PRIVATE LESSONS NOW · GROUPS COMING SOON
Choose the Spanish learning experience that fits your child
Start with live, private Spanish lessons taught by a native-speaking teacher. Small-group classes are coming soon—register your interest for updates on suitable groups, schedules, and scholarship purchasing options.
Private 1:1 lessons
One dedicated teacher, one student. Lessons move at your child’s pace and build on their interests, experience, and learning goals.
Complete beginners are welcome. If your child already knows some Spanish, their teacher can build on that foundation and give them more opportunities to use it.
Small-group classes (Coming soon)
We’re preparing beginner groups where children can learn with classmates while receiving guidance from a native-speaking teacher.
With just 2–4 students, each learner will have opportunities to participate, ask questions, and practice Spanish.
Groups begin once at least two compatible students and a suitable schedule are confirmed. We’ll share the lesson length, price per student, and proposed start date before you commit.
Joining the interest list does not reserve a place or confirm a start date.
WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE US
Spanish practice with a purpose
Whether your child wants to speak with relatives, connect with new friends, or explore another language, lessons give them a place to turn those interests into practice.
Real conversation
Your child practices listening and responding to a native-speaking teacher, from simple greetings to sharing their own ideas.
Lessons at the right level
Beginners receive a welcoming introduction. Students with previous experience work on the skills that help them move forward.
Personal attention
Private lessons give your child time to ask questions, work through unfamiliar concepts, and practice with feedback.
A schedule your family understands
Share your preferred days, times, and time zone. We’ll confirm a regular schedule based on availability, whether you’re in Florida’s Eastern or Central Time area.

MEET THE TEACHERS
A teacher who helps your child feel ready to speak
Our native-speaking teachers give children a supportive place to practice. They model pronunciation, introduce vocabulary in context, and help students build answers step by step. In private lessons, your child’s teacher gets to know the topics that interest them and the areas where they need more support.
What your child learns
From everyday words to ideas of their own
Your child’s current level shapes their lessons. These are examples of the skills they can develop through regular practice.
Level 1
Beginner
Greetings, colors, family, numbers, spoken out loud from day one.
Level 2
Building sentences
Present tense, questions, and describing their own day.
Level 3
Storytelling
Past and future, longer answers, reading short texts aloud.
Progress reports
Every month you get a short written report: what your child covered, what clicked, and what the teacher is working on next.

What SpanishVIP parents say
Diligent and conscientious with both our kids.
Our two children have been taking classes for about 9 months now. They enjoy the classes every day, and they’ve learned a lot. Their teacher is very diligent and conscientious!
Patient, upbeat, and keeps her fully engaged.
My 7-year-old daughter had been reluctant to speak Spanish with me at home. I’m happy to see her loving the language now. Her teacher is very patient, upbeat, and successful keeping her attention.
She enjoys her lessons and has learned so much.
My 2nd grader has had Spanish lessons daily for around 4 months. She enjoys her lessons and has learned a lot. I would recommend SpanishVIP to other families.
Great with our son, great with us too.
My 6-year-old learned Spanish with his teacher for two months and really enjoyed it. The class is fun, and we got great communication on our kid’s progress along the way.
She looks forward to class every week.
Her teacher is a phenomenal instructor. My 6-year-old looks forward to Spanish class with her every time. She’s engaging, patient, and connects with her so easily.
The right fit for our middle schooler.
We found SpanishVIP to be the best option for our middle-school-age daughter. Her teacher is personable, friendly, patient, and engaging. Could not have asked for a better experience.
