Hi there!

My name is Susana and I’m the Director of Studies here at AIL Madrid. I’d like to take a moment to personally tell you a little more about our GCSE, A-Level, and Scottish Higher exam preparation programs, which have been carefully designed by our expert team to help students pass their exams with flying colors.

For all those who are starting to feel overwhelmed by the masses of Spanish exam revision for your upcoming exams, fear no more. AIL Madrid, a prestigious Cervantes Institute accredited Spanish language School offers invaluable 1 and 2 week Spanish GCSE, A-Level and Scottish Higher Spanish Revision Courses in Madrid that will allow you to take the exam feeling well-prepared and confident! The course program has been specially designed for pupils currently revising for their GCSE, A-level and Scottish Higher exam in accordance with the syllabus and exam content of the AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC, CCEA and SQA examination boards. During the course you will thoroughly revise the Spanish skills you need to pass your Spanish GCSE, A-level or Scottish Higher exam as well as raising your general level of Spanish. You will be surprised by how fast you progress and master exam techniques! For students looking to make rapid progress, we highly suggest adding 5 to 10 private classes per week. This allows you to focus on and improve weak areas, as well as to personalize content and review material from the group class.

- AIL Madrid GCSE, A-Level and Scottish Higher Spanish Revision Courses are comprised of five components:
  
  1.1 Structured group learning in interactive Spanish classes
  
  20 general Spanish classes per week in small, well-organized groups.
  
  1.2. Private tuition
  
  5 or 10 private lessons per week, which will allow you to:
  - Develop specific exam skills such as: presenting a topic, writing a letter, essay layouts, narratives, summarising, etc.
  - Go through past examination papers in order to improve answering style and technique
  - Practice the 4 linguistic skills tested during the exam: speaking, reading, writing and listening.
  - Revise grammar and widen your range of vocabulary
  - Work in detail on the topic that you need to prepare for your GCSE/A-level/Scottish Higher Exam.
- Our preparation courses for the Spanish GCSE, A-Level and Scottish Higher exam are taught by highly qualified, experienced native Spanish teachers, who will share with you their in-depth knowledge of the demands made upon examination candidates and show you how to best approach the exam. You will feel both encouraged and motivated by the techniques our teachers use, as they explain even the most difficult language issues in a fun and enjoyable way, making every lesson memorable.
- Staying with a host family during your Spanish GCSE,A-Level and Scottish Higher Revision Course will give you an excellent opportunity not only to experience all the Spanish norms and customs, but also to immensely improve your Spanish as you pick up new colloquial phrases and sayings which you can take straight into your exams!
  
  You will find your Spanish host families to be very friendly and welcoming, and in addition to all the help they can give you with regards to the language, you will taste the culinary delights of the traditional Spanish meals prepared by your host family.
  
  All our families have been carefully selected for their warm atmosphere and good facilities, and all are regularly inspected to ensure that high accommodation standards are maintained.
  
  They are located within 10-30 minutes travelling distance of AIL Madrid, and all are in safe neighborhoods with good metro and bus connections.
  
  Prior to your arrival, we will ask you to fill out a preference questionnaire, to find a host family that matches your expectations.
  
  The accommodation included in the package price of the programme is a single room with full board (breakfast, packed lunch and dinner).
  
  Should you require a different type of accommodation, please get in contact with us. If 2 pupils come together, accommodation can be arranged in the same family or in two different families that live close by. Accommodation is available from Sunday to Saturday. Extra nights are available upon request. Subject to availability Curfew: Should you require a specific curfew to be put in place, please let us know so that we can inform the host family. Please note, for students aged 17 or under, host families are the only type of accommodation that we offer.

- Yes, parents can stay in host families with their children dependant on the family’s accommodation availability. It is important to note though that this may detract from the child’s learning curve, as they will most likely speak less Spanish with the host family than otherwise.
- The teacher will create a study plan according to the objectives of the student and what areas of weakness they might have in Spanish. The more information they have about the students’ Spanish level the better, so that the teacher can plan to improve these areas. Some students opt for general GCSE/A Level revision, covering all the key areas (reading , listening, speaking, writing), while others prefer to focus on a specific area.
- Yes, the course can be booked without accommodation included. For pricing, please consult with our Student Care Team
- AIL host families are all in central Madrid with a maximum of a 30 minutes commute by public transport, though many are much closer to the academy.
- The priority when deciding your children’s placement will be their level of Spanish, thus ensuring they get the most out of their classes. With 15-25 groups at all levels running year round, it is very likely we will have two groups available at the same time even if the students are different levels, though it is not something we can guarantee 100%. Having said this, as long as the course is booked in advance and this request is made on booking, this arrangement can be made in the vast majority of cases. If the students have the same level of Spanish, they should be in the same class anyway.
- Yes! In checkout, just tick the box for airport transfer, and we can both pick up and drop off your child (and you).
- When selecting their housing, students can choose from a single or double room. The price will then include utilities (gas, light, water), WIFI, and a landline to receive and make calls within Spain. It also includes towels, sheets, basic cleaning products, and a weekly cleaning service in shared living spaces.
