Online Spanish

How does your online Spanish work?

We have lots of awesome options depending on your family’s needs. All of our programs are conversationally based Spanish for beginner to intermediate learners and are FUN.

  1. Spanish I for kids and Spanish II for kids which are at-your-own-pace courses. Each is 15 weeks long and includes 2-3 lessons per week with worksheets, online flashcards and games, YouTube videos, quizzes, answer keys, and much more. 
  2. Spanish School Insider Membership – access to more than 15 live interactive Spanish classes per week with our teachers
  3. Spanish School Insider Elite Membership – access to all live classes per week plus your own individualized teacher and small-group instruction once per week. 
How will I access the online classes?
Once enrolled, you will receive access to an exclusive membership area where you will receive the schedule and the links to the live classes each week. The membership area is also where you will gain access to the recordings of the classes.
What if I miss a live class?
No problem! We record every single class and upload them into the membership area so you can watch them at your convenience. Some people even like to rewatch a class that they’ve viewed live just to gain some repetition!
What if my child has a question and needs individual help?
Each child will get all the individual attention required to learn, and be confident in their Spanish speaking abilities. Kids can ask as many questions that come up during or after each lesson right inside of the course – it emails Sarah directly and she is quick to respond! If they want immediate individualized attention, consider becoming a Sarah’s Spanish School Insider or Insider Elite, where your child will have access to their own Spanish teacher LIVE!
I have 2 kids I want to sign up. Do I pay for them both?
2 kids? 3 kids? 4 kids? This is the best part. Sarah’s Spanish School online Spanish courses and memberships are good for your whole FAMILY – just one price for your whole family (yes, that even includes you!) So, your children can do the classes together OR from different devices. And there is NO extra cost. Cool, right!?
Can my children participate together, even if they are not the same age?
Yes, absolutely! When you register for the classes, you get access to everything so it is a family membership. Your children can join the classes together on the same device or you can log in on multiple devices so they can participate individually but in the same class! It is up to you!
I want to learn too! Will this work for me?
Absolutely! It always sets a positive example and creates a unique bonding experience when children learn with their parents! Some families even make an event out of attending lessons together. Everyone brings their own notepad though… no copying answers ; ) The lessons, activities, and topics we cover can help anyone learn Spanish. Plus, with unlimited access to the lessons, you can watch and rewatch lessons as many times as needed.
My child is learning Spanish with a different program. Will this be a good addition?
That is awesome! And YES! The key to learning a new language is full immersion, repetition, and as much exposure to the language as possible! Sarah’s Spanish School Online is designed to work well in unison with other Spanish programs. Children will have the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned in other programs in a real-life interactive setting where they can get feedback and learn even more!
What are the times of the classes?
Our online courses you can do at your own time and schedule, because they are pre-recorded classes. We also have LIVE class options, and the class times for those are spread throughout the day (morning, mid afternoon, and early evening) in hopes that a few classes a week will work for your family. During the school year, we offer more than 15 live classes per week for our Sarah’s Spanish School Insiders, so you can attend ALL of them, only the ones your child is interested in, or as many as work with your schedule!
Are there any contracts or memberships that lock me into the membership?
Nope. Everything is month-to-month so you can cancel whenever you want
How do you ensure the safety of students while online?
Safety is our #1 priority, for our in-person and online classes. Only those who have registered and paid for the course have access to the exclusive membership area in which the links to the classes can be found. The links are created new for each week’s classes and put out right before the start of the week. During class time, the chat box where students can type/comment is continually monitored and any inappropriate behavior is addressed immediately which could include that particular student(s) being removed from the class.
How do I know what class to join based on my child’s ability/age?
When you register for the classes, you will have access to all of the classes. We have classes geared towards younger students that are slower paced, shorter and rely less on their use of the chat. We also have classes geared towards older students that are longer, faster paced and use more of the chat feature. We also have classes that are designed for all students together! Since you have access to all of the classes, you can try out each class and see which one is best for your child’s learning style and ability. If your child is younger and cannot read or write (or type) very well yet, you may want to try the younger students’ class first. If you need more help deciding, we are happy to discuss with you regarding your child.
What can I do to help my student practice between classes?
After each live class you attend, you will get an email from the instructor with a recap of what we did and what we learned. We will also supply you with lots of follow up activities such as online flashcards, games, YouTube videos, and worksheets! Furthermore, if your child attends class every day, or at least a few times a week, that is more than enough to get them acquiring Spanish FAST without any additional help from you.
What if my student is shy or can’t read/write/type very well?
That is totally OK! One of the benefits of learning online with us is that students who are shy or would not normally feel comfortable participating in front of peers or in a group are under no pressure. They can follow along and participate freely in the comfort of their own home as much or as little as they want to. It is OK to make mistakes or not pronounce something correctly the first several times. We provide a LOT of INPUT before students are expected to produce (just like when learning their first language). We just want students to feel comfortable, try their best, and have fun, and we remind students of this at the start of EVERY class!
What if I have a topic that I’d like covered in class or a suggestion for improvement?

Yes, we love feedback and ideas from students and their parents!  Please email us at online@sarahsspanishschool.com.  While we cannot guarantee that every suggestion will be implemented, we do take every suggestion into consideration and will make any change that we think will benefit all of our students to the best of our ability!  We love hearing from you, so please share what’s on your mind!

Principals

Thinking about bringing Sarah’s Spanish School before or after-school program or online program to your school? Here are some questions that administrators frequently ask before deciding to bring our Spanish program to their students. 

Why should students learn Spanish/why should we offer Spanish to our students?

Learning a second language not only helps students in the future with jobs, communication, and travel, but it also has so many benefits right now – improves self esteem, develops critical thinking skills, and improves cognitive abilities in so many other academic areas such as math, science, and English! Families look for schools that offer their student Spanish – we have had parents switch out of one school to another because one school offered our program and the other did not! 

How do you handle registrations? Do we have to do that?

All registrations are handled by us using our simple online registration system. Parents are directed to our website by the flyer (which is also created and printed by us) where they can get more information about the class, find their school, and register their child. Some schools have their own program registration systems, and we are flexible to let you use yours if you prefer!

How do parents pay?

Parents pay online when registering using a credit or debit card. They can pay in full, or we have payment plans available. Or if you want to take payments, you can! And we invoice you. 

What is the minimum class size?

The minimum class size is 5 and max class size is 15. If more than 15 kiddos wanted to do the program (which happens more often than not) we can look at doing the class 2 days or sending out 2 teachers on 1 day.

How do we let parents know about the class?

We will mail you a flyer to send home with each student. Also, some principals email the parents the link to register and put information on the class on the school’s website and Facebook page!

We are a title 1 school; do you offer any discount so that more families can afford the program?

Yes! We give all Title 1 schools a discount, as low as we can get it to, and also offer early registration discounts and sibling discounts

Are you insured?

Yes! We are fully insured and upon request will list your school or school district as additional insured up to $3 million.

Who are your teachers? Are they background checked?

Most of our teachers are either university students going to school to be teachers, native speakers who love to teach their own language, or certified teachers who want more hours to teach after-school. They are all thoroughly, three-tiered background checked through the county, federally, and the InstaCriminal National Alias. If the district requires that the teachers be fingerprinted, we make sure that happens. ​

We want to offer online Spanish to our students. Do you do that?

YES! And we give schools a 90% discount off of our regular priced online classes! Email sarah@sarahsspanishschool.com and she will get you all the details!

Have a different question that is not addressed here?

Email Sarah at sarah@sarahsspanishschool.com. She would be happy to answer any questions!
