Instruction Options

 

  • Small online group classes:

    Our small online group classes consist of an average of 4 participants, ensuring each student ample opportunity to engage in conversational practice based on real-life scenarios. This setting fosters maximum interaction between students and teachers. Classes are held once a week for two hours (8 weeks), with time slots available from 5 to 7 pm, 6 to 8 pm, or 7 to 9 pm. Once Conversa we have a minimum of 3 students at the same level enrolled, your course can be scheduled.  Conversa reserves the right to postpone a class if it does not have at least three confirmed registrations.

  • Online semi-private classes:

    Our online semi-private classes consist of 2 students at the same level. These classes offer a faster pace of learning compared to small-group classes. Once we pair you with another student at your level, you can begin your sessions immediately and choose the number of hours per week that suit your schedule (1.5 hours or 2 hours per session)

  • Online private classes:

Our online private classes are tailored for one student, offering unparalleled flexibility in scheduling. This format allows participants to progress at their own pace and benefit from personalized attention from our language instructors. You can schedule as many hours as you like and begin your sessions whenever you're ready (ranging from 1 to 2 hours).

  •  Online conversational classes:

Our online Conversational classes are customized for Intermediate and Advanced students. This specialized course focuses on enhancing speaking and listening skills. Sessions are scheduled at times convenient for students, and classes are conducted in small groups to maximize speaking time and provide personalized feedback from instructors, thereby boosting conversational fluency.

  •  Online survival traveling classes:

Survival Traveling Classes are specially designed for Spanish and Portuguese beginner and intermediate students who wish to acquire essential language skills for travel purposes. These classes focus on practical language usage, covering basic vocabulary, phrases, and cultural insights necessary for effective communication in everyday situations while traveling. Participants will learn to navigate common scenarios such as ordering food, asking for directions, and interacting with locals. The aim is to equip students with the confidence and ability to communicate comfortably in their destination country, enhancing their travel experience. This course is available for private, semi-private, and family groups (1.5 hours or 2 hours per session).
