SpanishBlackbelt — Local services in Jersey City

My experience with SpanishBlackbelt has exceeded all expectations. My fiancé & I have wanted to relearn Spanish for a long time. We both took Spanish through high school & loved it, but then forgot a lot of what we had learned once reaching college & placing out of all Spanish classes. We searched for options that would allow for us to regain proficiency in the language in a way that offered flexibility with our work schedules & SpanishBlackbelt seemed like the answer. For 8 weeks straight, we met for 2 hours straight in an intimate 4-person class on Zoom to go through our pre-reading & practice the concepts we learned through real-world application.

Maria produces an environment to make you want to learn and have fun learning it. She will not move forward until she is certain you understand the concept presented. She offers real life explanations and clarifications throughout the class. I am already using so many of the sentences and phrases at work. I...

I've had an amazing experience with SpanishBlackbelt -- so much so that I plan to continue my Spanish education with them. My tutor, Adrian, was fantastic. He was patient, informative, thoughtful and encouraging in his explanations. He encouraged participation and engaged all students equally in our intimate 4-person group. Because of this, all of the students deeply enjoyed spending time in Zoom together and all 4 students plan to continue Spanish education with Adrian. This is an indicator of how much we enjoyed our time together, thanks to Adrian's facilitation and instruction! Muchas gracias, Adrian, por tu...
