How and why we personalize your classes?

A true story…

Meet John

John wanted to learn Spanish – Colombian Spanish – because he wanted to travel and visit Colombia.

– It didn’t have anything to do with his girlfriend Nara, who was moving to Bogota to work for her marketing company. ?

After a quick search on the internet, he found us, and immediately something caught his eyes:

Build your very own course

He knew he needed to learn Spanish from zero, but he didn’t want to spend long days in a classroom or even learn the subjunctive… well, just a little.

So he registered for a 20-hour of study per week at Learn More Than Spanish.

Meet John. He wants to learn Colombian Spanis

Student and Teacher deciding what to study Spanish class

John talked to his teacher, Denisse.

On the first day of class, John explained to Denisse why he wanted to learn Spanish.

His goals, what he felt most comfortable with, and… his weaknesses (we don’t want to say it was conversing in Spanish)

So Denisse created for him his very own course, outlined what he was going to learn every lesson, and support his learning.

John learned and practiced and talked…

First, John took his lessons online.

From the beginning, John practiced talking in Spanish. He also learned grammar, Colombian slang…

…he practiced writing and listening…

Later he traveled to Colombia and continued his learning journey.

At the end of his “course,” John felt more comfortable with his Spanish. He improved his conversational skills and is now working on his accent.

But why do we personalized our classes?

Because we understand that the “one size fits all” approach used in most schools doesn’t work, that all students learn in different ways and at different paces

That is why each student gets a learning plan based on how they learn and their skills and interests.

Because with individualized instruction, you’ll quickly be able to overcome your fears, build confidence, and improve your Spanish.
