Language and Learning Services

There has never been a more important time to learn Spanish than now. Around 52 million people speak Spanish in the U.S, and that number is rising rapidly ahead of any other non-English language. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, and based on an analysis of cultural, economic and diplomatic factors, Spanish topped the list of the British Council’s “Languages of the Future”.

Studio Spanish works with students and organizations to achieve proficiency in Spanish. Our core business offering is Spanish language and culture delivered through fun and engaging training and instruction. Kids who learn Spanish are more likely to have greater academic success and cultural intelligence. That will go a long way, especially if they learn at an early age. Whether you own a small business or work in a global corporation, utilizing Spanish communication best practices gives you a competitive advantage. Successful multi-national companies understand the importance of developing cultural intelligence and the benefits of cross-cultural learning solutions.

We know you’re busy. Kids have homework, extracurricular activities, sports, etc. Executives are managing sales departments and flying all over the place. Business owners are running businesses. We will accommodate your schedule, come to your office or home, and provide the instruction and training that is right for you. Our service delivery runs deep and is unmatched on the North Shore. Our educational and consulting services combine Spanish expertise with cultural competence to establish communication, connection, and results.

Our Services

Our services run deep and are backed by over ten years of experience.

Students

Studio Spanish offers a full Spanish immersion and educational program for children grades K – 5. Speaking a second language is an incredibly valuable skill for young children, as these young learners tend to test higher in language arts and math and show greater cognitive development. That sounds serious, but we know how to make teaching and learning Spanish fun!

Private Classes for Executives

Spanish has become increasingly important as a global business language, and multilingual skills are essential for building solid business relationships. We know executives have busy schedules and particular needs. We support these with on-site services, and we tailor our training and instruction to achieve your desired results.

Studio Spanish will help you develop your language skills for business with your clients, associates, and employees. Our customized Spanish language training focuses on your targeted goals, whether you are a beginner needing basic language skill sor you already speak Spanish and seek to expand your proficiency. Our Spanish for executives is developed specifically to help business professionals develop their oral communication skills.

English‐Spanish Translation

Studio Spanish provides expert English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translation services. We translate: training materials, organizational policies, marketing user manuals, financial reports, instruction leaflets, internal notes, medical translations, minutes of proceedings, administrative terms, website content, and more. Our best-in-class translators conduct rigorous proofreading to ensure accuracy, appropriate usage of the language, and on-point message delivery, and we complete the job within 2-3 business days.

Small Businesses

Small business growth and financial health largely depend on strong employee engagement. Therefore, communication is key because barriers can create confusion, conflict, and misunderstanding. As on-site liaisons, we help bridge the cultural and language gap between small business owners and Spanish-speaking employees. We teach owners/managers to train staff in Spanish, Hispanic customs and traditions, conflict resolution, and other cross-cultural communication best practices.

Middle School and High School

Whether your children are struggling or cruising with Spanish, we will provide the extra instruction they need to achieve their academic goals and succeed. In addition to helping your children with homework and prepping for tests, we teach them communication and cultural skills to optimize their learning experience, giving them the confidence to successfully transition to the next class level.

Spanish tutoring for high school students is guided by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, focusing on the following core practices:

Facilitate target language comprehensibility. Students and teachers speak, listen, read, write, view and create in the target language 90% of the time.
Guide learners through interpreting authentic resources. Present interactive reading and listening comprehension tasks using authentic cultural texts.
Design oral Interpersonal Communication Tasks. Teachers design and carry out interpersonal communication tasks for pairs, small groups, and whole class instruction.
Plan with backward design model. Instructors identify desires result then determine acceptable evidence then plan learning experiences and instruction.
Teach grammar as concept and use in context. Students focus on meaning before form.
Provide appropriate oral feedback: Oral corrective feedback is a tool for mediating learning and language development.

Adults

It’s never too late to learn a new language, and with more than 33 million Spanish speakers in the U.S., there is no better time to learn Español than now.
