Frequently Asked Questions

In a typical classroom with a 14:1 student-teacher ratio, speaking practice is limited. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, you get dedicated conversation time with an expert tutor who can correct your pronunciation, help you think through verb conjugations in real-time, and build your confidence speaking naturally. This focused speaking practice is one of the biggest advantages of tutoring for language learners.

Verb conjugation requires memorizing multiple patterns across different tenses—present, preterite, imperfect, subjunctive—which is overwhelming without targeted support. A tutor can break conjugation into manageable chunks, show you the underlying patterns rather than just rules to memorize, and give you plenty of practice with verbs in context so they stick. This targeted approach helps you move from memorizing conjugations to using them naturally.

Research on learning shows that spaced repetition and retrieval practice—revisiting words over time and testing yourself on them—are far more effective than cramming. A tutor can design vocabulary practice that fits your learning pace, connect new words to themes or contexts you care about, and weave vocabulary into your conversations so words stick long-term rather than disappearing after a test.

Listening comprehension improves through exposure to natural speech patterns, not just textbook audio. Personalized tutoring gives you a native or fluent speaker to listen to, ask questions about what you don't understand, and gradually build your ear for different accents, speeds, and conversational styles. Your tutor can also recommend authentic resources like podcasts or films and help you work through them.

Yes—pronunciation is one area where 1-on-1 tutoring makes a real difference. A tutor can model correct pronunciation, listen to how you're producing sounds, and give you specific feedback on which sounds need work. They can also explain the mechanics of Spanish sounds (like the rolled R or the difference between Spanish and English vowels) so you understand what you're aiming for, not just imitating.

Both matter, but the goal is to internalize grammar so you can use it naturally without thinking about rules mid-conversation. A good tutor balances explicit grammar instruction with plenty of conversational practice, so you understand the "why" behind structures but also build fluency through use. This combination helps you move beyond textbook Spanish to real communication.

Language and culture are inseparable—understanding cultural context helps you use Spanish appropriately and appreciate the language more deeply. Expert tutors can share insights about Spanish-speaking cultures, explain idioms and expressions that don't translate literally, and help you understand when and how to use formal versus informal speech. This cultural awareness makes you a more effective and respectful communicator.

Your first session is about getting to know each other and understanding your goals. The tutor will assess your current level across reading, writing, speaking, and listening; learn what you want to achieve (whether that's passing a class, preparing for a trip, or building fluency); and start tailoring a plan to your needs. You'll likely do some conversational practice so the tutor can hear your strengths and areas to focus on.
