Who it's for
Homeschooling families
A flexible, one-to-one Spanish class that fits your homeschool schedule. Buenos Aires is only 1–2 hours ahead of the US East Coast, so classes fit easily into the school day.
Spanish-speaking families abroad
Help your child keep their Spanish, or pick it up again, through real conversation with a native speaker.
Beginners of any age
No Spanish yet? No problem. Classes start from zero and move at your child's pace.
How the classes work
Length
30, 45, 60 or 90 minutes. We recommend 45 or 60 minutes.
Ages
From 5 to 18. Younger kids learn through games, songs and stories; teens work on conversation, grammar and school goals.
Parents stay in the loop
Parents book the classes and are always my point of contact. An adult doesn't need to sit in, but for younger children we ask that someone is at home during the class.
More than a language class
I adapt every class to the student's age and interests. With younger children, we learn through games, songs and stories. With intermediate teens, we use Spanish to explore history and ideas: we read books and articles together about Ancient Rome and Greece, World War II and other topics they find exciting, and talk about them in Spanish. For homeschooling families, it's a great way to connect Spanish with history and social studies.
What parents get
- A short progress summary by email (for example, once a month): what we covered and what to practice next.
- A record of class hours, useful for your homeschool portfolio.
