Getting Started
What type of lessons do you offer?
We offer private Spanish and English lessons in three formats: 1-on-1, semi-private, and group conversations.
What are the advantage of private lessons?
Imagine being in a 10 person class, with other students whose levels and abilities may vary. The teacher has to be sure that everyone participates, which means you have to wait your turn... Now imagine a face-to-face conversation with your teacher, where you ask questions that are directly relevant to your life, your interests, your work, the latest Hollywood movies.... Which would you choose?
With private lesson, your teacher focuses exclusively on your level, ability, and specific needs so no time is wasted. You have the teacher's total attention and he/she will ensure that your course content is tailored to your exact requirements. Learn at your own pace. If it's too fast, slow down! Too slow? Speed up!
How does it work?
We will assess your Spanish or English level and ask you some basic details such as: when you would like to start, which location is best for you, which hours and days you are available, what are your learning goals and objectives. Based on your answers, we will find a suitable instructor for you. Your instructor will plan your lesson according to your requirements, whether at our office or your location.
What levels do you teach?
We teach all Spanish and English levels. Also we offer Conversation and Accent reduction.
Do you follow a methodology?
We customize lessons and at the same time follow a proven international and official methodology to teach Spanish and English, you can see this structure in the levels we offer:
How do I know what level I am?
We will ask you a few questions when you complete the student form, then we will pass that information to your tutor. The first lesson allows the teacher the opportunity to confirm your level in all four skills (speaking, grammar, writing, and comprehension) and to tailor future lessons to your exact needs.
What if the level of the class is too high or too low?
Your instructor will be always aware if the contents of the class match your Spanish / English level. You may always discuss your level concerns and the class material with your teacher.
