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!

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.

GBCoach Esther for the win! I have been learning Spanish with Coach Esther for more than a year and have enjoyed every class! Esther makes learning fun and engaging, and has endless patience with my mistakes, confusion and frustrations. I have recently returned from a trip to Colombia, and I was able to safely navigate my way in large part due to the great classes I have had with Coach Esther. I think of her as a friend as well as coach and would highly recommend Esther and Spanish55 to anyone wanting to learn Spanish!

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.

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.
