Not sure which
package is right?
Answer three quick questions and we’ll recommend the exact package for your goal and timeline.
Why are you learning Spanish?
In a group class
you get 20 minutes.
In a 2-hour group class with 6 students, each person gets roughly 20 minutes of actual speaking time. In a 1-hour private class at Vamos Toronto, you speak for the full 60 minutes. That’s the difference between practising and progressing.
100% speaking time
Every minute of every class you’re talking, responding, producing language. No watching others. No waiting your turn. Private lessons give you 3× more speaking time than any group format.
vs. ~20 min speaking in a 2-hr group classBuilt around your goal
Travelling to Colombia? Preparing for DELE? Need medical Spanish for your practice? Every class is planned around your actual reason for learning — not a textbook syllabus designed for the group’s average.
curriculum designed for you before session 13–4× faster results
Private instruction consistently delivers results 3–4× faster than group classes at the same number of hours. No time wasted on content that doesn’t apply to you. Every mistake corrected in real time.

available every day, 9am – 9pmNo pressure. No audience.
The biggest barrier to speaking a new language is the fear of looking foolish in front of others. Private lessons remove that barrier completely. Make mistakes, ask basic questions, experiment — privately.

Your reason.
Your class.
Every private lesson is built around the specific reason you’re learning Spanish. What’s yours?
Travelling to Latin America
You’ve booked the trip. Your teacher builds a crash course around exactly where you’re going — restaurants, transport, hotels, markets, social situations.
Start with Quick Start (5 hrs) →Career & professional growth
Spanish is the #1 in-demand language in Toronto job postings. Bilingual roles average $92,966 CAD. Your class is built around meetings, emails, presentations, and client conversations in Spanish.
Start with Total Immersion (20 hrs) →Medical & healthcare professionals
Over 400,000 Spanish speakers in the GTA. Your private class focuses on patient communication, clinical vocabulary, intake, consent, and the specific situations you face in your practice.
Request medical Spanish program →DELE exam preparation
DELE B1, B2, or C1 requires specific exam technique — reading strategy, essay structure, oral preparation and timed mock exams. Your teacher is DELE-trained and covers all 5 components.
Start DELE prep (20+ hrs) →Connecting with family or heritage
Learning the language of your partner, partner’s family, or your own heritage. Classes focus on the vocabulary and register you’ll actually use in those specific relationships.
Start any Monday →Relocating to Spain or Latin America
Moving in 3–6 months? Your programme covers the language AND practical daily life — renting, banking, healthcare, and the regional accent of wherever you’re going.
Start Fluency Sprint (50 hrs) →University & academic Spanish
Semester abroad, graduate school application, academic essay writing. Your teacher covers the register and vocabulary of academic Spanish — very different from conversational instruction.
Start academic Spanish →Returning after a long break
You studied Spanish years ago and lost most of it. Private lessons are the fastest reactivation method — your teacher identifies what’s dormant vs. what needs rebuilding.
Book free placement first →You pick.

Before & after
private lessons.
Here’s what students said before they started — and what they could do after their package.
“I could understand some Spanish but froze the second I had to speak. Clients would switch to English and I felt I was missing opportunities.”
Confidently using Spanish with Latin American clients at work. Meetings, emails, and calls in Spanish. No switching back to English.
“I was stuck at intermediate for years. Groups classes weren’t moving the needle. I understood everything but couldn’t advance my speaking.”
Advanced from intermediate to advanced in 2 months of intensive private lessons. Now planning a full immersion stay at the Málaga campus.
“I started from absolute zero. I didn’t know a single word of Spanish. I was nervous about taking private lessons as a complete beginner.”
Finished A2 level in 2 months of 1-on-1 private lessons. Having real conversations with native speakers. Goal fully achieved.
“12 weeks of private Spanish classes plus 4 weeks of group. My private instructor Juan was superb — improved my grammar and vocabulary in a genuinely encouraging environment.”
“We are a family of six relocating to Spain. Vamos organized private lessons perfectly for all of us, adapted to every age and level. We are genuinely ready for our move.”
“Son enrolled in Toronto private lessons, then we continued in Buenos Aires. He earned a diploma and 6 credits. More affordable than other large schools — and far better quality.”

How is private instruction different from group classes?
▼
In a 2-hour group class with 6 students, each student gets roughly 20 minutes of speaking time. In a 1-hour private class, you speak for the full 60 minutes. Private instruction is 3–4× faster because no class time is wasted on content that doesn’t apply to you and every correction is immediate.
Is private Spanish worth it compared to apps or YouTube?
▼
Apps and YouTube cannot correct your pronunciation in real time, respond to your specific questions, or adapt to your professional context. For a specific goal — a trip, a job, an exam, a client relationship — private instruction with a certified native teacher is the most efficient investment available. Results typically arrive 3–4× faster than self-study at the same number of hours.
