  1. Why should I hire Tutor Companion?

Tutor Companion aims to provide you with a great learning experience. We specialize in teaching the Spanish language in a manner that is understandable, affordable and customized to your ability level. We provide you with an experienced bilingual, native-speaking, tutor who will stop at nothing to ensure your goals are met.

Various customization arrangements are available to meet your needs.  We offer both in-person and online tutorial services for all skill levels.

 

  1. How does the arrangement get started?

We will first conduct a short phone consultation with you to discuss goals and needs you might have. Common discussion topics include your level of proficiency in Spanish, areas of desired improvement, schedule, and how to best achieve your goals. We will then begin arranging a customized solution to ensure a great experience.

As a last step before starting, we will conduct a group conference call with both you and your tutor to establish a good working relationship and understanding of expectations.

 

  1. Where will my tutor be located?

For our in-person tutorial service, your tutor will be on-site with you to help you learn Spanish face-to-face.

For our online tutorial service, our bilingual native-speaking tutors are located in Colombia, where Spanish is the first language. Our tutors are also proficient in the English language. We have worked extensively with tutors from Colombia and find the accent to be the most neutral and best for teaching.

We always have an American supervisor available to discuss feedback or help with anything you need.

  1. What language will we use in class?

Classes are in Spanish. However, our teachers are bilingual and for beginners we offer help in English at any time.

That is no problem. However, we do ask for 24 hours cancellation notice, or your session will be charged.
