At Instituto Jovel, we have been teaching Spanish to students from all over the world since 1993. We pride ourselves on our friendly and relaxed study atmosphere, and do our best to make your time with us as fun as it is profitable. All of our teachers are specially trained second language teachers, all Mexicans, but they all also speak fluent English, necessary sometimes to explain some concepts.

We offer one-on-one Spanish instruction and group instruction. Our Spanish classes are set up to accommodate individual learning styles, personal interests and preferences. All of our teachers are specially trained second language teachers, all Mexicans, but they all also speak fluent English, necessary sometimes to explain some concepts. Some of our students would like to learn �survival Spanish� for their travels, other would like to study the language in all its complexities, others need their Spanish as bilingual teachers, physicians or other professions.

Our Location: San Cristobal de las Casas lies in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, high in the mountains, surrounded by pine forests. With its cobblestone streets and its red-tile roofs, San Cristobal is a mix of 16th century, Spanish influences and a vivid, colorful indigenous culture. So you'll find beautiful churches, cathedrals and buildings, but also the largest indigenous market in northern America, where the indigenous people from surrounding villages come daily in colorful, traditional clothing to sell their fruits, vegetables and crafts.
