BEST REVIEW
OF THE MONTH
Can I give the school a 5 plus rating?
“Absolutely a great school for learning Spanish. The instructors are excellent. Many classes include going out into the city with your instructor and speaking and interacting with people through interviews. A really tremendous way to learn, which reinforces classroom exercises. In addition, the staff at the school treat you like family”.
READY?
Whee is amazing, and you will never regret studying with us.

5 stars don't seem enough
I’ve virtually nothing negative to complain about.
Everyone at Whee has been incredibly friendly, helpful and nice. They really made learning Spanish fun and simple for me.
I believe they genuinely care about their students and their experience, so whenever I couldn’t attend a full week, they made everything possible. With daily evaluation and small classes, they really focus on the needs of the individual student.
So if you’re looking for gorgeous classes, meeting interesting people from around the globe and learning Spanish online – I cannot recommend Whee enough.
And I imagine that the classes in Bogotá have a really cool vibe too. Haven’t had the chance to try that out, though. But I heard there’s supposed to be free coffee, so is there anything else you can wish for? I don’t think so.
Muchísimas gracias al equipo de Whee. Aprendí tanto de español y de la cultura colombiana. ¡Ustedes son geniales!
Espero que nos veamos otra vez.
Hasta pronto,
Kester
Fast Learning and Awesome Professors, Best part of my 2020
Long review, but I love Whee 🙂
I studied Spanish with Whee online for about 15 months starting April 2020. A month into the pandemic I was incredibly bored after work and saw an ad on Instagram for Whee and figured why not give it a try since I had always wanted to be fluent! I took several years of Spanish in high school and college but I have never gotten even close to the level I was at a few months in. I can now have full conversations with native speakers! It can be a big time commitment but it was more than worth it for me and Whee offers different options! I took 10hours of class per week when I got home from work. At first I was not looking forward to having a different professor every couple weeks, but it ended up being one of my favorite things about Whee. I had classes with over 10 different professors and students from 5 different countries. I learned so much about South America, other countries, and especially Colombia. The professors also take the time to create lessons using topics you are interested in which was really cool!
Thank you to all my professors at Whee for teaching me so much and being my pandemic family <3 I cannot wait to visit Colombia and meet y'all in person.
P.S. I promise I am still practicing!
I can’t say enough positive things…
I can’t say enough positive things about Whee. In the 7 months I spent in online classes, my Spanish has improved drastically and teachers and fellow students have turned into friends. Teachers at Whee are incredibly committed to meeting each students’ needs and tailor classes in order to do so. My favorite thing has been how fun the classes are. So much learning takes place through games and conversation that feels more like your talking to friends than doing hard work. 10/10 recommend!
Amazing classes and amazing teachers
I loved taking online classes at Whee institute. I would highly recommend it. All the teachers I had (Lorena, Dayhana y Camilo) were so dedicated and passionate about teaching and the classes were always fun, engaging, and had a great atmosphere. I learnt so much!! Muchas Gracias
You'll learn to speak Spanish AND fall in love with Colombia
The WHEE curriculum and approach to teaching Spanish is just amazing! From the start, you learn USEFUL Spanish as well as the grammar and nuances of the language. Al mismo tiempo, WHEE immerses you (yes, even remotely) in Colombian culture, life, food, current events, history and geography. Each profesor has amazing academic credentials and teaching experience as well as so much patience because they are really invested in helping each student learn and learn and learn! I rarely write reviews so this is an exception because WHEE is exceptional.
Private class/clase privada
Tuve una clase con una maestra que fue increíble—muy paciente, muy interesante, muy amable. Nos encontramos una vez por semana por un año. Aprendí mucho mucho mucho sobre la cultura de Colombia, los escritores de Latinoamérica, las noticias, las políticas, el tiempo.
Por supuesto toma una clase con Whee!!!
Ojalá que pueda tomar una clase allí en vivo, es la única razón que pausé mi clase.
(Todos errores en este revista son mis culpas!)
Relaxed atmosphere, yet effective teaching
I found the Whee institute classes fun and effective. The teachers I had were personable and innovative. They were good at providing feedback and guiding me according to my strengths and weaknesses. I enjoyed my sessions very much and was happy about my progress.
Amazing classes
I really enjoyed my Spanish classes with WHEE and their teachers. Everyone was friendly and patient. Now I am more comfortable speaking Spanish. Would definitely recommend whee institute to my friends and family!
I would recommend Whee
I really enjoyed the diversity of activities at Whee! It’s fun to go from something like role plays interviewing for jobs to decorating a virtual Christmas tree! I will hopefully do another class when I have time off or maybe in person someday soon!
Great lessons by great people
I can’t say enough good things about Whee. Great people and you’ll learn a lot very quickly.

Our Story
MARCH 2014
Sebas (our founder) loves Colombia, and he wanted more people to see that we have a really good country and why he is so proud of it. he also wanted to create a company with the objective of making the world a better place and that can be related with his passion of meeting new people and new cultures. He quited his job as a business consultant and rented a house. That’s the origin of Whee Institute.
DECEMBER 2014
Not being happy with making money out of education, Sebas decided to create Whee Institute but it should be a non-profit focused on creating the perfect school
JANUARY 2015
Whee institute officially started with the right education approach. Andy and Luzia from Germany decided in trusting us!

We had to move to a new place beacause of the number of students we had. The new neighborhood is amazing!
