Why Choose Us…
The Personalized Spanish Difference

Personalized Spanish values your time and money.  Since our school is extremely small, we have the opportunity to get to know each one of our students.  We assess their needs and limitations and work diligently to improve their Spanish from the first day.  At Personalized Spanish, you are not a number. Our school is for the serious learner.  Most of our student population is made up of adult learners, professionals, families and motivated young adults and adolescents.
The prices truly reflect the boutique school experience that makes Personalized Spanish one of a kind by:

• Answering your emails thoroughly and honestly within 24 hours.
• Working together to create a personalized program that reflects your needs and interests.
