HYLAND, language centre

We are located in the heart of the elegant Salamanca district, next to Colón (Columbus) Square, in the centre of Madrid. The school was founded in 1985 by David Garner, who has been working in language teaching in Spain since 1972, and was Director and Associate of the International House World Organisation from 1983 to 2003.

Hyland Language Centre is at the cutting edge of language teaching methodology - members of our staff and ex-staff having written some of the best-known course books and materials - and only employs native, highly qualified, experienced teachers who undergo continual in-service training. Although we teach some 2,000 students a year and some 50 teachers work for us, we have managed to remain true to our philosophy of "big but little" and a friendly, personal atmosphere reigns at all levels.

Apart from the courses in the school, we teach in companies and public authorities, offer extracurricular classes in junior and secondary schools, and organise language courses abroad and by internet.
