Learn Spanish in Medellín with Personalized Spanish Classes

Two students at the same level can need completely opposite things. One wants to follow his partner's family at Sunday lunch. The other needs to talk to suppliers without missing a number. Putting them in the same standard course is the quickest way to bore them both.

What a personalized class is, and what it is not

Personalized does not simply mean one-to-one. It means the content is decided by your goal rather than by whichever page the textbook has reached. It is the difference between studying the past tense because it is scheduled for that week and studying it because you have spent five days trying to tell someone what you did at the weekend and it will not come out.

Here is what actually gets adjusted in a plan like this:

• Vocabulary: a kitchen and a boardroom do not share a word list.
• Correction priorities: first whatever stops people understanding you, not every written accent.
• Pace: some people need three repetitions, others are bored by the second.
• Materials: real voice notes, contracts, menus, an email you have to answer tomorrow.
• Schedule: early morning, midday or after the working day.

When a group works better, and when one-to-one does

Group classes have real advantages and it is worth saying so plainly: they cost less, they force you to understand accents other than your teacher's, and they build a social circle that keeps you consistent when you arrive in a new city on your own. One-to-one wins on speed and precision.
