Why this is different
Most Spanish courses start with a syllabus. We start with your work.
Your context, not a generic list. We work from what your role actually demands — talking with patients, technical vocabulary, meetings, negotiation, presentations, and the small talk before the meeting starts.
1-on-1, live, online. Two people and a screen. No classroom, and no rotating tutors — the same person who trains you is the person you talk to.
Colombian Spanish as the base. Latin American usage, with the register your context calls for, and awareness of the other varieties you will meet.
Progress you can observe. We work on capabilities you can actually see — not on promises about outcomes.
Who this is for
- Healthcare professionals who need Spanish with patients and colleagues
- Technology professionals working with Spanish-speaking teams, clients or users
- Business professionals who negotiate, present or manage in Spanish
- Other professionals whose work has become partly Spanish, and who want to be deliberate about it
Who this is not for: children and teenagers; complete beginners looking for a general-interest course; and anyone who needs a certification — none is included.

Questions
Is this only for advanced speakers?
No. Where you start is what determines the plan.
Do you teach Spain Spanish or Latin American Spanish?
Colombian Spanish is the base, with Latin American usage. If your context is Spain, tell me — the register differences matter, and we work on them explicitly.
Do I get a certification?
No. No certification is included. If you need a certificate for a formal purpose, tell me and we can talk about what exists on the market — but I do not issue one.
How many hours will I need?
That depends on where you are starting, what you are aiming at, and how much you practise outside the sessions. I will not quote a number before I know those three things.
Do you guarantee I will reach a level?
No. I do not guarantee results of any kind. What I can tell you is what we will work on, and how we will both know whether it is working.
Can you work with my company?
Yes. Corporate programmes are prepared individually, and the first step is the same 20-minute conversation.
Are materials included?
The materials used inside the sessions are included. Physical books and downloadable packs are not.
How do I pay?
Once we agree on a plan, I send you the payment details and the plan options together.
Ready to start?
Tell me what your work demands in Spanish, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
Twenty minutes, free, no commitment. This is an introductory conversation, not a free lesson.
