USLearning 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.

USBrand new to Spanish. Hello! I’m a 40(ish) year old fireman who had basically zero Spanish experience before Spanish 55. Well, almost zero, I had attempted two Spanish classes in the past, but dropped out after both the teachers told me that maybe foreign language isn’t for me. But I didn’t give up, I attempted Rosetta Stone, 3 separate times, failing miserably each time. Nothing against Rosetta Stone, but there is no way someone like me can learn Spanish from that program. So during the lockdown I thought I would give it one more try, and after a little research I found Spanish 55 and coach Ana. It’s been super helpful, I’m definitely not fluent but I know now that I will get there at some point. Coach Ana is so friendly, patient and most importantly non judgmental.😎. Shes a great teacher. I’m progressing slowly, and I really enjoy learning Spanish, which I’m hoping is half the battle. I subscribe to the 4 classes a month program but if I had a more open schedule I would definitely take more classes. I can’t recommend the program more. If you don’t have time to take in person class and want to learn Spanish, Spanish 55 is the way to go.

USFive 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.

USPersonalized 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.

USHighly Recommend Spanish55 I did extensive research on in-person and online Spanish courses. I was looking for a one-on-one experience, as opposed to group sessions. I'm glad I selected Spanish55. First, my Coach Giovanna is outstanding. Second, given my lifestyle, Spanish55 offers great flexibility in scheduling my classes. I would highly recommend Spanish55 to anyone looking to increase their Spanish language skills
