Overview

TANDEM Madrid began as a language-teaching cooperative in 1982 and teaches at Calle Marqués de Cubas 8 in central Madrid. The school occupies a small palace and offers cultural activities alongside Spanish courses. Its location suits learners who want to practise Spanish between lessons while exploring the centre. The school offers both regular intensive study and combined group-and-individual tuition, so students can choose how much personal feedback they want during a short stay. The intensive timetable is designed around morning lessons, leaving afternoons for the city’s museums and exhibitions. TANDEM also offers separate programmes built around subjects such as small Madrid museums and Spanish food. Those options can be useful for students who prefer a defined cultural focus alongside language study. Ask for the calendar for the weeks you will be in Madrid and check whether your chosen activities belong to the standard course or a separately priced programme.

Courses

The intensive course lists 20 core lessons of 45 minutes, or 15 hours per week, at levels A1–C1. The price sheet describes two additional conversation lessons from A2, making 22 lessons for eligible students. The minimum booking is one week, with Monday starts. Ask for the timetable and conversation arrangements at your assigned level. A combined course adds individual tuition on top of the core group lessons. The school’s intensive-course shop describes morning teaching. Confirm whether the group and any conversation sessions share the same time block.

Fees

The official 2026 price list gives €860 for four weeks of Intensive Spanish, plus €50 registration, for a study subtotal of €910. Housing, travel and insurance are separate. Request an itemised quote for 28 nights, including the room, meal plan and any transfer or mandatory charges. The school’s online room listing does not establish the 28-night price. The €910 estimate uses the four-week course line as published and counts the registration fee once. The same course page lists six weeks at €1,230 in tuition, or €1,280 with the same registration charge if applicable. A learner extending beyond four weeks should ask which duration tier applies to the whole booking. The published 22-lesson schedule includes the conversation sessions available from A2, so confirm the teaching time at A1 when comparing the price. The standard course and the school’s themed packages have separate inclusions. Ask for tuition, lodging, any meal upgrade and transfers as separate invoice items.

Accommodation

The school offers host-family accommodation with meal options. The single room booking page lists half board as the base meal plan, with upgrades available. The school also lists residences and nearby hostels; request a price for the dates and ask which meals, bathroom and housekeeping are included. Compare the route to Marqués de Cubas and confirm the arrival procedure before paying. The host-family option and the nearby hostels serve different needs. A family booking can include a regular meal routine, whereas a hostel quote should specify whether it is a private or shared room and what meal service is available. Check the arrival date with the provider.
