This paper aims to analyze Language and Mathematics performance improvement when Interactive Groups are held at school. This study was developed applying a communicative methodology and gathered information through interviews, focus groups and data analysis. It provides evidence on how interactions with volunteers involved in the classroom foster the students´ educational success in the schools studied. Results, in line with similar studies, point out that holding Interactive Groups at school is linked to an academic achievement improvement for those groups and students involved. Evidence point out the relevant role of participation in the educative process. Interactions provided by volunteers´ involvement, their diversity and the intensity linked to this Successful Educational practice, are key elements for the students´ educational success and the improvement process.
