Combined

Students looking to learn Spanish with some additional personalized assistance should consider the combined course. The combined course consists of 20 group lessons + 4 or 10 private lessons per week. With the addition of individual lessons, students have an opportunity to explore in more depth the themes and topics discussed in group classes. The teacher can focus on the areas in which the student needs more attention and cover additional content.

Minimum age is 16 years.

One-to-one

If you want to fully concentrate on your needs then one-to-one lessons are the perfect choice for you!

The one-on-one attention from a professor allows the lessons to focus on the student’s areas of interest. Classes can focus mainly on pronunciation and speaking fluidity or specific grammar rules that the student finds more difficult. Students can expect to improve their level of Spanish significantly in a short period of time by concentrating on the areas of the language that they find most difficult and receive uninterrupted personalized attention from the professor.

We recommend to book 10 or 20 private lessons per week, but it is also possible to book any other amount of private lessons per week (minimum 2 private lessons per week).

Minimum age is 16 years.
