Program Options

Standard Programs

These programs consist of 4 hours of class each morning or afternoon.

4 hours in mini-group

Study Spanish in a group of 1 - 3 students. Classes are personalized to meet the needs of the students in the group. Class groups may change week to week and are organized based on the students levels and personal needs.

(Given our intent to find the best group placement for our students, there may be weeks when a student who has signed up for group classes is placed in one-on-one classes at no additional charge. If this occurs, there is no guarantee as to whether the student will remain in private classes during future weeks.)

Four hours of semi private instruction:

This is the perfect option for those who want to share their learning experience with another student who has the same Spanish level, the same interests (Professional concentration for example) and who wants an intensive program. A semi private group creates a balanced learning environment by fostering confidence, student interaction, and an accelerated learning pace.
If you select the semi private group and do not come with another person or Personalized Spanish cannot find a match for the semi-private class, we will conduct the class with only one student and will not deduct hours or charge you more. However, Personalized Spanish does reserve the right to incorporate a student into the semi private class at any given time.

4 hours of private instruction

While Personalized Spanish personalizes all of its programs to meet its students' needs, there is no better way to guarantee 100% of the attention and complete personalization than by signing up for our Guaranteed Private program. Your class may meet in the morning or in the afternoon, but either way, you will have four hours one-on-one with your instructor.

Intensive Programs

You'll be surprised at how quickly 4 hours of class can pass by while having fun learning Spanish. Many students find it very useful to have an additional 2 hours of private classes each day. You can use them for:

• extra conversational time
• grammar review
• focus on job-specific vocabulary and phrases
• going on instructor-accompanied field trips ranging from going to the grocery store to visiting a business and having the opportunity to talk to Costa Rican's in your field

4 in mini-group + 2 private hours

This program adds 2 hours of private instruction to the 4 in mini-group program. That is 6 hours of class each day, 4 hours in a group in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon all to yourself.

6 hours of private instruction

This program adds 2 additional hours of private instruction to the Guaranteed Private program, giving you 6 hours all to yourself, every day, broken into 4 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon.
