Kawai Washburn, USA

"I came to INEPAS after having studied Spanish in a university in the United States, as well as another school in Guatemala, and I can say without a doubt my short time at INEPAS was the best. I wish I had found the school earlier. My instructor was extremely professional and thorough in his instruction – we did not leave a topic to start something new until it had been established that I understood, and we often reviewed past topics to reinforce them. In this manner I never felt like we were just blindly rushing forward from topic to topic. His assessment also revealed several grammatical problems that needed to be fixed, which actually solved a lot of issues I had been running into while speaking. I gained a lot of confidence, and also learned some small exercises I can do independently to keep in practice.

Since I was only in class for 2 weeks, I was not able to participate in the volunteer projects. However after meeting and talking with one of the volunteers, as well as with the school’s director and several staff members, it became clear to me that INEPAS is actually a social service program, with the Spanish school being used to support the social programs. This means that INEPAS is very serious about creating positive change in the community…a lot of schools say they have social programs and volunteer opportunities, but very few have anything close to the scope and seriousness of purpose that INEPAS does. Whether you volunteer or study, your money is going back into the community in the most positive way possible, which was very important to me.

Lastly, I never felt like I was treated like a commodity – a lot of schools seem to fight over students, or are mostly interested in the students' money. I never felt like that was the case at INEPAS. "
