We keep our beginning, intermediate and advanced students in different groups so that no student is lost in a hard lesson nor bored in an easy one. Our minimum group size is 3 students and our maximum is 8. We ensure that each student receives an equal amount of attention from the instructor so that he or she has plenty of opportunities to speak and engage with the class.

We emphasize a “first things first” approach to learning Spanish in which the most common words and phrases are learned first. Then, as the lessons begin to focus on subjects of secondary importance, the fundamental lessons are continually reinforced through our conversations. We use a variety of texts during our lessons, most of which were written by our instructors.

Students at the beginner level will maintain basic conversations within the first 10 classes. A full survey of the present tense is covered within the first 30 classes. This includes 100 of the most common verbs, all the essential fundamentals of grammar and hundreds of common vocabulary words. After the first block of 30 classes, the course will focus on the past tenses and other advanced concepts. Intermediate and advanced groups will rely less on textbooks, dedicating more time to conversational exchanges in which new material is gradually introduced and reinforced.

Learning another language is a worthy investment. The average student will need many lessons to reach their desired goals. That’s why it’s smart to share the cost of the lessons with others. Depending on the number of students in your group, the cost per student per class will range from $25 to $30.
