Designed for beginners who want clarity, not confusion

For true beginners and “almost beginners”
If you’ve tried Spanish before but felt overwhelmed, rushed, or confused, this is for you. We take the time to build a solid foundation so nothing feels random or guessed.

Built for English thinkers
Spanish is explained through patterns that make sense to English speakers. Instead of memorizing phrases, you learn why things work so you can actually build your own sentences.

Pronunciation you can feel confident about
From the beginning, we focus on pronunciation and sound awareness so you don’t develop habits that are hard to undo later.

A supportive, low-pressure learning environment
Corrections are gentle, clear and encouraging. Making mistakes is expected, and part of the process!

Class options

Group classes

Best for learners who enjoy consistency, community, and learning alongside others.

Small group classes designed for adult English speakers who want structure, clarity, and real progress. Classes move at a steady pace with a strong focus on speaking, pronunciation, and understanding how Spanish actually works. Levels are clearly defined so you are always learning with people at a similar stage, and we do not move on until the foundation feels solid.

Private classes (one-on-one)

Best for learners who want a personalized, focused approach with clear structure and flexibility.

One on one classes tailored completely to your pace, goals, and learning style. These sessions are ideal if you want focused attention, extra pronunciation work, or help filling specific gaps in your Spanish. Lessons are structured but flexible, allowing us to slow down where needed and move faster where things click.

Couples classes

Best for couples who want a supportive, focused learning experience they can share. Couples classes are designed for two people learning together at the same level. Lessons follow the same structured approach as private classes while allowing both partners to practice speaking, listening, and building confidence together. This option works well for partners who want shared progress without the pressure of a group setting.

How classes work

Tuition is billed monthly and includes 3 hours of guided instruction per week, divided into two 1.5-hour sessions.

Choose from one of the following schedules:

• Monday & Thursday
• Tuesday & Friday

Classes are offered in-person in Puerto Vallarta, hybrid, or fully online via Zoom, allowing you to participate in the format that works best for you.

Enrollment and placement are confirmed after reviewing your placement test and intake form.
