Teacher in Stellenbosch

We are a private Spanish and Portuguese Language School located in Cape Town - South Africa.

We have been hand selected by the most prestigious universities in Cape Town as their communicative teaching partner of choice. Our teachers are all Master degree graduates in Foreign Language studies with a minimum of 3 years international teaching experience. Most of our teachers have been with us from day one; some for close to 10 years. We are passionate, committed and motivated to ensure the progress of our students. We aim to give our students the confidence in all types of situations, thus allowing quick and easy integration into the culture. We keep our classes small to enable lecturers to give individual attention to each student and to ensure everyone is actively involved at all times. Whether you want to work, travel or simply have a love for Latin languages, you can be sure to have the experience of a lifetime studying at Mi Casa of Languages. Our emphasis falls on communicative language teachings; building the foundations for a formal qualification. Mi Casa of Languages offer tailored-made group courses and private tutoring, to individuals and companies, with a guaranteed end result that you will succeed no matter what your motivation is to speak Spanish or Portuguese. Mi Casa of Languages is a Communicative Language School. We teach our students how to communicate (speak, read and write) in either Portuguese & Spanish, forming the foundation towards a formal qualification. Mi Casa of Languages, through its affiliation with the major universities in SA and abroad have however obtained a SAQA Accreditation (Issued by the South African Qualification Association), recognising our course material and teaching methods. We are therefor the only Communicative Language School in South Africa with accreditation. Mi Casa of Languages will always remain small enough to be considered a Family business. To us, the teaching and learning of beautiful and historic Portuguese and Spanish is serious business and our students’ success is our priority and greatest reward! All our native-speaking teachers who teach our customised courses are very highly qualified and experienced, with degrees and diplomas in teaching Spanish or Portuguese as a foreign language, or in Latin linguistics. We understand the need for South Africans travelling to and working in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries, and therefore teach universal Spanish and Portuguese with an extensive knowledge of the Latin cultures and local vocabulary. At Mi Casa, learning these beautiful and historical languages is serious business! Languages are all about communication, so what better way to learn Portuguese or Spanish than in a group setting? At the end of this level you will be able to understand, verbalise, read and write short, simple texts containing familiar vocabulary including basic terminology. During this level, the language learning process becomes even more interesting and enjoyable. During this level, we continue with grammatical studies, but more emphasis is placed on communication. The purpose of learning a new language is to eventually speak, read and write the new language. These levels are also a perfect option for students who have studied the language in the past but had a gap in-between or for students that have lived in Spanish or Portuguese speaking countries where they have learned the language, but now find themselves back in South Africa and they need to revise and keep up with the language.
