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.

GBNo Regrets! I have found Spanish 55 to be a great experience. And my coach, Jacob, has been amazing to work with. They have a wealth of tools that my coach uses with me that are personalized to what I’m interested in learning. Scheduling is easy and when I do need to reschedule I can find times that work in my busy schedule. Jacob is very patient but pushes me in the right ways. I highly recommend this program and Jacob - no reason to be nervous about this program because they will be sure it meets your personal needs!

GBCoach Alberto Spanish 55 I have been trying to learn Spanish for years now, and a few years ago I discovered Spanish 55 and Coach Alberto! He is the best Spanish tutor I've ever worked with, he is extremely patient a good listener, and has great methods of explaining and teaching things to you. He makes learning the language fun I have learned alot, and hope to continue with coach Alberto until I reach fluency!

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.

GBFred’s Spanish55 Experience. Basically, it all boils down to the instruction. My instructor, Monica, is a walking encyclopedia. All of my questions are always answered. Just as important as the knowledge is the rapport that I have with her. She’s genuinely interested in our conversations, and that makes the Spanish language come alive beyond the facts and information. Talking to native speakers is always good, but talking to one who can answer all of your questions, correct all of your mistakes, and is interesting to talk to is like gold.
