In Guatemala, $150 is the lowest price you will see for taking 1 week of Spanish classes. Rates vary if you decide to stay with a host family. The highest we've seen for a week is $310. The teachers themselves are only paid 15Q an hour with a maximum work of 4 hours a day. That is $1.92 an hour.
When the season is low and schools are not busy, the licensed teachers are out of jobs.
Lost City Adventures has come up with a plan saving YOU, the student, several dollars & helping the local teachers work.
Our Spanish School program is unique because the teacher comes to us (you, if you're staying with us) and the best part- you pay the teacher directly. At 40Q an hour ($5.11), you get the same teachers who are contracted by the Spanish schools but you pay less and they get paid what they are worth. For 20hours a week the cost is $102.
We are currently in the process of creating a special Spanish School Package that includes Spanish lessons, accommodations, trips, & meals.
So if you're looking for Spanish lessons, contact us. Whether you stay with us or not, we can send you a private teacher who works around your schedule at 40Q an hour. The local teachers need the work.
