One-on-One Classes
Our one-on-one program is Vida Verde´s most popular class choice. It offers a personalized approach to learning Spanish which can be adaptable for the needs of any student. This is the best choice for those who want to learn Spanish as quickly as possible. We have noticed that our students progress about 25% faster when taking individual classes as compared with group classes.
- One-on-one classes push beginner students through the lower levels quicker so they can get to real communication faster.
- Many intermediate and advanced students have knowledge gaps from their past study of Spanish. The personal attention of an individual class provides ample opportunity to identify and correct specific errors which may be preventing the student from advancing in fluency.
- Students receive a personalized book which will address these knowledge gaps. With personal attention, students can work through material as fast or as slow as necessary.
- Students have the option to focus on topics of interest, such as literature, cultural topics, or DELE preparation.
Schedule
Morning Classes: 8:30 – 12:30

After spending three weeks directly at the school, I now do the online course at Vida Verde. And I can really say, this online course is a great replacement for being directly at the school. Actually, it's even better. Because using the computer provides a lot more possibilities and flexibility. For instance: If you don't know the meaning of a word, the teacher can quickly use ``Google`` to find it and show you a picture. Video and Audio quality are really good, so for me it's not a bit harder to understand, what the teachers says than before directly at the school. Exercises and homework are exchanged within a minute and if I have to write something, I can type, instead of writing by hand, which I really appreciate. Since I did the online course I even stopped traveling to Spanish language schools.
