TLALOC was founded by an experienced teacher, who after working in several schools within the city, found out the good and bad sides of such schools, and is now taking what he has learned to make the best possible school.

This teacher has seen what works and what doesn't. Therefore, he’s not afraid to make the necessary changes in order to have a better school among the others. This teacher also got tired of being underpaid by the other big Spanish institutes within Cuernavaca City that charge a lot of money to the foreign students but pay unfair low wages to the native Spanish teachers who do most of the teaching and the hard work (Mexican Spanish teachers get paid by these schools between $2.50 USD and $3.50 USD per hour) when most of the schools charge between $150.00 USD and $220.00 USD per week & per person to the foreign students + $100.00 or more USD for the registration fee per student. Unfortunately no one ever complains about it.

These schools not only pay low salaries, but they neither provide the teachers with social security services as demanded by the Mexican law, nor other services that are a basic need for every employee, e.g. If any teacher gets sick and is absent at any time, he/she will get that day deducted from his/her paycheck for not showing up to work. Besides, the teacher will have to pay a private doctor & medicine if needed. Most of the Mexican Spanish teachers are afraid to complain because they think it will be hard for them to get another job if they get fired for complaining. On the other hand, the families who provide the rooms for the students are also often cheated by these schools because sometimes the families get paid real low or don't get paid at all, What this teacher is actually trying to do is offer the same or better services to the foreign students by charging them a lot less money. For these and many other reasons TLALOC was created in order to provide the foreign students with the proper attention they deserve and to pay the Mexican teachers a fair salary (Besides paying a fair salary to each teacher, we want to provide them with the compensations required by law!) Go ahead and check us out. We promise you won't regret it!

During the Summer time it rains at night (from late May until late September) in Cuernavaca, and since there are a lot of people who come during this season from abroad. It has been decided to call the “Instituto de Idiomas e Intercambio Cultural TLALOC” after the God of Rain.

TLALOC was the Aztec rain god
His name means: He Who Makes Things Sprout.

TLALOC was the eighth ruler of the days and the ninth lord of the nights.

TLALOC was pictured as a man wearing a net of clouds, a crown of heron feathers, foam sandals and
carrying rattles to make thunder.

TLALOC lived in a place the Aztecs called Tlalocan. He lived there with his companion, Chalchiuhtlicue (She Who Wears a Jade Skirt), also called Matlalcueye (She Who Wears a Green Skirt), the goddess of freshwater lakes and streams. Tlalocan was also the place where all people who had drowned 'lived'. Part of The Teocalli (Great Temple) at Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, was dedicated to TLALOC, and was painted in white and blue. TLALOC was greatly feared. He could send out the rain or provoke drought and hunger. He hurled lightning upon the earth and unleashed the devastating hurricanes.  It was believed that he could send down to the earth different kinds of rain which would help crops grow or destroy them. Certain illnesses, such as dropsy, leprosy, and rheumatism, were said to be caused by TLALOC.
