What do I need to start?
First, we have to determine your Spanish level and your programs of interest. Then, we will talk about your schedule, location, and assign any materials you will need. After everything is completed and payment is received, we are ready to start!
How can I know if I will like your classes?
When we first meet to determine your level and interests, we will go over our programs in full detail and answer any questions you may have. You will know what to expect from our lessons and you will also have a free class before starting your lessons.
What if I do not like the class?
On the rare occasion that you don’t find the program or teacher to be a fit, we will try to reassign you. Under certain conditions we also have a refund policy before the first 8 hours of class.
How do I know my level of Spanish?
You will need to take an appropriate written and spoken assessment. This test follows the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) to determine linguistic and communicative competence levels.
What program do you use for teaching?
Our favorite program for the general Spanish course is Gente Hoy, from Difusión. It is a communicative program with a functional task-based approach. It is practical, dynamic, and complete. For specific plans, we work with different books and teaching resources, depending on your goals.
How is payment handled?
Payment for the whole course is made before starting. We accept major credit cards, transfers, Venmo, checks, and others. If you have a preferred payment method we are happy to be accommodating.

How long will it take me to become fluent?
It depends on your current level, goals, motivation, and how much time you dedicate to studying and practicing. However, going from level A1 to C2 will take around 100 class hours per level.
Who will be my teacher?
We train and constantly supervise our teachers. They are not only native Spanish speakers but excellent professionals. The most important aspect is, all of them are committed with the Spanish Perfecto methodology and identity.
How can I reschedule or cancel a class?
We allow rescheduling and cancellations in private classes. You will need to talk directly with your teacher at least 24 hours in advance.
