Private classes

Adults, teenagers and children

We recommend you ONLY take private classes when you are not able to come to our group courses and workshops due to your schedule or a preference to work by yourself. Having private classes mean you will be able to decide when to take the class and for how long, we can organise a time and plan that works for you and your goal.

Goals can be…. For adults… be able to communicate with your partner’s family, travel around South America or Spain, sit an official Spanish exam (DELE), study or work abroad. For children… to be able to communicate with extended families overseas, have a second language knowledge, boost problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask.

It is very important to have a goal in mind when you start your language learning, it will keep you focus and help us to help you reach your goal.

Private classes are mainly held at 76 Peterborough Street, Christchurch City; in some special circumstances we do provide classes on-site too.

Online private lessons are also possible and they are 15% off our full fee.

We offer private lessons for adults, teenagers, children, families. Some adults thrive taking these lessons, they are also very good value for money when you know you cannot make it to a group class or you work shift work or travel.
We prefer children to come to our group courses though, most children feel more engaged in a group, but we know some families work better in a private setting specially when they can all learn at the same time; we have some families who like to take this option for 30 or 60 minutes a week/ fortnight. Fees are the same for all private classes whether they are children or adults.

Private classes work as a concession card, you pay for 1hs or 5hs or 10 hs in advance, we offer a discount for 10 hs; we ask you to pay in advance, as all our courses and classes and they expire in 4 months after the invoice is sent.
