Student Comments

Studying at Ixchel Spanish School was a great experience. In one week I covered as much Spanish as I did in two years in school. My teacher was completely in touch with my needs as a student. She was able to judge my progress and adjust lessons accordingly. The individual attention I received was invaluable.

  • medical equipment
  • taking a patient's medical history
  • exams and diagnostics
