PRIVATE & SPECIALTY CLASSES
**We are currently offering our new SPANISH LEARNING PROGRAM. Please contact us about just taking private classes outside of the program, but our program classes will take priority. If you are interested in Specialized Program classes or just specialized classes, please let us know and we will work to accommodate those.**
While our business is focused on group classes, we know that sometimes students need private classes because of their specific needs and/or availability. So, we are also happy to offer private classes to students at all levels, and our teachers are very skilled in adapting to each individual student’s learning styles.
We can also accommodate students that have a particular interest or theme, such as literature, art, culture, vernacular or idiomatic language interests, Medical Spanish, etc.
CLASSES: We offer one-on-one classes in our space in the city, where our teachers have a whiteboards and classroom, so that you can learn in a peaceful environment.
GENERAL SCHEDULE: We can offer private, regular Spanish classes without the group activities, however for scheduling, students involved in group activities will have priority. For the specialized classes, most students seek intensive opportunities in those, and we will do our best to acomodate your schedule. It is also possible to take a mix of regular and specialized classes as part of our Private Class Program (with group activities) with an extra charge for the specialized classes.
MATERIALS: All worksheets and reading materials for the classes are included in the price. We ask that you have a pen or pencil, a notebook, and if you would like, a dictionary, bilingual for lower levels and monolingual for high level students. (You can download them on your phone; we highly recommend the free SpanishDict for its fairly extensive collective of slang. For a monolingual dictionary on your phone, the Real Academia Española offers a free version if you have internet).
PRICE for Regular Spanish Classes at all levels:
One-on-one classes $400MXN/HR or 10 hours for $3600MXN
For 2-on-1 classes: $270/HR or 10 hours for $2250MXN per student.
SPECIALTY CLASSES:
Listed below are some of our specialty classes that are usually organized for a two-week intervals unless it says otherwise. Additionally, we are flexible and can adapt to our students interests including long-term study.
We also know many people in the city more than capable, so we can search for other guest teachers that would be better prepared to teach the themes you want to study. Just let us know what you’d like to study!
