      Empirical tutor I am a person who loves learning and therefore teaching, I like to help other people learn and be part of that beautiful experience of mastering a new language. I am committed to what I do and I enjoy doing what I like the most, which is teaching, and what better way to do it than in a practical and fun way.

      Why choose Endy E.
      "I have completed three lessons with Endy and already feel much more confident. I have satisfactory reading levels but struggle to communicate as I have only used digital apps. Endy only speaks in Spanish which means I have to make sure I'm ready and prepared for the lesson. It's a great way to learn. I have an okay grasp of Spanish when hearing it slowly and, although I don't get all words, I do understand the gist which helps in these sessions. Endy is really good at explaining the reasons for the language and also correcting my Spanish as we go. Whilst we essentially speak two separate languages I feel the communication between us is good and that's based on how Endy is able to break down the language into a simple format. I'm looking forward to seeing how much I progress in the coming months. I have no doubt I will be able to have a full conversation with Endy by the end of the year."

I told Mimi I wanted to learn Spanish to be able to speak more comfortably with my fiancé’s family for our wedding (since he’s half Honduran) and she’s tailored our lessons to be wedding themed (which is awesome)!

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I skill up on Spanish in San Jose, CA and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have four primary possibilities for learning Spanish interactively in San Jose, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your other option can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can choose a private Spanish tutor in San Jose, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local San Jose, CA and online Spanish tutors.

After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Spanish instructor?
