We want our students to feel at home.

What kind of people choose courses at TILDE?

Our students come from many different countries from all over the world. Some might come to us taking some time out of their professional lives during a sabbatical year, others come for professional reasons, for a holiday or even as part of a change in their careers. What is certain is that they choose our courses because studying among motivated adults is the ideal way to learn. Our clients are usually experienced travelers, very open to learning and sharing experiences.

In the very center of Madrid

Tilde Madrid is situated is in the Literary Quarter (Bario de las Letras), one of the areas with a longest history in Madrid where, in the XVI and XVII Century many of the most famous writers of the so-called “Siglo de Oro” lived. Its streets, squares and hidden corners inspired writers such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina and Quevedo.

With its famous night-life, and three internationally art museums, there is much to see in this wonderful city.
The students, accompanied by one of our team, are invited to take part of our activities either within, or outside the school. It might be an excursion to one of the museums or to one of the many points of cultural interest in the city; there may be a lecture on a social, political, cultural or gastronomic theme; an afternoon of Hispanic film; or the visit of a professional who comes to our center to discuss with our students.…
