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!

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.

Class options

Group Classes

$2,500 /month

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 (1-on-1)

From 2,000 to 5,000 MXN per month (1 to 3 hours per week)

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.

Private Group

$3,500 /month per person

Best for couples, friends, or small private groups who want a supportive, focused learning experience together.

Private group classes are designed for two or more people who join as their own group. Lessons follow the same structured approach as private classes, with built-in time for speaking, listening, and building confidence together. Perfect for those who want shared progress without the pressure of a traditional group setting.
