Julia Vitullo-Martin got paired with a 16-year-old high school student from California for her afternoon sessions. She described the kid as “huge fun”—not intimidating, not making her feel old, just fun. The age spread in Risa B’s cohort went from early teens to someone in her eighties.

Anne H identified herself as a senior citizen and noted the age range ran from high schoolers to “people like me.” She’s fairly advanced in Spanish and got challenging material—nobody treated her differently because of age.

The instruction is individualized anyway—morning sessions are one-on-one, afternoon “groups” are typically just one other person at a similar level. You’re not performing in front of a classroom of judgmental teenagers.

“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.”
