“I had taken some Spanish courses in school awhile ago and learned Spanish on my own through listening to Spanish music, watching novelas, and practicing with friends here and there. I was preparing for a few trips to Spanish speaking countries and wanted to brush up. I love the Medellin Colombian Spanish accent and came across Mister Fox Spanish School. My teacher, Isaac, was super friendly, accommodating, patient, and really helped me to review Spanish grammer and strengthen my pronunciation. Homework in between classes helped to reinforce online lessons. I became more confident in my speaking skills just after 3 weeks of classes. Isaac made classes fun and even incorporated conversational, colloquial Spanish into lessons to help prep for my upcoming trips. Highly recommend taking classes with Mister Fox Spanish School!”

“I loved the 3 weeks I spent at Mister Fox improving my Spanish through two hours of private classes daily with Santiago. I would highly recommend it. I was already at a more advanced level but still had plenty of areas to improve in. I felt like Santiago really quickly understood the level I was at and my common mistakes. He is an excellent teacher - patient, encouraging, and the classes are very engaging and fun. The two hours each morning went by quickly. We typically spent half of the class in conversation and half of the class learning a grammar concept + practicing through various exercises. Santiago brought interesting topics for us to discuss, which also helped me learn about Colombia. I felt like he explained grammar concepts more clearly than any teacher has explained them to me in the past. And on top of this, Juan José who leads Mister Fox is very nice and organizes regular cultural activities and language exchanges. I went on a tour he organized and had a great time meeting other students and learning more about the history of Medellín.”

“I took 10 hours of private Spanish lessons and learned at a very rapid pace. It was very affordable for me. I have a lot that I can take away from this and practice. I started not knowing much Spanish at all and ended with learning a lot and being able to converse in Spanish and conjugate verbs in different tenses. Julius Caesar it was a great instructor.”

“I cannot recommend Mr Fox highly enough. I stayed in Medellín for a month and originally only planned on taking classes for a couple of weeks but I enjoyed my lessons so much I ended up booking them right up until my last day! I was meant to have 1-1 classes with Julio and group classes with Santiago, but there weren't other students at the same level as me so I ended up having 1-1 classes with both tutors. Julio and Santiago are brilliant. My lessons with Julio were longer so we focused more on conversation and boosting my confidence. Our lessons were fun, interactive and we spoke about interesting topics (politics, religion etc.) which I really enjoyed. Santiago is fantastic at explaining grammatical concepts very clearly. I am B2 level so we primarily focused on the various forms of the subjunctive and weaving it in naturally when speaking. Some concepts clicked in a way they hadn't before so I'm very grateful. The school is ideally located, especially if you're staying in Laureles. I thought it offered good value for money and you also get a discount with Euforia dance school if you are a student here (which is a great bonus). The tutors and staff that work here are very kind and welcoming. Definitely give Mr Fox a try!”

“Mr. Fox is hands down one of the best schools I’ve experienced. I’ve been taking 1-on-1 classes with Julio Cesar for the past few weeks, and it’s been absolutely awesome. Julio is an amazing teacher - patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in your progress. You can really feel how much he cares about helping you improve. Beyond the classes, the school culture is what truly sets this place apart. Juan, the founder, is incredible and has built something really special. Everyone here (from the teachers to the students) is so kind, friendly, and welcoming. The school also hosts regular activities in and outside of the school, which makes it easy to connect with others and feel part of a community. I’m so glad I found this place and highly recommend it to anyone considering it.”

Our method

Our method: you learn by speaking

Grammar with a communicative approach: every structure becomes something you say, not a list to memorize. You leave each class using what you just learned.

Communicative grammar

We combine grammar, action and pragmatics: you learn the rules by using them in real situations, such as ordering a meal or asking for directions, not by reciting them.

Classes built around you

We assess your level and goals at the start. Your teacher then adapts the topics, the pace and the schedule to what you need.

Colombian culture built in

Local expressions, the cultural codes and the warmth you need to follow a conversation in Colombia.

Your path

From your first «¿Qué más?» to arguing about politics

Five CEFR levels and one question at each: what can you do now? Pick a level and see where it takes you.

A1Survive

Two weeks in, you stop pointing at menus. The basics, learned by using them out loud.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

How does the free trial class work?

A 30 to 45 minute class with no commitment, online or in person: a native teacher gets you talking, assesses your real level and sets goals with you, including which plan fits you best. Book it on the "Trial class" page or on WhatsApp.

I do not know my level. Where do I start?

Take the free online level test: about 15 minutes, with only your email, for your CEFR level (A1–C1) and a course recommendation. A teacher then confirms it live in your free trial class.

How does the student visa process work?

You choose your Visa Program (80 to 160 hours per level), pay the deposit and we issue your official acceptance letter. You then file the type V application with the Colombian authorities, whose response times we do not control, and we guide you through the process. The optional lawyer service above can handle it for you.

What payment methods do you accept?

Online in pesos, securely through Wompi: credit or debit card, PSE, Nequi, Bancolombia and Daviplata. You can also pay at any of our three campuses, in cash or by card.

Can I cancel or reschedule a class?

Yes. On flexible plans, private and online classes can be rescheduled with 24 hours notice, from your student portal or on WhatsApp, and you keep the hour; on intensive plans, rescheduling goes through the team. Flexible packages stay valid for 6 months, so if work or travel gets in the way, your plan waits for you. The full cancellation and refund policy is in the Legal section.

What is the difference between online and in-person classes?

None in quality: same native teachers, same method, same prices on flexible plans. Online classes are live, not recordings; in person you add the life of the campus. Many students start online from home and continue in person once they arrive in Colombia.

How do I access the coworking space?

The coworking room is at our Medellín campus (Laureles), open Monday to Friday. Book online: a desk for $ 6.000/hour or $ 33.000/day, or the whole room for $ 20.000/hour. Four desks, wifi and coffee, and a good place to work remotely while practicing your Spanish.
