These days Spanish is essential to doing business, whether in the global economy or right in your own backyard. Bilingual personnel are in demand in nearly every field. Our programs will give you the Spanish skills you need to succeed. See our programs below.
Group-4 PLUS Program
This is a combination of 4 hours of group classes (8:00-12:00) plus 2 hours of private tutoring in the afternoon (13:15-15:15). The morning classes have a maximum of 4 students per group and will focus on Spanish for everyday use. In the afternoon class, special attention will be given to your particular needs and interests. Many students use the private tutoring to improve their proficiency and extend their active vocabulary through conversation and review.
In the rare event that we are unable to place you in a morning group class due to differing skill levels, we shall instead provide you with 3 hours of private classes each morning.
We can also tailor afternoon private classes to the requirements of students with special interests–international aid workers, MBA students, teachers, physicians, managers, health care professionals, lawyers, priests and others.
For example, classes can include visits to organizations of interest (i.e., doctors and nurses can visit a major hospital and/or a private clinic, lawyers can visit a court session and can be put into contact with local lawyers, and teachers can visit a local school and/or university). You can also study and practice specialized vocabulary and skills to help you use Spanish in your own particular work environment.
One-to-one Instruction
If you have very little time available or have specialized language needs, you may prefer to concentrate on Spanish in one-to-one tutoring sessions. We offer private classes for 4 or 6 hours a day. This program is available for every level and follows the same scheduling as the Group-4 and Group-4 Plus programs.
Visits can be scheduled related to a certain profession when you start your study. The emphasis of this program lies on improving general language skills and, depending on your needs, building skills and vocabulary specifically related to your profession. Included is a language competence report covering listening and reading comprehension, writing and speaking skills, and if applicable, professional speaking skills.
