Outstanding coach, backed by organized staff, is helping me reach my goal
If you are serious about making lasting gains in speaking and understanding Spanish, I recommend Spanish55. For the past six months, I have met twice weekly with my excellent coach, Francis Baeza, and my comfort and fluency in Spanish continue to improve. It's not an overnight change--you have to stay in it for the long haul. Coach Fran and Spanish55 are supporting me all the way, custom-tailoring sessions based on themes and situations that I choose based on their relevance to my needs.

This is an awesome company
This is an awesome company! They have awesome communication and my coach, Atenea, is fantastic. It has been so helpful having someone to practice speaking with in a nonjudgmental way. Yes, you still have to do grammar, but Atenea is always willing to chat about any topic. I work in a field with some specialized vocabulary, and she has been helpful with it. I would recommend her to anyone.

Why I use Spanish55
I first selected Spanish55 a year ago because they were transparent about pricing. I'm still using their tutoring because of Coach Fran. She's teaching me conversional Spanish as well as the difficult stuff like subjunctive. She's patient, professional and definitely a core part of my Spanish journey.

If you want to learn spanish, this is your company!
I'm literally obsessed with this company. I've wanted to improve my spanish for years and never knew where to find the right fit for a class. I LOVE this! My instructor is amazing and I can book classes when it fits for my schedule. I'm learning quickly because I'm having fun and can be consistent with the same instructor. Lastly, the company is so on top of everything. Very professional and anytime I have a question they have a quick answer from someone who is very nice, efficient, and professional!

Spanish55 with Coach Alberto is the answer to your language needs, seriously.
This week, I had a full-blown conversation in an Uber with a native Spanish speaker, and for the first time I just went for it. Was it a bit rocky? Sure, but I did it! I even cracked a joke in Spanish that made my driver laugh. There’s no better feeling! That moment was possible because of my incredible coach, Alberto. I’ve been working with him for about 2 ½ months, and I can’t thank him enough.
For sixteen years, I’ve been surrounded by Spanish (my husband’s first language is Spanish), but I simply could not and would not speak. I could understand some, but never form my own words, let alone conjugations or sentence articles. Alberto has helped me build a solid foundation. He’s incredibly patient, but also a genuinely fun and kind person who makes our 3x/week lessons something I look forward to.
I still have a long way to go, but in just two months I can already have basic conversations and I’m understanding more of what’s said around me at family gatherings. I’ve tried and abandoned countless methods over the years, and Spanish55 is the one that finally clicked.
To get here, I’ve been doing lessons three times per week, practicing with my husband, using flashcards, and occasionally dipping into Spanish apps, so about 5–10 hours per week of learning and practice. The progress has been amazing.
Spanish55 is absolutely incredible, and Coach Alberto is the best. I can’t wait to see where I’ll be in the next 6 months.... And in a year!

¡Hola, Kellie!
What you shared with us is wonderful, Kellie! That breakthrough moment in Uber is what it's all about, and we’re all celebrating with you! That feeling of making a joke and connecting with someone in a new language is the best.
It’s inspiring to hear about your journey over the last two and a half months. Your dedication to learning and your commitment to immersing yourself in the language outside of lessons are what truly make a difference. It’s wonderful to see how far you’ve come.
We love that you’re gaining the confidence to do what you never thought was possible and that you're unlocking new doors with your family. This is exactly why our coaches are here: to empower our students to find their voice and speak with confidence, even when it seems so out of reach.
We can’t wait to see all the progress you'll make in the coming months and years. ¡Sigue así!
