Estudié inglés en este instituto durante años y anteriormente mi madre también lo había hecho. Siempre tuvo una excelente calidad educativa, las mejores experiencias recibí en este muy respetable instituto.
Estudie muchos años con la modalidad de estudiante voluntario o algo así se llamaba donde nos enseñaban futuros profesores. Fueron muy lindos cursos. E intensivos. Ojalá los sigan haciendo creo que con la pandemia no fueron más presenciales. Pero se aprende mucho.
Uno de los mejores institutos de inglés para prepararse para los exámenes de Cambridge. Además de que muchos de los profesores son hablantes nativos de inglés, brindan todas las herramientas necesarias para dar los exámenes. Asistí 6 años a este instituto y no me arrepiento de ninguno, mi nivel de inglés mejoró enormemente. Thank you for everything Fran, Heather, Alex and Martin.
I recently had the opportunity to study at IH, and it was truly a fantastic experience. The dedicated team of instructors at IH made learning English an engaging and enriching journey. The interactive classes, tailored curriculum, and supportive environment fostered not just language skills but also cultural understanding. The school's commitment to excellence shines through in its well-equipped facilities and diverse student community. IH not only focuses on language proficiency but also ensures a holistic educational experience. I highly recommend IH to anyone seeking a top-notch English language education.
El mejor lugar! Con gente maravillosa de todo el mundo. IH logra que te sientas como en casa y en familia con todo lo necesario para aprovechar al máximo tu potencial!
Thank you so much for teaching me the English I speak today!!
The children leave speaking and pronouncing very well; the system is unambiguous and slow, they progress little by little, but the result is positive.
A highly committed institute with wonderful people. It offers an excellent level of instruction and fantastic content delivery.

What we believe about teaching English.
Speaking from day one
Every class includes real conversation, not just grammar drills — confidence comes from using the language, not just studying it.
The CEFR as a guide, not a cage
You'll always know your level and what's next, but classes are built around what you actually need English for.
Small groups, real attention
Group sizes stay small enough that every student speaks, every class.
Test yourself
Quick questions on phrasal verbs and everyday usage.
