What Our Students Say They Love About Our Native Spanish Tutors
SpanishBlackbelt is perfect for people who really want to learn Spanish but haven't had much success before. It's also great for those who need Spanish for traveling or work, for new students who want to learn but don't know where to start, for people who want practice that fits their needs, for those who forgot a lot since they last learned Spanish somewhere else, and for people who can read and write Spanish but need help speaking it better.

''Santiago always encouraged me to speak Spanish even when it took a while to express my thoughts in Spanish. He has boost my confidence level tremendiously. I am no longer "afraid" to speak even if it doesn't come out 100% correct. All of Santiago's correspondence for this class was in Spanish which strengthened my reading and comprehension skills a lot. The repetitive approach to learning Spanish was key to my level of growth. '' Jul 09 2007
