How online learning works at 121Spanish
Outline overview
Our Spanish teachers are located in various countries in Latin America. Teachers work on a fixed weekly schedule, so you can book the same tutor each time or are free to choose any teacher. Tutors work on different schedules; some maybe unavailable at your requested time. Our online booking system automatically calculates the time zone difference so you view all times in your local time. You can book your lessons using our online Spanish lesson appointments calendar.
Your first lesson is free. A class credit is automatically added to your account when you register with us for a 55 minute Spanish lesson. After your free trial, you pay only $13.99 (or even less - see discounts) for each additional Spanish lesson. There are no hidden costs involved with our program!
Your tutor will send the curriculum online before each lesson and also give you homework if requested.
You will need to have Skype installed which is free.
How to start your online Spanish lessons
- First, you need to register for your free trial lesson or sign up for a course and book appointments and still get an additional one hour free lesson.
- Click "Schedule Your Lessons". You will then be directed to a calendar where you can schedule your lesson. (Please include all contact info when you register, so we can contact you at the lesson time).
- You will be emailed a confirmation of this appointment and a reminder 30 hours before the lesson. At the arranged time be online ready for our instructor to start the lesson.
- Shortly before the class starts our teachers will email you the Spanish lesson plan or may send a link via Skype chat during the lesson with the grammar material.
- We have a huge online curriculum with five different levels and each time we will send you material for that class. For your first lesson we ascertain your proficiency level and assign you to the corresponding Spanish curriculum.
- The live video conference will begin using Skype for a 55 minute lesson; it is just like a personal Spanish class but with a larger distance between you and the teacher.
- During the lesson, pages of our curriculum are interactive, so both you and your tutor can see and make changes to the Spanish instantly.
We have made it as straightforward and easy as possible, so you get quality lessons at an affordable price.

Rules and guidelines for students

The student will be charged as normal for a 55 minute class while the teacher will make every attempt to contact the student. (We still have to pay our teachers, when you don't show online and wait for you.)
- 18 hours notice is required for canceling a scheduled class. Contact admin directly and we can usually avoid charging you for a class if possible.
- Students may be asked to be transferred to another teacher if for some reason their regular teacher is unavailable for lessons.
- Curriculum provided to the students shall remain the property of 121Spanish and shall not be copied for use other than with 121Spanish faculty.
