Great Spanish Teacher
I have known Pedro for several years now. I take Spanish lessons from him by Skype every morning that we are both free at 7:30 AM. It has been great, I now can conduct conversations with the natives and it is great fun.

I was recently in Panajachel, Guatemala. I took two days of Spanish lessons at Santa Cruz Sanish School, Pedro did more than improve my Spanish! He makes sure that you get to know the culture and the people as well as the language. We went to the nearby Nature Preserve and then to a village overlooking Lake Atitlan. All along the way, we worked on my Spanish and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. I have been to Panajachel a number of times, yet Pedro showed me things that I had not seen before. Pedro is a great teacher and person to be with. He works hard to make the most of your time with him. I would heartily recommend Pedro and his school for anyone wanting to learn not only Spanish but more of the remarkable people and places where it is spoken.
I am just returning from a week at Lake Atitlan very grateful for having found Santa Cruz Spanish School over the internet and for having trusted them to organize our vacation. I went with 2 kids--ages 7 and 9--who are in a bilingual elementary school. We all studied spanish with teachers from Santa Cruz Spanish School in the afternoons for about 3.5 hours/day. Obviously, as I was in a class of my own, I could not really observe my kids' classes, but my teacher was excellent. She listened to me when I told her what I most wanted to learn and she organized my classes accordingly. I believe my spanish improved 100% (although I was starting from a very low level).
I highly recommend working with Pedro and his Spanish School to anyone planning a visit to lake Atitlan!
My wife and I visited Lake Atitlan in Nov/Dec 2009 and each day we had Spanish lessons at Santa cruz Spanish School and Pedro arranged our tours. My wife felt that her Spanish teacher was the best she has had. I had my Spanish lesson too, and found my teacher very knowledgeable and accommodating for whatever focus I desired. Each afternoon we got arranged tours which were all excellent. If we return we would be sure to make contact with Pedro once again.
