Today, Spanish is essential for business, whether in the global marketplace or in your own community. Bilingual professionals are in demand across nearly every industry. Our programs will equip you with the Spanish skills needed to thrive.
The Executive Spanish Program is ideal when time is of the essence. Before you depart, we’ll assess your specific needs and design a personalized program tailored to meet them. By the time you arrive in Costa Rica, we’ll have a comprehensive plan in place to maximize your language learning potential. One-to-one classes can begin any day of the week, including weekends. See our program descriptions below for more details.
This program combines 4 hours of morning group classes (8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.) with 2 hours of private tutoring in the afternoon (1:15 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.). Morning classes, limited to a maximum of 4 students, focus on practical Spanish for everyday use. Afternoon sessions are tailored to your specific needs and interests, allowing you to deepen your proficiency and expand your active vocabulary through targeted conversation and review.
In the rare instance that we’re unable to place you in a morning group class due to differing skill levels, we’ll provide 3 hours of private lessons each morning as an alternative.
Afternoon private tutoring can also be customized for students with special interests, including international aid workers, MBA students, teachers, healthcare professionals, lawyers, and so much more.
For example, classes can incorporate visits to relevant organizations: doctors and nurses may tour a major hospital or private clinic; lawyers may attend a court session and connect with local attorneys; and teachers can visit a local school or university. Additionally, we can focus on specialized vocabulary and practical skills to help you apply Spanish in your professional environment.
If you have limited time or specialized language needs, you may prefer to focus on Spanish through one-on-one tutoring sessions. We offer private classes for 4 or 6 hours a day, available at all levels, following the same schedule as our Group-4 and Group-4 Plus programs.
Professional visits can be arranged based on your field of interest at the start of your program. This personalized approach emphasizes enhancing your general language skills while also building vocabulary and expertise tailored to your profession. Additionally, you will receive a language competency report that assesses your listening, reading comprehension, writing, speaking skills, and, if applicable, professional communication skills.
