Here’s what the “group” classes actually look like: Julia Vitullo-Martin, a writer from New York, got paired with exactly one other student—a 16-year-old from California. That’s it. Two people. Morning sessions? Completely individual, just her and a coach. kyt2013 from Houston had the same setup: mornings alone, afternoons with one other learner.

“The morning sessions are individual–just you and your coach–and the afternoon sessions are designated ‘group,’ which in my case was just one other person. My lone compañera was a 16-year-old high school student from California, who was huge fun.”

“My wife and I had private or semiprivate lessons twice a day which definitely stretched our abilities and gave us a lot of new confidence and skill.”

Lawrence F and his wife from Red Deer got private or semiprivate twice daily. Nobody’s sitting in a classroom with 15 other people trying to conjugate verbs while the teacher works through a textbook. The structure is designed so you can’t hide—which sounds terrifying but turns out to be why people actually progress.

“I appreciated their effort to focus on each of us individually, vs teaching en mass to the least common denominator.”

Cara W from Dallas specifically called out how they don’t teach to “the least common denominator”—meaning if you’re advanced, you’re not stuck waiting for beginners to catch up, and vice versa.
