Tandem® Foundation

The Tandem®-Foundation is the academic arm of the schools, dedicated to investigation methodology and training service. All schools work with the Tandem method developed by the Tandem Foundation, which consists in counting on a native partner, the so-called tandem, to work out the classroom theory in a day-to-day and personal interaction.

Individual Tandem

As a member of TANDEM® International  we work with the copyright protected Tandem® method! If you are in Santiago for at least four weeks we may be able to arrange for you to meet a Chilean person on a regular basis for informal conversational practice. Your "Tandem" will teach you Spanish and you will teach him or her at the same time your own language. This is the most pleasant and efficient way to pick up improve and enjoy the Spanish language, having a close contact to the Chilean people and culture. If you are interested please ask for a questionaire. 

Tandem Interchange in group

Every thursday from 7.00 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. we arrange a group tandem activity, guided by two of our teachers where we mix up the English learners with the Spanish students of the school. They share 90 minutes practising English and Spanish together. This can be an opportunity to get in touch with the method and is free of charge for all of our students.

Tandem® Community

The Tandem® Community is the playground where you can communicate with your language exchange partners or apply what you have learned in the classroom in real conversations. You can take part in discussions or write articles about the themes you're interested in, talk with others in chat rooms or send them private messages, win a free language course in any of the Tandem® Schools, ask language questions, help others to know more about your language and culture. to be brief, "move your words", and remember that, as in every community, what you get is what you give...
