Executives and professionals trust me to immerse them into the Spanish language.

What is immersion learning?

Immersion learning works in the same way a child learns a new language without formal training. You work with a native speaker and get accustomed to hearing them in real world scenarios.

From having a coffee to presenting in a business meeting, you will quickly learn to recognize key words and phrases. With practice, you will be able to respond in real time without disrupting the flow of the conversation.

Learning is not just a task; it's an experience that requires a dedicated and welcoming teacher.

Make a real difference in each student's experience is my top priority.

From a New Yorker to you.

From the heart of Manhattan, whether you prefer the Financial District, the Upper West Side or the Upper East Side, a strong sense of community is what defines us.

Conversational skills are the focus. Leave it to me.

Language should feel natural. Wouldn't it be great if you could walk the streets of Lima, Bogotá or Buenos Aires and meet new people? The key to new cultural experiences is communication. With me, you won't be memorizing vocabulary; instead, you will acquire new skills: you will hear new words, understand them, and continue the conversation. That's the goal: To keep the conversation going.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours of group sessions will I have?

Are textbooks or materials provided by the teacher to review on my own?
Each students receives a short homework assignment weekly that helps them consolidate their learning and get a preview of upcoming topics. Additionally, all materials used in class are shared with students after each session.
How many students are there in a group class? What other options are available?
You can choose between a large group (8-20 people), small group (6-12 people) or private lessons. You may choose to start right away with a private lesson or sign up to join a group when available. New groups open every two weeks.
Can I request a customized class for me and my friends?
A group looking to learn about a particular topic can schedule lessons that will be tailored to their needs, whether it’s for crucial business meetings or leisure travel.
Am I required to know a little bit of Spanish to join a group or have individual lessons?
No. You will have a chance to have a placement interview that will give the teacher enough information about your current knowledge of Spanish to find a group that is the right fit for you. If you are going for individual lessons, the teacher will tailor the class to you and provide you with accurate feedback each class about your current level to help you improve and achieve your goals.
