Combination courses
Combine group Spanish classes with private lessons
Combination courses are designed for students who want the social rhythm of a group Spanish course together with the personal focus of private lessons. You study in a small group with students at a similar level, then add individual lessons to work on your own goals.
The group lessons help you practise Spanish in an international classroom environment, with speaking, grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading and writing. The private lessons give you extra time with a teacher to focus on the areas that matter most to you, such as fluency, grammar, pronunciation, exam preparation, business Spanish, medical Spanish or professional communication.
Combination courses are a good choice if you want to make faster progress, have limited time available, or need more personal attention while still enjoying the atmosphere of a group course. Most classes take place in the morning, although timetables can vary depending on the destination, season and level.
Intensive 20 + 5
Level: For all levelsThis course combines the Intensive 20 group course with 5 private Spanish lessons per week. That means 4 group lessons per day plus 1 private lesson per day, Monday to Friday.
The private lessons are usually scheduled before or after your group classes. They give you time to focus on your personal learning goals, such as fluency, grammar, pronunciation, business Spanish, medical Spanish or another specific area where you want extra support.
This is a good option if you want the structure and social atmosphere of a group course, with a small amount of personalised attention each day.
Intensive 20 + 10
Level: For all levelsThis course combines the Intensive 20 group course with 10 private Spanish lessons per week. That means 4 group lessons per day plus 2 private lessons per day, Monday to Friday.
The group lessons provide the structure of a daily Spanish course, while the private lessons focus on your individual goals. You can use this extra time for fluency, grammar, pronunciation, writing, professional Spanish, exam preparation or another specific topic.
This is a strong option if you want a more intensive study rhythm, have limited time available, or need Spanish for a specific academic, professional or personal reason.
Intensive 30 + 5
Level: AllThis course combines the Intensive 30 group course with 5 private Spanish lessons per week. That means 6 group lessons per day plus 1 private lesson per day, Monday to Friday.
The group lessons give you a very intensive Spanish learning rhythm, while the private lessons allow you to work on specific areas that need extra attention. These can include fluency, grammar, writing, pronunciation, business Spanish, medical Spanish or other personal learning goals.
Because the Intensive 30 includes additional conversation-focused group lessons, students should have at least a lower elementary level of Spanish. If you are an absolute beginner and want a highly intensive course, the Intensive 20 + 10 may be a better option.
