1Since when have you been teaching Spanish?

More than five years ago, we started teaching Spanish in the United States. At the beginning of 2020, we decided to found our own academy.

2Is the staff certified to teach and care for children?

Yes. All of our staff members are qualified with three basic certifications:

GACE: This is the Georgia State Approved Educator Certification and Assessment Program. The purpose of the GACE assessments is to help the GaPSC ensure that candidates have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the teaching job.

CDA: It is a credential that early childhood educators must obtain to demonstrate certain competencies in the care and teaching of children. In addition, they have knowledge of how to nurture the emotional, physical, intellectual, and social development of early childhood students.

CPR: training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first aid.

3What requirements does the academy staff meet?

  1. They are professionals in education in the Spanish language.
  2. They are GACE and CDA certified.
  3. They have experience teaching children and adults.
  4. They are proficient with online tools.

4Do you take care of and teach Spanish to children with special conditions: autism, Down Syndrome, etc.?

No. We believe that each child is special and requires personalized attention.

Our staff, so far, is not trained to care for children with these special conditions, since the teaching methods to achieve successful learning are particular for each case.

5Is it mandatory to buy the materials to see the classes?

No. It is up to each person to acquire the extra material for their education.

6How long is each class?

Each class is 2 hours long.

7On what platform are the online classes held?

Classes are taught via Zoom.

8Do you do placement tests?

Yes. We do a test before starting the course to find out the student's level of Spanish. Depending on the result, we determine the method that we will use.

9How to coordinate the registration process and class schedules?

    "I loved My Spanish from the beginning. They came into my life at a time when I needed them. My children were bored at home due to their quarantine, and taking advantage of the time to have Spanish classes was a great option. Their teaching through games is a great strategy."

    "Something that I liked about this course is that it fully adapts to your schedules. I am a doctor, and I work long hours a day. I started to learn Spanish because I have a mission in Latin America, and I have to practice the language. With My Spanish Teacher, I discovered that I could organize my classes for practically any free space I had. And I value that very much."

    "I never imagined that children under the age of three would have such an ability to learn several languages. Since I started hiring the My Spanish babysitting service, I have noticed that my daughter has learned a lot of Spanish. Besides, I know that she is very well cared for by her babysitter."

    "So far, I have felt great in the online classes. It has been a very learning experience. I confess that it was bad enough to learn languages, but the conversational methodology and the selection of topics that I like have made it very bearable. I feel, for the first time, in confidence to learn Spanish."

    "I am Latina and I have been living in the United States for more than 20 years. My husband is American and, at home, we always speak English. I wanted my children to learn my language, but I wasn't sure I had enough pedagogy to teach them. My Spanish Teacher Academy has been the best option that I have been able to find to achieve this purpose. The classes are fun and, my children have learned super fast. I appreciate it very much."

    "I was looking for my children to learn Spanish and I found the wonder that My Spanish Teacher also offers a babysitting service that speaks 100% in Spanish. It was a great relief to find that opportunity for them to learn the language naturally and also to be able to take care of them during my working hours. It is a great plus that I had not seen in other companies."
