People learn in different ways. Some need the visual part, others need to take notes. There are students that need to hear the lesson in order to absorb it. For many, the combination of these three ways works better in order to retain information.

The advantage of online learning is that it allows you to use a learning method that really works for you.

A one-on-one experience has a number of benefits.

  • The instruction is tailored for your own needs and pace.
  • Allows you to achieve fast results.
  • You have a tutor dedicated to helping you and to answer your question.
  • You may develop a deeper and at the same time a wider understanding of the different subjects.
  • It helps you boost your confidence and feel more comfortable with what you are learning.
  • Allows you to have real time conversations and dialogs.
  • Each experience is an opportunity to feel empowered!
Student-oriented approach
Customized learning plans based on your needs & goals!

Considering your needs and knowledge I implement different teaching methods suitable for your best way of learning.

My classes are fun and entertaining; I explain concepts in an easy and down to earth way, making them easy to understand. I believe the Spanish language should not be abstract or impossible to grasp and memorize.

You can learn fast, my lessons are tailored for you!

  • Beginners: I developed a system that allows my students to master basic conversations after about 30 lessons, or less, depending on how much time and effort they put in. What makes the difference is to stay up to date on practicing and reviewing subjects. Staying focused and committed. After each class you will receive the materials and practice for that specific lesson.

  • Intermediate: We will concentrate on building confidence, identifying weak areas to turn them into strengths. We will work through conversation, finding missing grammar pieces, adding new vocabulary, correcting pronunciation, etc.

  • Advanced: We will work together on fluency and vocabulary through productive conversation, discovering the edges of your comfort zone. Strengthening and expanding your Spanish knowledge, working on speaking and understanding through effective conversation, also identifying and correcting any bad habit built over time, if there is any.

The main focus of the lessons will be conversation and practice, to get you to speak Spanish as quickly as possible.

I will help you overcome your fear of speaking in a foreign language.

After the lesson you will receive worksheets, if we used any during the class,  and/or exercises to reinforce your knowledge.
