Conversational Series
We offer semi-private lessons of 2-6 people in the South Bay Area. Classes are held either at my home in Campbell, or I can arrange classes in the nearby area or Peninsula.
We assess your goals and develop a series to focus on what you need to learn. Whether it be to close a deal in Spanish or teach arts & crafts to Mexican students, let us know what you need and we will work your goals into the course curriculum.
Classes are offered in ten-hour increments. We try to build a class around your schedule and location, taking into account your vacation or other time out-of-town. You will really notice improvement if you continue to come and practice. Classes are usually scheduled for one hour per week for ten weeks, but I can also work with your schedule if you have a specific need. Contact us for any additional information.
