Learn Spanish with Press 2 for Español

I recommend not less than once per week. It is important not to leave much time between lessons to keep momentum and have all the concepts fresh in your mind. By being consistent, you will be able to see progress, and that's what we strive =)

I would say that the ideal number of lessons to have is two per week, but once a week is great too.

It is also important to consider not relying solely on the times per week you'll meet with me for class. You won't see much progress if you rely on class

time. I will make recommendations for activities to do within the week that will bolster your learning.

You’ll need:

• A Gmail account for me to send the lesson via Google Docs

• Skype, FaceTime, or Zoom installed on your computer. I'll use the video conference system of your choice.

• I might ask you to purchase support materials if I assess the need. The books and other materials are great resources and affordable.

Yes. I developed the curriculum in 2016, and I've been using it across all my lessons with great success. However, the curriculum serves only as the foundation since I tailor the lessons according to your specific needs and learning style.

You can cancel the lesson at any time, but fees may be applied if you cancel 24 hours or less before the lesson.

Canceling 12 or more hours before the lesson:

• If you cancel 12 or more hours before the lesson takes place, but you reschedule the lesson, you will be charged half of the lesson's price.

• If you cancel 12 or more hours before, but you don't reschedule: you will be charged the lesson in full.

• Canceling less than 12 hours before the lesson: you will be charged in full.

I understand that being charged for a lesson that you didn't have is not fun, but there's a lot of work and dedication put into each of the lessons to make them relevant to you.

I also run a tight schedule, and canceling with short notice will prevent me from teaching other students.

I'll try my best to adapt to your schedule to provide you with opportunities to reschedule. I don't want you to be charged for a lesson that you didn't have, it is not the best use of your money, and it doesn't make my work meaningful...I also want to see you!

It depends. I have students that start having conversations in Spanish as early as 4 months into the lessons and others that take a little longer. After years of experience working with students and assessing their progress, I found that progress depends on how much time students put into learning Spanish independently.

You will meet with me one or a few hours per week; you can not rely on learning Spanish quickly by studying only on the times we meet. I will give you strategies and tips to work when we don't see each other for class. The amount of effort and consistency you put into learning Spanish is closely related to the speed at which you will become conversational and fluent in Spanish.

I will give you fun ideas to immerse into Spanish as much as possible, from listening to music to watching amazing movies, and many others.

More than likely, if you are visiting my website, you have great reasons to learn Spanish. But, if by any chance you need a few more reasons to learn Spanish, here are a few:

• Being bilingual in the workplace can open up new opportunities for key assignments and pay raises.

• With the increase of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States and the expansion of the Latin American markets, some employers might require their employees to speak Spanish.

• Some of the most beautiful places to travel to are Spanish-speaking countries. Whether you travel to Spain, Argentina, or México, by knowing how to communicate with locals, you'll now experience the country to the fullest!

• It is fun! We will have so much fun learning it, and you can always impress your friends and family when they hear you say at your favorite tapas restaurant, “Una mesa para cuatro, por favor.”

• A fantastic world of art, music, and literature will open up to you. You will gain a better appreciation of great songs, movies, and pieces of art by seeing and hearing them in their original language.

• More romantic opportunities. For you señoritas, you will be able to flirt with cute guys and say, "Qué tal, guapo?." And guys, can say,”Hola Señorita bonita",and who knows, maybe you'll strike a date.

I started my teaching profession at an urban city school in Dallas, Texas. In my first year of teaching, I was given the responsibility to teach all subjects assessed for 4th grade in the state of Texas exams, which are reading (English & Spanish), writing (English & Spanish), and Math. In my first year, I was one of the highest scores in the school, with almost 90% of my students passing the exams. In the years that came my students always scored within the top 5% of students in the school district. Within 3 years of teaching, I was recognized as a Master Teacher, an honor that just a few of the most senior teachers had.

After ten years of teaching, I decided that I wanted to pursue my own business combining my love for teaching and for languages, and that's when I started Press 2.

Since then I've been honored to teach so many amazing students. I am so grateful for each and one of them. I teach them Spanish but they also teach me many amazing things about their jobs, industries, experience, and life in general.

I've had students that started lessons with me with zero Spanish knowledge and now they are fluent. It is the greatest satisfaction to have as a teacher.

Yes! Please click here and you'll be directed to schedule your 15-minute trial with me. That way we'll get to meet each other, and you'll get to see if I am the right match for you. No commitment is necessary.

During our first session, I'll take some time to explore your Spanish level, the ways you learn, your interests, and the reasons why you are learning Spanish. We'll also talk about your goals and objectives.

We will get to work right away, but the exercises will look more generic. After the first lesson, I'll be able to know you a little bit better and therefore create lessons, especially for you.
