How does the program work?
The program is designed to provide an «immersive» structure where you will have classes 5x/week for 1 hour. This provides consistency and overall a faster and cost effective approach to reaching Spanish fluency. You will meet daily with the same tutor through the Zoom platform. Every class is recorded and made available to study and review. All you need is a notebook and pen, no need to purchase any extra books!

When do you think I can start teaching/preaching in Spanish?
We have consistently helped our students from beginner level develop their Spanish skills within 6-8 months to start preaching and teaching. This ultimately depends on the work and effort put forth by each student with daily homework and recommended tips.
Can you show me an example of a typical class?
Yes, prior to starting the program we can meet and discuss in person your personal goals, level of Spanish, and personal learning style. Learning Spanish is much more than learning grammar, it’s learning how to listen and speak in real life situations.
Here is a typical class structure:
5-10 minutes: General conversation with real life scenarios
10 minutes: Review homework and make corrections
30 minutes: Lesson (Grammar Rules, Vocabulary, Speaking)
10 minutes: Review lesson and discuss homework
