Private Class Program
While group classes are our bread and butter, we also know they aren’t for every student. Our teachers can teach any level and adapt their approach no matter the student’s particular learning style.
How it works?
In our private classes, teachers will work with students to make sure the classes are tailored to the students abilities, interests and needs. Our teachers use a communicative method of instruction that places importance on conversation, discussion and interaction between students and teachers, while strengthening all aspects of Spanish learning: speaking, listening, reading and writing. If you class lasts more than 2 hours, we often use two teachers for the class, so that students can practice listening to other speakers and not just get used to one teacher.
While other programs offer full days (40 hours a week) of private classes for “Intensive study” we have found that students retain more, and engage more fully with more limited private classes that then engage students in other contexts throughout the rest of the day. We can recommend art workshops, museums, and other activities to the students along with our Immersive Group Activities to help supplement Spanish immersion and practice.

We are currently offering a mixed program of one-on-one private classes, supplemented by group activities that include city tours, workshops, and intercambios that are designed to teach Spanish through immersive activities.
