Student information

Discover our new facilities: a beautiful historical building in the noble old town of Salamanca, at the heart of the university area. Completely remodeled and refurbished, and equipped with the latest audiovisual technologies, as well as heating and air conditioning. Simply spectacular!

Our excellent academic program and remarkable teachers, highly qualified and experienced, make us an Instituto Cervantes Accredited Center. We offer a wide range of immersion programs for students of all levels of Spanish. Thanks to our agreement with the Pontifical University of Salamanca, students doing a Spanish course at Tía Tula can gain European University Credits ECTS that can be transferred to their university of origin (minimum 50 class hours). Furthermore, we have recently been recognized as a DELE Examination Center, so students can prepare and do the official certificate of the Spanish language with us.

Salamanca is known as the City of Spanish for many reasons. First of all, it is located in the province of Castilla, the cradle of the original Spanish. It also has one of the oldest universities in Europe, specializing in Arts and Languages. The result is that the most correct and purest Spanish is spoken in Salamanca, attracting thousands of students each year to the city, that either come to learn or perfect their Spanish. Due to its small size, its wonderful quality of life, and its university atmosphere, Salamanca is the ideal place to study Spanish!

Zamanımı çok verimli bir şekilde geçirdiğimi belirtebilirim. Şehir olarak nispeten küçük bir şehir ve bulunduğu bölge açısından hem İspanya tarihi hem de dili bakımından önemli bir yer. Okul olarak da Tia Tula'yı seçmemin sebebi bir okul zinciri olmamasıydı ve bu seçimimden son derece memnun kaldım. Çünkü bütün öğrencilerle daha samimi ilişkiler kuruluyor. Bireysel olarak öğretmenlerden de okuldan da son derece memnun kaldım.

My friend recommended this nice school and said he met people he will never forget in his life. When I arrived to the school I never felt away from home starting with the reception I received till the farewell that I got. About studying they have their way to mix hard studying and having a good time as well doing it, and every day they have an activity program that make you always engage with other student and the Spanish culture like “playing pool, going around the city eating Tapas….. etc.”

Hi my name is Mark. I am from Australia and I have been living in Salamanca and studying at Tia Tula for a few months now. Before coming to live in Spain I knew very little about Salamanca and even less about Tia Tula. Since arriving here I have been pleasently suprised. Firstly the town of Salamanca is one of the oldest cities in Spain and is also one of the most beautiful. I have travelled around the world and for me Salamanca is close to being Number One for the most beautiful and culturally rich cities I have visited. The inner city of Salamanca bases itself around the Amazing Plaza Mayor which sits in the centre of the city which has many shops, bars and restuarants around. It is my favourite part of the day when I get to walk through this amazing square and ravage in its beauty whilst of course stopping for some amazing tapas somewhere ;). As for Tia Tula, well there is almost NOTHING I can fault about the school. Starting from the perfect location of the school in the old town of Salamanca, to it's Fantastic Administration staff and of course the students. From Day 1 arriving at the school, you feel welcomed and wanted. The staff at the school go well and beyond the call of duty to help you. The teachers are amazing and try their best to catar for each students individual needs. The school also offers "Optional Activities" everyday to help you improve your Spanish with talking to your fellow peers and the locals whilst also being a good platform for you to socialise and make some new friends. I have been very happy with my time here at Tia Tula in Salamanca. I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning Spanish regardless of your level to come here to study. Safe Travels, Mark

How we collect reviews: «Verified booking» means we e-mailed the student who booked when the course ended, so we know they took that course. «Invited by the school» or «by the agency» means the school or agency gave us the e-mail of one of its students and declared that they are a real student; we sent the invitation ourselves, but we did not see the booking. «Not verified» marks older LanguageBookings reviews written without a booking check. We publish good and bad reviews alike: schools and agencies cannot delete or hide them, they can only reply. We hide only insults and personal data.

How do I book a language course / accommodation?

Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.

You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).

After the Accommodation, you have another option, that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.

Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay with credit card, a PayPal account or, for most countries, bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price. The rest of the money will not have to be paid until 15 days before your course starts. In any case, you will be receiving emails about your deposit payments; and also, reminders about the rest of the money when it needs to be paid.

What are the benefits of booking through LanguageBookings.com?

Our discount: When the school offers it, you get the LanguageBookings discount and pay less than the school's own price list. You will see it on the school and course pages.

Help in your language: We answer your questions in your language, before and after you book.

We deal with the school for you: If the price, dates or accommodation change, we sort it out with the school on your behalf.

Book with a deposit only: The deposit is part of the course price, not an extra charge. If you pay by card, it is only authorised when you book and charged once the school confirms your place. If the school cannot confirm it, you are not charged, or the deposit is refunded in full.

When do the courses start?

The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.

You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.

Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.

How do I know if a place is available?

You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.
