Learn Spanish Live over Skype Video
Our Spanish classes conducted live over Skype Video allow us to make our unique language training and proprietary teaching methodology available to those students who, for a variety of reasons, cannot physically attend classes.
Our students are now able to attend live Spanish classes over Skype wherever they are, and whenever the classes fit their busy schedules.
Classes are not prerecorded. You and your tutor will meet live at the pre-agreed times and days.
Our Spanish classes conducted live over Skype Video are particularly valuable to students who already enjoy using all of the different functionality that Skype provides such as sharing images and emoticons, texting each other while talking, when for example a word is new or is not being understood, or even sharing their screens with their tutor, or seeing the shared screen of their tutor so that, for example, they can make sure they are at the right section of their shared learning materials.
We conduct private Spanish classes through the Skype platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Your assigned native Spanish tutor will call you over Skype at a designated time that will be pre-arranged, and then you start your live and interactive session.
- Both you and your tutor will see, speak, listen and write to each other in real time.
- The notes that you write to each other, such as new words that you learn in a class will be automatically recorded for your future reference at any time. You can even copy and paste them into a word document if desired for later use offline (on your screen or printed out).
- Besides using the materials that we have put together in our online student center to complement your Spanish classes, you will be able to easily share any additional images such as those you can find in your preferred search engine, or even your homework (if you wrote it in a word document or saved it as a PDF), by attaching them in the chat section of the interface. If you did your homework by hand, it is as easy as taking a photo of it and sharing it in the chat section, or just showing your homework through your embeded camera.
