Don't fit into a box? No problem. Most of my students have a unique mix of goals. We can combine conversation practice with grammar drills, or focus entirely on a specific project you're working on.

During the trial class, we'll discuss exactly what you need and design a plan that fits your life, whether that's preparing for a job interview in Spanish, learning industry-specific vocabulary, or just having engaging conversations about topics you care about.
