For English speakers stuck at B1

You speak Spanish
pretty well.

a medias

You've been stuck at the same level for years. It's not your memory, your age or your method and it's not the reason you think. In 12 weeks, we find it and fix it, until Spanish finally sounds like yours.

You understand more than you say

You can read the news, order dinner, ask for directions, get through a Zoom call if nobody speeds up.

You freeze when it counts

A colleague switches to Spanish over coffee and you're a deer in the headlights. You nod, you smile, you answer in English.

You've tried everything

Apps, podcasts, another grammar book, a teacher who just chatted with you for an hour. Each felt like progress. None of them moved you.

You're still at B1

Years later, you're still here, wondering if this is as far as you go. It isn't.

The problem was never more grammar.

Most people stuck at B1 already know enough Spanish. What they don't have is a version of themselves that speaks it. So every time it matters, they fall back on English the crutch that always works. My classes are built to change that. Demanding, but on your side.

Step 01

Find the real block

In our first session we pinpoint exactly where and why you freeze. Not your level, your pattern.

Hi, I'm Cristina.

I also know the other side. I've built a life abroad in a language that wasn't mine yet the frozen smile in meetings, the jokes that arrive three seconds late. That's why I don't just teach Spanish. I help you become someone who speaks it. My classes are demanding, and I'm on your side the whole way.
