  • Lessons and levels designed using the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and following the Instituto Cervantes Curricular Plan (PCIC)
  • Customized classes based on your child’s needs, interests, and learning styles
  • Well developed curriculum that exposes students to real-life experiences
  • Students connect the learning material to their own world, facilitating language acquisition
  • A variety of dynamic, fun activities during class that will keep your child engaged and interested
  • Carefully selected props, realia, and puppets for each class
  • The use of engaging methods, including gamification
  • Manipulating materials for your child that make the classes fun and dynamic
  • Your child will advance through units according to his or her pace and needs, not based on a set number of lessons to be covered
  • Your child will start in the unit that best matches her or his level of Spanish
  • An environment where your child feels comfortable and confident, which has a positive impact on his or her learning
  • Culture is present throughout all units. Our puppets are from different Spanish-speaking countries, and they share a wide range of stories and experiences
  • The skills to communicate in Spanish

* The length of class is based on your child’s age and takes into consideration their attention span, abilities, and interests. Activities are carefully selected based on these factors.

A Learning Adventure

Beto, Pancho, Moño and my other puppet friends ensure your child will love learning Spanish. I also use many other props, including puffy animals, toys, and more.

Here's what parents are saying

Thank you Profesora Mary. You are very patient, and you carefully prepare fun props for each class and correct Eason’s pronunciation carefully. He has made great progress.

Profesora Mary was wonderful! She fully engaged my little girl and had her speaking in Spanish very quickly.
