If you are looking for help as you work your way through a foreign language program, no matter your age or grade level, Varsity Tutors offers Philadelphia Spanish lessons that could be just what you need to build the skills and confidence to succeed. Whether you are a freshman at Franklin Towne Charter High School, a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, anything in-between, or just attempting to learn Spanish to benefit you in your personal life, we have an approach that can give you the chance to reach for your goals. Many academic institutions require students to learn a foreign language as part of their curriculum, while other students choose to do so voluntarily in order to improve their future prospects, both personally and professionally. Regardless of your circumstance, we can offer lessons that match well with your learning style and specific needs.
Spanish is one of the most popular languages in the world, with more than 430 million native speakers and around 20 nations that consider it their official language. It is the second most spoken language in the entire world, as well as in the United States, where 45 million individuals are either native or second-language Spanish speakers. It is also considered by many to be on of the easier languages for English speakers to learn. For these reasons and more, it is one of the most popular choices for students who are seeking to learn a second language. Knowing Spanish can be useful if you ever travel abroad and would like to be able to communicate with the locals or if you find yourself in an industry where international communication is used to conduct business. Bilingual candidates are often given the edge with certain companies when applying for jobs. There are many ways that knowing Spanish can benefit you in the future.
You could be just starting out in your Spanish language program and struggling to understand the basic building blocks or having trouble keeping up with your classmates as you move into more advanced topics. Whatever the case, Varsity Tutors offers two major varieties of lessons that can assist you: group classes and private instruction, which can take place either in person or online. Lessons are never far off either. You can be connected with a Philadelphia Spanish tutor within 24 hours, and new class sessions start each month.
What types of subject areas can Philadelphia Spanish lessons help me to better understand?
While Spanish is considered a fairly easy language to learn, it still presents challenges that many English speakers have never encountered previously. Things like written accents and gendered nouns are some of the most basic concepts of Spanish but might seem completely foreign to new learners. Regular practice of this type of material is key to building your Spanish foundation.
One way that extra instruction outside of normal class time can benefit students is simply by giving them more frequent opportunities to hear, speak, read, and write the language with others. Increased exposure to the language can help you build skills, such as pronunciation, pluralization, and verb conjugation. The more often you get to experience the language in any form, the more it will become second nature to you.
What are the differences in the two approaches to Philadelphia Spanish lessons that are offered?
The two main types of lessons offered by Varsity Tutors are group courses and private instruction. Each of these approaches has its own distinct benefits, and some individuals choose to combine both options for a more well-rounded experienced. You can evaluate them and decide which could work best for you.
Group courses provided instruction that is familiar in many ways to what you have likely taken part in for the majority of your academic life. You, your instructor, and your fellow classmates will meet to participate in collaborative activities and discussions that have the potential to provide you with numerous perspectives on the material. The biggest difference between this course and your normal everyday classes is that it will take place entirely in a virtual classroom. This approach allows you to hear conversational Spanish from a number of different voices in a context that might make it easier to pick up on. Your instructor could even conduct entire lessons in the language to give you a more immersive experience. You also have the opportunity to spend some one-on-one learning time with your teacher.
If that sort of personalized instruction is how you prefer to learn, you may be better off signing up to work with a Philadelphia Spanish tutor. This approach can provide you with lesson plans and study sessions that are tailored specifically to your personal needs. Experienced, independent instructors have the ability to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses before customizing your lessons to focus on the areas where you can improve the most. When you study with a Philadelphia Spanish tutor, you can also regularly express your personal concerns with the material and receive feedback on the progress you are making.
Each of these approaches has its own set of advantages, so you can choose the one that best fits your learning style or combine them to receive the best of both worlds.
How do I sign up to get started with Philadelphia Spanish lessons?
Whether you are studying Spanish for academic, professional, or personal reasons, becoming fluent can be a great boost to your future. When it comes to something this important, there is no reason you need to be going through the process all by yourself. If either of the options for Philadelphia Spanish lessons sounds like they could benefit you as you attempt to master the language, don't hesitate to get a hold of us. Our educational consultants can be contacted either online or by phone to answer additional questions that you may have or get you signed up for the offering that best suits your needs. Don't continue to struggle through your foreign language program alone. Reach out today to get started.

Grainne: Philadelphia Spanish lesson instructor
I'm currently an attorney practicing criminal law in Philadelphia. I've always loved helping others learn! I grew up in Philadelphia, attended Catholic University in Washington, DC for college, and came back to the area to attend law school at Drexel University. In college, I majored in Spanish Language and Literature.... I've always found a Socratic approach to work best - that is, letting someone reach an answer by simply guiding them through what they already know (versus telling them information). Even though this process can be time-consuming and even frustrating, the end result is always the same: people are amazed that they knew more than they thought they did, and they feel accomplished by having reached a result by using their own brain.

...understanding a child's academic needs. In working with patients, I also regularly break down tough scientific concepts into every-day language that they can relate to. This is another very important skill to have when working with students who may be struggling to understand difficult technical concepts. I am confident that my years of academic experience will serve well in helping your child succeed in any subject area they may need help in.... It is important to actively listen to students to understand where they are coming from with their struggles. It is also important to ask strategic, pointed questions of students to help them arrive at conclusions on their own.
