Summary:
First off, Aiola and ISE are the same school, and students are in the same classes. In my first week two of us were Ailola, and the second two students were ISE, it's all the same.
Eugenio and the staff are the absolute best! I did group classes for two weeks and a homestay in the student home run by Valeria. The house is a mix of local university students as well as international students studying Spanish. It was a great experience.
Not only are the lessons great, but the activities and trips throughout the week are also a lot of fun. Quito is a really cool city with plenty to do, and the day trips in and out of the city make the whole experience even better.
This school is set up very well. It's a great place to learn Spanish, and about Ecuadorian culture.
They also have a great travel network if you'd like to see it do anything while you're in Ecuador.

Summary:
My husband and I spent 4 weeks studying Spanish st Ailola Quito. We took both private and group classes, my husband was a complete beginner and I had been studying Spanish for a few years. In both the group classes and the private classes the instruction was at a good pace and very through, the private classes were highly personalization. Both our teachers were exceptional. The classes were lively and very focused on conversation. I had a few years of studying Spanish, and Roberto, my instructor, identified the specific areas that I needed improvement with grammar and pronunciation and tailored the curriculum to fit my needs. My husband’s instructor, Adrianna did an excellent job relating the class material to daily life in Ecuador, so the classes very about not only learning Spanish, but learning about life in Ecuador and Ecuadorian culture. The school helped to organize tours, and when circumstances prevented our taking a planned tour, they worked with the operators to get an refund. They recommended and reserved, Mindo Coffee Lodge and Spa for a visit to Mindo, the hotel was lovely. The Airbnb they recommended for our stay, Old Towne Quito Suites, was also wonderful. I highly recommend this experience in Quito
