• Can I prepare DELE examinations with you?

  Of course, when you book my private lessons a special program to help you prepare for the examinations will be designed and tailored to your personal needs.

• Why is it beneficial to take Spanish lessons Online?
  • Flexibility (go at your own rhythm) 
  • Efficiency and low cost (no additional travel time or costly materials needed)
  • Tailored lessons for your needs.
  • Fastar progress (with private lessons, you have 100% practice time, no need to split your teachers attention with a group)
• Why choose one-to-one or small group tuition?

  A general group course is often not effective for learners who have limited amounts of time at their disposal. In this case, one-to-one classes allow the individual to choose when and where their classes take place. Moreover, one-to-one tuition students are given a detailed assessment and a continuous needs analysis to ensure that their needs are met.

• Do you provide Spanish language certificates?

  No, because I am not a Spanish teaching institution but an experienced private teacher. – I offer preparation classes for examinations recognized worldwide, such as DELE.

• If I have classes with you, how long will it take me to improve my Spanish?

  This varies from student to student and depends on some key factors, especially the amount of time you can dedicate to self-study and the frequency of your Spanish classes. Generally, students who have classes twice a week may move up a level after 8 or 12 weeks, while other students in similar circumstances may need longer.

• Can I cancel or reschedule a lesson?

  Sure, Cancellation and change policy is 24 hours in advance by email. If canceled or changed within 24 hours before the start of the class, the student will be charged.

• What happens if  I’m late or don’t show up for class?

  Officially, the lesson will be considered void if the student does not appear by 15 minutes after the scheduled start time. That specific class is subsequently not reschedulable.
