Frequently asked questions

I mainly need Spanish for parent-teacher conferences. Is conversational Spanish enough?

Yes. Parent-teacher conferences require clear, respectful conversation about student progress and behavior. Our program gives you exactly this foundation. You'll be able to discuss grades, homework, behavior, and concerns - the specialized education vocabulary will come naturally once you have conversational fluency.

Do you teach classroom management phrases or education terminology?

We focus on general conversational Spanish rather than specialized education vocabulary. However, many teachers find that once they're conversational, they can easily pick up classroom phrases and education terms through their daily work or supplementary resources.

How quickly can I start communicating with Spanish-speaking families?

Many teachers can handle basic parent communications within 10-15 months of consistent study. Our small group classes and grammar-based method help you progress quickly, and you can start using simple Spanish with families even earlier.

I learned more in the few weeks of this small group course than I did in a one-on-one tutoring course of similar length from another company.

This course was excellent. As a career technical instructor, I appreciate effective course materials and talented instructors. This course had both. It is for absolute beginners but I came in with a fair amount of proficiency in Spanish. Despite my prior knowledge, Juan Carlos taught me many nuances I did not already know. He was also able to shore up some weaknesses in my basic Spanish. Now, I have even greater confidence in conversation with Spanish-speaking people.
