had the pleasure to do the intensive 4 hours a day course with Roser for 5 weeks, and time just flew by so fast! My Spanish improved like crazy, and Roser’s energy was just amazing. I was happy to go to school every morning. Professional but also so fun and loving. The other students in the class were lovely. And the prices they offer are the cheapest I’ve ever seen in Spain, especially if you apply for the special offer. Sending lots of kisses!

Great school. I took an 80h course (4 weeks) with Ele Aleph and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. My classes were interesting and both teachers I had (Pablo and Juan) were engaging, enthusiastic and genuinely nice. All the administrative help from Ismael was great as well - all communication was clear and courteous. I also really appreciated that my classes were always at the same time which allowed me to plan my time effectively. All in all, great experience which I hope I will be able to repeat in the future!

I have just left Spain after spending over three months studying at ELE ALEPH and I can honestly say that it was an amazing experience. From the very first moment I was made to feel welcome and by the end I felt like I was part of a big family.

The level of teaching is superb. I had three teachers in my time there; Juan, Pablo and Roser, and all of them were amazing. They have very deep knowledge of the language and culture, and their passion for teaching makes the classes very engaging and fun. My Spanish and my confidence to speak improved far more than I expected they would and I’m delighted with the progress I’ve made.

The management are also amazing people and have created a wonderful environment in which to learn Spanish. They are so friendly, supportive, and always greet you with a smile. I had a few problems while I was in Valencia but they were always quick to offer any support and assistance I needed. Thank you so much guys I really appreciate all your help :).

My experience here far exceeded my expectations and I can’t recommend ELE ALEPH highly enough. I've got so much love for this school and I’m planning to go back at the next possible opportunity to take my Spanish to the next level.

I spent two weeks at the school, four hours per day, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The team at ELE Aleph was such a pleasure to work with, from start to finish! Here are some of the highlights that I experienced:

1. They have a good website that was very clear, and the entrance test was very helpful to ensure that I was placed in an appropriate class - I found the level of instruction was just about right for me - challenging but not overwhelming at all.

2. The teachers were so enthusiastic and friendly, and the curriculum was a great mixture of a textbook with exercises, and a lot of in class games, exercises and a variety of other techniques. I had been worried that four hours a day would become boring or overwhelming, and instead I was surprised at how fast the time went.

3. Each day, the Intensive+ class was 2 hours in the morning, from 10-12 AM, then a break for 30 minutes (to get a quick lunch), then continuing from 12:30 to 2 PM. It felt like an ideal amount to really immerse ourselves in Spanish, but wasn't exhausting.

4. The immersion level was very good - virtually no English was spoken during the entire two weeks, and it really got me thinking, talking and listening in Spanish, without any internal "translation" happening.

5. Finally, a shout-out to Miriam, Juan and especially Daniel, our instructors for the time I was there. They each had their own individual style, but all of them were super helpful and encouraging, and kept the games and exercises really fun and interesting, while keeping us moving forward in absorbing the new material.

Overall, this far exceeded my expectations - I had been taking Spanish here in the US for about two years, with 1.5 hours/week and homework, but this 40 hours of instruction in just two weeks really moved my level of Spanish way up. I met a number of local Valencianos and made some wonderful new friends, entirely using the Spanish I had available - one hour conversations were no problem!

I really can't imagine a better experience, and am already planning another trip to continue my studies - and Valencia is a wonderful city to enjoy it in - lots of food, music, theater and other culture, but not as crowded as Barcelona.
