Our school is located in the heart of Madrid, in a 19th-century mansion with exceptional architectural features. Very close to the most important museums in Madrid, in the “Barrio de las Letras”, icon of the Spanish culture. Definitely, a great place to learn Spanish. It’s worth a visit. Navigate through Google maps inside this outstanding building and feel the athmosphere that will immerse you in Tandem’s world.
The word TANDEM implies a duality: two languages, two people, two cultures, two learning experiences, two lives. Our International school that was founded in 1982 in Madrid with the symbol of a bicycle has proved to be a marvellous vehicle for exchange, contact, dialogue, work, discussion and fun.
In 1982 the Goethe-Institut in Madrid experienced enormous growth in terms of the number of students and people interested in the German language and culture. As a result, the TANDEM courses were created based on an idea by Jürgen Wolff, whereby a group of Spaniards and Germans would meet to learn together on their own. At the time, it was a revolutionary approach to the traditional student/teacher relationship.
A few years later we decided to offer Spanish courses as well, in order to create a tandem allowing foreign students to learn Spanish together with Spaniards learning German and English, and give them unique personal and didatic experiences.
