"My career as a language professional didn’t emerge from a life-long passion for languages.
It started as a frustrated student."
- Chelsea
I spent two years in Puerto Rico and couldn’t learn Spanish. I tried all the traditional methods with books, group classes, grammar exercises, and watching movies in Spanish. The problem was the language I was studying wasn’t the same language that the people were speaking in the streets.
"I needed a different way to learn Spanish, and fast."
​
With my low-level Spanish skills, I moved to Spain to both teach and learn. I taught English while studying a master’s degree. I found that once I was able to engage a little in conversation my Spanish improved greatly, though not everyone was patient enough to speak with me on my level. It was hard to keep up with the flow of conversation.
​
"I understand the struggle students have in finding efficient language learning programs, and the frustration of wasting a lot of time in the wrong one."
​
For this reason, I developed the strategy that makes the Convo Class program unique. It is a much more efficient use of time to practice with a professional than to waste hours on apps and exercises but still feel too nervous to speak.
This is just a small part of my story. Schedule a free trial class with me to learn more about me and how my classes will take your English to the next level.
