At Instituto Jovel, we have been teaching Spanish to students from all over the world since 1993.
We offer one-on-one Spanish instruction and group instruction. Our Spanish classes are set up to accommodate individual learning styles, personal interests, and preferences. All of our teachers are specially trained second language teachers, all Mexicans, but they all also speak fluent English, necessary sometimes to explain some concepts. Some of our students would like to learn “Survival Spanish” for their travels, other would like to study the language in all its complexities, others need their Spanish as bilingual teachers, physicians or other professions.
Jovel has partnerships with the following universities and colleges in Mexico. You can gain full or conditional acceptance into one of these institutions.
The nationality and age mix at Instituto Jovel varies over different time periods, courses and levels. Throughout the year, the average age is 25. In the summer, the average age is 25.
Jovel teaches students from all over the world, including:
Instituto Jovel is located at only 2 1/2 blocks from the main square. It is really close to the main services in downtown and closes to the main pedestrian streets such us Guadalupe and el Carmen. All the services are in walking distances from the school. It is in front of the Antigua Hotel.
We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. The school is also not authorized to issue documents to support your visa application. If you need a visa, you have to apply for a visitor or tourist visa on your own.
