Recommended partner · Spanish in Cádiz · Andalusia
Cádiz combines a small, walkable city with the warmth of Andalusian daily life. Spanish in Cadiz offers a flexible one-to-one formula and a light morning module that fit around childcare, so an au pair can learn Spanish without giving up the family week.
Information from the school. Details checked on 4 November 2026.
Spanish in Cadiz is accredited by the Instituto Cervantes and is a member of FEDELE and Español en Andalucía. It teaches in the centre of Cádiz, in a city where the school, the cathedral and the beach are all within walking distance.
After class, the city is yours to share with the children: the cathedral and its domes, the beach at La Caleta, a walk along the seafront at Santa María del Mar, or the view from the Torre Tavira.
Accreditations and exam centres
The flexible one-to-one formula is the most adaptable for an au pair. The morning module is the lightest group option. The general and intensive courses take the whole morning: they only fit when the children are at school or childcare is covered.
Recommended course
In yellow: the formula we suggest first. Prices and times from the school, checked on 4 November 2026. The general and intensive courses are shown for completeness: their morning classes only fit if you have no childcare then.
Two examples of a 25-hour childcare week. In the first, you take a one-to-one lesson while the children are at school. In the second, you follow the light morning module from 09:45 to 11:30.
Two lessons a week, agreed with the school
Five short mornings, care before and after
Illustrative timetables: 5 hours of childcare a day over 5 days. Your hours are fixed with your host family in the placement agreement; Spanish rules cap au pair tasks at 5 hours a day, with a free day every week. The general and intensive courses take the whole morning and are not shown here: they only fit when the children are at school.
