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.

GBI was very anxious about learning Spanish I was very anxious about this process, and my instructor Jessica has done a great job of setting my mind at ease. The structure has been excellent and helps me understand why things are structured the way they grammatically.

GBI have been trying to learn Spanish… I have been trying to learn Spanish on-line for 4 years, but not until I started working with Coach Marisela did I see any improvement. She is very patient, and always takes the time to answer my questions. I have become much more confidence in speaking Spanish when I travel to Spanish speaking countries. Jane Langenfeld

GBFive stars for Coach Paula I have been taking Spanish lessons with Spanish55 since 2021. I have been with my coach, Paula, since December 2021. I believe her teaching and understanding is why I have continued to pursue my goal of learning to speak Spanish. Coach Paula is able to see where I am struggling and supplement additional work to help me fully understand, as needed. She is encouraging when I become frustrated, celebrates small and big victories with me, is understanding when I become overwhelmed and truly cares about my learning experience. I think Coach Paula may know me better than I know myself! I am proud of how far I have come, but it wouldn't be possible without Coach Paula. I found Spanish55 after an internet search. I was happy to find one on one learning that had a flexible schedule and fit within my budget. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, but none of it stuck, so I started with the very basics again. I have learned so much! All of my friends have used other modalities to learn, and they have noted how I have exceeded their learning progress, which is due to the personalizations my coach has implemented into my learning.

GBSpanish 55: Coach Valeria I have been learning Spanish with Coach Valeria for three years. Simply put, she is an incredible teacher. I could not recommend her more highly. Not only is she an outstanding professional, she is a kind and thoughtful person.
