Widney is great at customizing my instruction and finding supplemental materials to make sure that I am continuing improving my reading, speaking, and listening skills.

I was skeptical at first of taking online Spanish lessons because I was not sure how the payment process worked or how fast I would be able to build my speaking skills. However, I have been thrilled with the whole process! The payment plans are reasonable and easy to understand. Coach Ana has definitely helped me through my Spanish journey. I have been taking lessons for about 4 years now. When I started I was not a beginner because I had taken Spanish in high school and some in college so I could read and understand a bit. Although, my speaking skills were terrible. Thanks to Coach Ana she has really helped me build my vocabulary and speaking confidence. I can finally have parent teacher conferences in Spanish! This was one of my goals that I wanted to accomplish. Furthermore, Ana is so patient with me. There are times where I really do not understand a new grammar point and we work through it together until I understand it better. Moreover, I love how the lessons build upon each other and brings you back to old grammar points to refresh your memory. I highly recommend Spanish55 to anyone! Give it a try!

Spanish55 is a fantastic company filled with kind, thoughtful, and timely employees. My teacher was Widney. She is nothing short of an amazing teacher and person. Widney is one of the best teachers I have ever had in general. She mixes humor, personality, care, diligence, and knowledge perfectly. Her teaching style is patient (very patient with me in the beginning!), kind, she knows when to interrupt and when to let me finish the sentence before giving corrections. She knows what exercises to assign me to help me the most. I see how much I am progressing everyday because of her help, and it’s crazy to see how far I’ve come since beginning. Learning a new language takes a lot of effort but Widney knows how to make the learning fun too. I highly recommend Spanish55 to students of any level; I have had nothing short of a 5 star experience with them!

I have been with Spanish55 and with Coach Esther for a little more than 2 years. I retired a few years back and decided that it was finally time to learn to speak Spanish. After retiring I began volunteering at a local shelter. Initially I was only able to work with those that spoke English. Now, routinely I am able to interact with individuals that speak only Spanish. This has allowed me to form rewarding relationships and to be much more effective. The ability to converse in Spanish has opened doors to individuals and cultures that were inaccessible to me previously. This experience has been incredibly rewarding. I would not have these experiences or opportunities without Spanish55, and more specifically without Coach Esther. She is probably the best teacher that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. She is kind, funny and incredibly organized. She knows when to push and when not to. And it seems that through Spanish55 she has access to endless resources. I can't imagine a better or more efficient way to learn Spanish.

I am an administrator for a local public health agency in a small midwestern town in rural America. I have been managing people and entities for over 30 years. I took Spanish in college, but that was during the Reagan administration. As I tell folks everyday - I am a dinosaur. So why is an old guy like me taking Spanish classes with Spanish55? I believe in service to others, the power of the spoken word and the need to personally engage our fellow man. At work I have people walking through our doors every day in need of services and I am unable to adequately engage them all because of a language barrier. So, let's fix it. I did a little research and found Spanish55. I liked their concept of teaching one-on-one with a personal instructor with flexible scheduling and affordable rates. I signed up and was assigned to Widney as my teacher. I use teacher as that is exactly what she is – a teacher. From day one I was struck by her patience, kindness, knowledge, and ability. She has taken me on a journey not only through learning the language but also the culture and history surrounding it. I don’t know how she remains so positive and encouraging after teaching a dinosaur like me over the course of this past year, but she is as kind and patient with me today as she was day one. Let me say this, as patient as she is with me, she also pushes me to learn each class, which is exactly what I wanted. Widney and Spanish55 have been an awesome experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking a challenge and has a desire to learn regardless of your age or aptitude. It works.

Coach Libny was amazing. The classes are well structured, the pace adjusts as you go through the lessons which was very helpful when certain topics needed to be repeated to fully learn them. I am well on my journey to being fluent and attribute it to Spanish55. I tried many other methods before this and nothing beats one on one training. Highly recommended.

I spent many years studying on my own without becoming proficient. After a little under 2 years with Spanish55 I now have conversational skills and am on my way to fluency. Sofia is an excellent teacher

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Spanish55 over the last (almost) 2 years! A huge reason why I have stuck with lessons is because of my coach, Coach Jacob. I have taught previously and know how much it takes to be an excellent teacher. Jacob is always prepared- either to push ahead or for targeted review if it has been awhile since a lesson or if I haven’t had time to study. There also is never any judgment regarding a lapse in time so I don’t feel embarrassed but rather empowered to keep going even when life gets busy. I have been thoroughly impressed by his ability to understand with subtle intuition exactly what I need in a lesson and I have always felt comfortable asking for more help or to have something explained further. The most important thing for me when starting out was to feel comfortable with the coach so that I would be confident enough not to be self conscious to make mistakes and ask questions. I have always felt comfortable and enjoy my lessons every time! My experience with customer service/customer care has also been amazing. They are very responsive and quick to easily help with any issue I have had. I can’t recommend Spanish55 enough. The entire process in every aspect has been above and beyond what I hoped for.
