Quick answers

Questions from Geneva-based students

My schedule is unpredictable — how does the timetable work?
Lessons are booked individually, not locked into a fixed weekly slot. Early morning, lunch or evening — whatever works that week. If something comes up, you reschedule. Geneva's professional calendar is demanding and the format is designed around that.
I already know some Spanish — do I have to start from scratch?
Not at all. We assess your real level in the first lesson — not a written test, just a conversation. From there we pick up exactly where you are and build from what you already know.
Is online as effective as in-person for language learning?
For 1-on-1 lessons, yes — consistently so. You get the same real-time interaction, the same immediate correction, the same progress. What you gain is flexibility: no commute across Geneva, no disruption when you travel.
How quickly will I see real progress?
Students taking one lesson per week typically notice real improvement in 4–6 weeks. Two lessons per week accelerates this significantly. The key is consistency — which flexible online scheduling makes much easier to maintain.
What materials do you use? Do I need to buy anything?
No purchases needed. We work on shared documents created specifically for you — available before and after each session, editable, and always accessible. No textbooks, no generic workbooks.

Spanish is spoken in 21 of the countries represented in Geneva. Time to speak it too.
