WE
ARE
SíC!
Your Spanish school is Cool, really! Originally this project was started by an improbable couple, a Spanish cabin crew and an Ukranian politician, both staunch positivists and convinced that any actions which can improve the world, even if it is just a little, are worth the effort. SíC was created with three main fundamental signs of identity, these are the reasons why we decided to start a school in the first place and the pillars of our daily work:
Anastasiia has travelled the world with the goal of enjoying every single moment of her trips, and constantly succeeds in doing so. She values human relations the most and is a specialist reading people and finding their value. She masters 4 languages, can speak another 4 properly and is still not enough for her! Definetly a people person, she will make you feel unique.
Guillermo has travelled arround the world, often with just a backpack (or a trolley) and the curiosity of the kid who is seeing something for the first time. Passionate about history and sciences, he is always looking for the story behind the culture and traditions of the people in places he visits. He speaks fluently 5 different languages and worked as a Spanish and English teacher for several years of his life.
- Quality Education: We have extensive experience learning languages and know how to apply a good learning system. Our immersive courses are full of interactive materials related to the experiences our students live, its methodology is mainly conversational, with great emphasis on phonetics and adaptation of the ear to the language, without forgetting both the written and grammatical components. We have a strong feeling of complicity to supply those families deeply committed to the education of their children, in the field of emotions, feelings, and moral values. We have a team of duly qualified native and bilingual monitors. Friendly, responsible, disciplined, and committed to education that every day help us improve the quality of our services in the field of language education as well as quality entertainment.
- Idylic Locations: An effective learning program is the one that establishes strong interactions and promotes collaborative learning culture. This can be done by using the best way of encouraging group activities. Introduction of non-competitive games and activities break down the cliques within a learning environment. This also assists the new and shy students to have a sense of belonging. The location in which the activities take place is of capital importance to develop this safe learning environment and keep the student interested, motivated and open minded. Safety, companionship and respect for nature are among the values that we are able to promote in places like Santander. Its natural beauty and endless activities possibilities, also help!
- Hospitality: Through our trips we have been very lucky to meet many people with different stories and cultures. Although we usually travelled to discover new places and enjoy the activities planned, what is always most rewarding and we will forever remember is our memories with the people we found on our way. Those people so symilar and yet so different who were kind to us with no reason, who were helping and guiding us without expecting anything in return. This were also the moments in which we learnt and appreciated our surroundings the most and that is why we are providing with the same atmosphere to our students. Just like any person, students also have some psychological needs for order and security, love and belonging, competence and personal power, freedom and even fun. It is important to meet these needs at all times and to help learners progress and be taught with a positive attitude.
