Fall, Spring and Summer
We will offer the following group classes three times a year in Spring, Summer and Fall if we have minimum of 3 students that sign up. We also offer one on one tutoring for $60 (60 minutes). 
  • Spanish 1: Learn the basics of reading, writing, and speaking Spanish! We will go over a bunch of vocabulary and end the class with the present tense. While this is an introductory course, this class is for those who are committed to improve their knowledge of the Spanish language. Studying material and practicing between classes is crucial for your success! 
  • Spanish 2: This class will be the continuation of Spanish 1. Students will be able to further develop their Spanish skills. We will practice verb tenses, adjectives, and so much more. At the end of the course, a test will determine if students are ready for Spanish Reading and Comprehension class.​ 
  • Spanish Reading & Comprehension: Practice what you learned in Spanish 1 and 2. Here we will be reading together as a class and see how much you understand in Spanish. Practicing pronunciation is crucial for learning Spanish. Here, students will practice their pronunciation and comprehension skills when it comes to Spanish short texts. We will use an online PDF of Spanish short stories. At the end of the course, a reading and comprehension test will determine if the students are ready to move forward. ​ 
  • Conversation 1: In this class, we will learn the basics of Conversation and practice our Spanish skills together! This class is great for students that want to learn vocabulary and phrases that will come in handy in conversations. We will use vocabulary from the book to come up with short conversations. 
  • Spanish 3: In this class, students will learn more tenses and extra vocabulary while practicing their reading and conversational skills. This class is for intermediate students. 
We have syllabuses and placement tests for new students to be placed in all levels except Spanish 1. The book we will be using is Easy Spanish Step-by-Step for Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. Our Conversation 1 class will use the Spanish Conversation book by Jean Yates.
