Is your homeschooled teen ready to keep learning Spanish?
Is your student familiar with basic Spanish rules and knows the present tense?
Is your teen starting to conquer simple conversations and ready to transition to level 2?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, your student is likely ready for the next step. Your teen is at the point of moving beyond Spanish basics, like repetition and basic vocabulary, into more fluent conversation, descriptive phrases, and more advanced tenses.
But just because your student is ready for the next level doesn’t mean you feel ready to teach it. High-level Spanish can intimidate the homeschool parent and with good reason.
Teaching a foreign language requires a lot of work, especially when you’re the one putting together the curriculum, finding resources, and learning it yourself.
If you’re overwhelmed, you’re not alone. This course can help you and your teen!
You don’t have to do it by yourself.
You don’t have to stress about the foreign language requirement for graduation.

Hola, my name is Karim Morato,
a certified Spanish instructor, a native Spanish speaker and an MA Ed in online learning and curriculum instruction.
As a homeschool parent myself, I know the feeling of not wanting to hold back your children from learning subjects that you have limited knowledge about. It was that way for me with mathematics, so I invested in outside resources, teachers, and programs to support my children as they learned higher level math.
You may not be fluent in Spanish, or you may not feel equipped or able to teach Spanish at the required level and that’s okay. In those cases, you may be looking for a course that can give you a level of support, is affordable and that you can trust to give your child the education he or she needs.
This is why I created my online Spanish program – to make Spanish language learning more accessible for homeschooled students and to support YOU, the parent.
My online Spanish 1 course will help you to homeschool your child so they can gain the confidence they need to speak Spanish and become bilingual.
Our mission is to support homeschooling parents, educate bilingual families, and help students learn Spanish better and fall in love with the Hispanic culture.
