Working professionals sometimes hire private tutors: one or two sessions weekly from home. It’s convenient but inefficient. One week of immersion produces transformation that months of private tutoring don’t.
jordanmphillips quantified this explicitly: “I learned more in one week than I would have in years of attending Spanish classes at home in Austin.” Years of weekly classes versus one week—that’s the efficiency comparison. She’d done both; immersion won decisively.

“I am a beginner beginner in Spanish (I had only completed Fluenz online level 1 before coming) and I learned more in one week than I would have in years of attending Spanish classes at home in Austin. It is really intensive, but somehow they made it very enjoyable.”

Why? Immersion intensity. Kathzvi noted “3 hour classes flew by”—continuous intensive instruction builds momentum. Private tutors meeting weekly mean you forget context between sessions. Immersion means continuous development.
