We have all the ¡Avancemos! and ¡Exprésate! ebooks from Holt McDougal online learning to utilize during the classes free!
Spanish tutors from across the United states assisted in developing the Avancemos and Exprésate curriculum and grammar material.
¡Avancemos! and ¡Exprésate! provide building blocks for useful communication in Spanish.
They set specific learning goals by using frequent self-checks and Spanish practice activities for specific levels. They nurture learning a foreign language by breaking it down into manageable segments and revising the previously taught material, then reviewing at the end of each lesson unit.
Our tutors can easily assist your child, providing them with personal tutoring covering the same materials as used in their schools. We can review and assign homework or help them prepare for a Spanish level test, springboarding your child to the top of the class!
