GBLearning Spanish with Coach Oscar is fun and motivating! Spanish was my second foreign language I learned during college, and my level was between beginner and intermediate. I always want to continuously improve it to the next level. I had tried learning by myself or language exchange with other Spanish-speaking friends. It helped a bit but couldn't go on consistently. Finally, I decided to try tutoring with Spanish 55 and I have been working with Coach Oscar over the last 5 months. Since I like Latino music, Coach Oscar would recommend some of his favorite singers or groups. And during our session, we'd go through some of the music lyrics and this helped me better understand the music, improve my Spanish, and also have an culture exchange. I am about to finish my first book, and I have already gotten my second book for the class and look forward to learn more with Coach Oscar.

DESpanish55 and Coach Atenea I had a B1 level before I started my lessons with Spanish55 and, like probably every student, I felt like I wasn't really making any progress with my Spanish skills. The individual training definitely helped me to have conversations in Spanish and gave me the confidence to use these skills in my everyday life. My teacher Atenea was and still is a great support on this path. She knows what training is necessary and how to take me step by step further towards my goal of reaching the next levels. The classes are a mix of everyday and casual conversations to working through our lessons from the textbook. I really appreciate her calm manner and the fact that she never loses focus and identifies and corrects any of my mistakes, whether grammatical or pronunciation. I can only recommend my coach Atenea and Spanish55 and look forward to my further progress in this program.

GBLove my coach! My coach (Coach Ana) is wonderful! She is very patient with me, imparts a lot of useful information, and is great at answering my questions. I started out panicking whenever I had to open my mouth, and have progressed to a point where I am comfortable trying things out. I feel like I have come a long way in a relatively short time.

GBPersonalized Practice with Speaking and Listening in Spanish I have been a student of Coach Francis for over three years. When I signed up for a free trial lesson with Spanish55 in 2021 after stumbling upon the program with an internet search, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I am SO glad that I took this jump to improve my Spanish. I studied Spanish in school, including having a Spanish minor in college. Although I knew a lot of Spanish, I still struggled to speak and listen, especially over the phone and when people were speaking fast. I am a teacher and want to support my Hispanic students and their families. Enrolling in Spanish55 has made me more comfortable with speaking and listening. I am 100% sure that my Spanish has improved. Coach Francis tailors the lessons to me, which is much different than my experience as a regular student in a class of 20 or more. We have worked specifically on Spanish for educators and any other topics that interest me or are challenging to me. Francis is patient; she points out my mistakes with kindness to help me grow. We have formed a friendship over my three years of working with her, and I have no plans of quitting! I am enjoying my weekly lessons and continue to learn and improve. Spanish55 is a worthwhile investment, the best way I've found to practice Spanish when travel or total immersion are not feasible. I highly recommend Coach Francis and Spanish55.
