Reviews from Teachers, Professors, and Professionals in the Field of Education
- “I studied Spanish at Ilisa for 4 months. It was without a doubt an immensely rewarding experience that vastly improved my Spanish and gave me the tools to achieve fluency while I travel through Central and South America. Thank you to the friendly office staff and amazing teachers at Ilisa that made my Spanish studies in Costa Rica a special and truly unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend Ilisa Language School to anyone. – David Cross, TESOL Teacher, South Africa, June 2017
- “I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Ilisa in Costa Rica for a four-day individual tutoring session and home-stay. My entire visit exceeded my expectations with a quality instructor, welcoming staff, comfortable campus, friendly and welcoming home-stay host arranged through the school.” read more… – Bob Cohen, Adult Educator, CA, 2017

I had a great time. The home stay with Ileana was also excellent.” – Ken Gobbo, Professor, Landmark College, Vermont, July 2017
- “You have a great school and a great program here. I learned a lot last year and even more this time. The professors are professional and friendly. The program is organized and effective in training. The director is very friendly and approachable. The Spanish director and the program specialist are very nice and it was easy to approach them. I love my homestay family. I would highly recommend ILISA to anyone interested in language immersion.” –Wes Jones, School Counselor, Lawrenceville, GA
- “I appreciated the seamless way the program is run. The staff seems completely on top of things and if I ever had a question regarding ANYTHING someone was always there to help me. I also thought the design of the school building was conducive to relaxation as well as studying. The program was better than I expected!” –Deirdre Higgins, Teacher, Los Angeles, CA
- “I’ve been here twice and enjoyed it both times. I will probably be back again. My Spanish has improved greatly.” –Keith Skroback, Teacher, Las Vegas, NV
- “I was very happy with all aspects of my time at ILISA. From the first e-mail I sent 3 weeks ago to present, I could not ask for more attention!” –Toni Allison, K-12 Teacher, Greeley, CO
- “Everyone at ILISA was very helpful. The program director did a great job placing us in classes. The program specialist helped in too many ways to mention. The office staff was always available. The director was always available at the breaks, and open for conversation. The professors are top notch. I learned a lot from them- about Spanish, of course, but also about Costa Rica and their lives… I consider some of them good friends now.” –Wendy Skinner, International Student Adviser, Boston, MA
