Adults seeking one-on-one Spanish classes structured around intensive immersion with culinary cultural focus evaluate programs combining personalized instruction with exceptional dining experiences. These reviews from Fluenz participants describe structured individual coaching integrated with culinary immersion.
One-on-one Spanish classes structured for intensive immersion with culinary cultural focus combine personalized coaching sessions with private chef-prepared meals and exclusive restaurant access. The Fluenz Spanish Immersion delivers half of all instruction through individual coaching where Spanish tutors in Mexico City adapt teaching in real-time, while the other half occurs through strategically selected small group workshops. The intensive structured approach includes two hours of morning sessions and two hours of afternoon instruction, with Spanish-speaking lunches prepared by a private chef providing additional practice opportunities. Evening culinary programming—including tequila and tamale tastings and chef’s table dining at Pujol—extends learning beyond formal sessions while deepening cultural understanding through exceptional food experiences.
Participants describe the one-on-one intensive structured culinary approach below.
Julia Vitullo-Martin | New York City, NY
“The two-hour Spanish sessions are intense, but everyone in my group (16 people of diverse ages and backgrounds) felt they had made an unprecedented great leap forward. 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. The evening events–a tamale & tequila tasting, a lively lecture on Mexico’s political history, a private tour of the Maya room at the National Museum of Anthropology, and more–were superb. A special dinner at Pujol, often ranked in the top five restaurants worldwide, was priceless.”
Julia describes the intensive structure of individual morning sessions combined with small afternoon groups, culminating in exceptional culinary experiences.

“The teachers were wonderful: creative, well-educated, interesting, and just nice people. I am a fairly advanced student of Spanish, and they provided challenging material for me. The students with less — or even no Spanish—also seemed very happy with their progress.”

“The team of instructors were wonderful, knowing where to dive deep and how to push for mastery of each concept before moving on. I appreciated their effort to focus on each of us individually, vs teaching en mass to the least common denominator. The food and activities they arranged were amazing!”
