Spanish Teacher's FAQ
-
What payment methods do you accept?Once you have registered for classes, I will email you an invoice thru PayPal. You don't need to have a PayPal account to pay it, you can use your credit card.
-
What is your availabitlity for classes?I teach Monday thru Friday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm. Please contact me to discuss a day and time that works for you and your schedule.
-
What platform do you use to teach Spanish classes?I use Zoom as my platform to teach Spanish Classes. It is very user friendly and most people are familiar with it. It is also a program that is free.
-
What textbooks/reference books are needed to take Spanish classes?Students that sign-up for Beginners Spanish, Intermediate Spanish and/or Advanced Spanish classes will need to purchase a textbook called Complete Spanish Step by Step . I have been working with this book for many years and I am pleased with their program. I will provide you with extra materials and exercises at no cost to you, to complement the lessons in the book and deepen your practice. Students that sign-up for any other Spanish course that I teach, don't need to purchase any materials, they will all be provided by me. A Spanish reference book that I recommend to all my students is Barron's 501 Spanish Verbs, to support their learning process. Fluency in Spanish starts with knowledge of verbs, this can be a very challenging aspect of learning Spanish. I find this book to be a complete conjugation guide.
-
How many Spanish classes should a student take per week?My recomendation is a couple times a week. Of course, if you are only able to do classes once or twice a week, this will work as well, you will learn and see improvements. If you are doing once a week lessons, my recomendation is to take a 1.5-hour class to ensure a steady learning pace. This will allow us to concentrate on practicing the language for a portion of the lesson.
-
How long did it take you to become fluent in English?I studied English when I was attending university. I took 2-hour classes, five days a week for two years. I graduated with a minor in English. Soon after this, I participated in a cultural exchange program that brought me to the U.S. for an immersion experience. I was able to complete two semesters under this program and I reached a level of fluency that allowed me to work in the U.S.
-
What is your cancellation & re-scheduling policy for private Spanish classes?A minimun of 24-hour notice is required to cancel AND/OR re-schedule a class, otherwise, a full charge for the class will apply. This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. Please refer to the Attendance Policy page to read the full version of our policies.
-
What is your refund policy?All purchases are final. All payments are non-refundable.
