I would recommend Vamos Spanish Academy…
I would recommend Vamos Spanish Academy to beginners and more advanced Spanish speakers alike. My Spanish level is around C1 (low advanced) so I came to the school to improve my fluency and learn the specifics of Argentine 'castellano.' I was not disappointed. Our teacher, Jessica was fantastic, the learning materials were of good quality and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The school does a good job of fostering camaraderie among the students (most of the ones I met were from the U.S., Australia or Western European countries) through (optional) planned activities and coffee breaks. Vamos moved into a new building on October 14, 2019 which is a major upgrade over the previous location and easily accessible by public transport. I don't have much substantive criticism to add. I was in a very small class with no turnover in students or teachers, but there seemed to be more turnover at the lower levels due to the travelers who were just passing through Argentina and wanted a quick boost to their Spanish level. However, it seemed like Vamos tries hard to keep students with the same teachers for the duration of their stay. Overall, language classes like these are what you put into it. If you come to class alert (not always easy given how late nightlife in BA goes) and are practicing Spanish outside of the class (difficult if you're surrounded by other English-speaking students and tourists all the time), then you'll probably see significant improvement. If not, then at least you'll probably still have a good time!
