Finally! Spanish classes that teach communication!
Learning a new language doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated. There are 3 things that you need to make it a success, NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU ARE. Your classes need to be comprehensible, in context and compelling. The days of long thematic vocabulary lists and complicated grammar rules are long gone. Welcome to teaching with Comprehensible Input and TPR Storytelling.

Each session is only 1 hour and is designed to have an isolated topic of conversation each week. Students and families have the flexibility to come monthly or per semester.
Class fee is $120 for 4 classes + $25 planning / preparation fee.
