Our Students

Students who choose Ollin Tlahtoalli come to Oaxaca with a desire to improve their Spanish skills while truly experiencing Oaxacan culture. Our students come from different backgrounds and with different needs, which is why we pay close attention to content and teaching methods, resulting in learning experiences that are meaningful and fun. Our students received personalized attention and soon become part of the Ollin Tlahtoalli family.

International Education

Ollin Center has developed and implemented international education programs in collaboration with universities mainly in the U.S. and Canada.  These programs cover a diverse range of topics, including language and culture, teacher education, food sovereignty, migration, and Latin American studies. Ollin Tlahtoalli has worked with faculty from various universities to create international education programs for students in different areas and fields.


"The manner in which the teachers share with students who are learning Spanish is quite simply highly positive. Teachers are open to queries, share knowledge, and make the experience of learning/improving Spanish highly enjoyable. I would recommend their language course"

Oaxacan Culture

Through the different educational programs planned and implemented by Ollin Center, participants find opportunities not only to improve their Spanish and enhance their understanding of the Oaxacan cultures, they can also learn about Mexican education systems, teach in Oaxacan schools, interact with local leaders and community members while learning about issues that continue to impact our societies. If you are interested in starting an international education program with your students or colleagues, we have the experience and tools to help you in this process.
