Award-Winning Spanish Lessons in Atlanta, GA

Varsity Tutors is a powerful educational resource for students of all ages and ability levels looking for professional Atlanta Spanish lessons. Spanish is among the world's most popular languages, being spoken in Spain, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, and the Caribbean as an official language. There are 45,000,000 Spanish speakers in the United States alone, to say nothing of the 430 million who speak it worldwide. If you want to learn a language that you'll be able to actually use, look no further than Spanish.

There are a plethora of reasons why you might want to start studying Spanish. The language's sentence structure and grammar are the most comparable of English out of the Romance languages, making it a good option for local high school students at schools such as Westlake High School or North Atlanta High School. Students at colleges such as Georgia Tech or Emory University may also want to take Spanish to fulfill their general ed requirements for similar reasons. Employers are also increasingly valuing Spanish in the workplace, so career-oriented individuals may take it to enhance their resume. Travel aficionados may study Spanish to get more out of their trips, and prospective scholars may want to learn Spanish to have access to more primary documents. If you want to study Spanish just for the fun of it, that's perfectly acceptable too.

While there are many good reasons to study Spanish, actually learning it can prove difficult. Roughly 75 percent of Spanish words have Latin roots, creating many cognates (or words that mean the same thing in two different languages) with English. However, there are also "false cognates," or words that sound like they should be the same as an English word but have completely different definitions. If you feel like you could use some help expanding your Spanish vocabulary skills or overcoming any other learning obstacle, we can find you an Atlanta Spanish tutor in as little as 24 hours.

What skills can I concentrate on during Atlanta Spanish lessons?

One of the best things you can do to improve your Spanish is to practice it as often as you can. Working with an Atlanta Spanish tutor is an effective way to force yourself to set aside some time each week to try and improve. Your instructor can provide feedback on what you're doing, giving you a sense of what you do well as well as any areas you could improve. Your teacher can also show you exactly what fluent Spanish sounds like, helping you grow accustomed to conversational speeds. In fact, advanced students might have entire sessions where everything is in Spanish, though beginners can ease into that.

Working with a professional instructor can also help you work on your written Spanish skills. Many students studying a foreign language associate outlining with their English and social studies courses, but it works just as well in Spanish. Your instructor can also provide feedback on your work so that you know what you could improve moving forward.

For example, you might find that you have a hard time with the minute details of Spanish grammar. All Spanish nouns are assigned a gender, either masculine or feminine. Which category a particular word falls into affects any adjectives modifying it in a sentence, meaning that you need to know what is what. The general rule of thumb is that nouns ending in "o" are masculine while "a" means feminine, though there are some exceptions that need to be memorized manually.

Many Spanish language learners also study Spanish history or culture as a supplement. These topics are more like social studies than learning a language, so be prepared to approach them in a different manner. For example, watching a documentary about Spanish explorers can make studying more engaging.

How do your Atlanta Spanish lessons work?

Varsity Tutors offers two types of services for students studying Spanish. First, we provide online Spanish classes that allow you and your classmates to study the language under the supervision of a knowledgeable instructor. We vet every instructor we partner with, so you can trust that you're getting a great communicator with fluent Spanish skills. Our exclusive live virtual platform also facilitates real-time interaction, ensuring that asking for help is as simple as raising your hand.

You can also talk to your peers on our platform, and that's a good thing. Hearing a wide variety of accents and dialects can provide a more realistic simulation of what being in a Spanish-speaking country would be like. You can also work together to foster a collaborative learning environment that may make it easier to develop a more comprehensive understanding of Spanish. Best of all, studying in a group allows you to split the bill, making formal Spanish instruction more affordable for everyone. Of course, you can also set aside private study time with your teacher if you ever need extra help.

That said, working with a private Atlanta Spanish tutor is the best way to receive individualized attention. Your instructor can design study sessions around your unique needs to help you make the most of time spent studying. You're also free to study at your own pace, whether that means moving quickly to keep sessions engaging or slowing things down to foster more complete understanding.

We also try to make private study sessions as convenient as possible. If you choose to meet your tutor online, you'll study on our proprietary Live Learning Platform that uses powerful features such as video chat functionality to bring face-to-face sessions anywhere with a good internet connection. This is great, as it means you never need to worry about traffic or the cost of gasoline to get to your sessions. Alternatively, we can match you with a local instructor who can meet whenever and wherever you would prefer.
