Don't know your child's Spanish proficiency level? One of my primary goals is to ensure that your learner is placed at the right level from the very beginning. 

 If you already know your child's Spanish level, please let me know. This careful placement will significantly enhance their learning experience, making the class more enjoyable and productive.

If you’re unsure of your child’s Spanish level, don’t worry! I offer a 15-minute 1-on-1 Language Proficiency Assessment session to evaluate and determine your child’s proficiency level. While optional, this assessment is highly recommended to ensure your learner starts at the right level. 

If you are interested, please feel free to reach out via message, I will send you the link to sign up for the 20 min. 1-on-1 Language Proficiency Assessment. 

Alternatively, you may wait until your child attends the first class session. If I observe that the current level is not a good fit whether they need to be more challenged or additional support I will recommend placing him/her in one of the different sessions that I offer and better suits his/her needs. Of course, you will have the final decision before making any changes.

      Thank you and I look forward to helping your child thrive in their Spanish learning journey!


¡Nos vemos pronto! See you soon!

Ms. Lugo 😊
