Our private Spanish lessons can be taken for as little as 2 hours a week to 20 hours a week. Having an individual Spanish lesson means you have your Spanish teacher all to yourself! The advantage of this is that your Spanish class can be exactly what you want and need it to be. Your teacher will tailor each lesson to your specific grammatical and conversational needs and their attention will be entirely focused your Spanish learning and not the needs of other classmates. In a private class oral communication is emphasized without losing attention to reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary acquirement. This combined with the individual attention will have you quickly speaking Spanish confidently.
Private lessons are available in the afternoon so that if you wish, they can be combined with group classes in the mornings.
We also provide accommodation options for our students with a native Spanish speaker. This allows students to practice their Spanish at home and learn about Argentine culture. Students can select a homestay (includes 2 daily meals) or shared apartment accommodation option.
We offer many activities to complement our Spanish classes which provide students the opportunity to practice their Spanish with locals and to also learn about Argentine culture, including:
