Like the reviewers above, I would highly recommend this course, especially if you are trying to organise your trip from another country, before arriving in Mexico City. The pre-course contact and information, payment etc was very professional and prompt.
In addition, upon arrival, the course instructor was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding aspects of Mexican culture, the city, where to eat, accomodation, transport etc.
Content-wise, the course was very thorough. It was a lot of work in two weeks, with plenty of reading, project work and theory. But I would have been disappointed if it hadn’t been hard work, having paid the money, and having expected to come out of it confident that I could teach a class.
I found the thoery to be well balanced with class observation and teaching practice. The course was well structured and the accumulation of knowledge and practice allowed me to feel that I had what I needed by the end of it.
The resources, in particular some of the digital/online content, was excellent and I’m sure I’ll continue to use some of it as a reference when teaching.
Post-course (I’ve only finished in the last week), I have been given numerous contacts regarding work, and am receiving ongoing contact and assistance from the instructor.
Overall a highly positive experience.
Lots of new people in town, so a good time for a meet up for anyone interested.
We're thinking to go to the Franz Mayer Museum, near metros Hidalgo and Bellas Artes...easy to find.
