Teaching Style

We understand that everyone has a different learning style, so our teachers use a variety of techniques to make learning easy and fun. We know that not everyone wants to sit in a classroom; therefore we aim to provide plenty of opportunities to reinforce vocabulary and grammar through games, and activities in and around Nebaj.

Our goal is to make our lessons as well-rounded as possible, providing exercises that will incorporate writing, reading, and pronunciation so as to offer a custom tailored learning experience. Furthermore, as a result of our unique location, lessons will also focus on learning about the rich customs, culture, and politics of the Ixil region.
