Why This Works

Many online Spanish programs are "set it and forget it." They leave the student isolated and the parent responsible for the teaching. This course is different.

Structured Weekly Lessons: No more guessing what to do next.
Teacher Grading & Feedback: We handle the assessments so you don't have to.
Weekly Live Support: Real-time help to build speaking confidence and clarity.
Accountability: Fixed deadlines to ensure the credit is earned by the end of the year.

One of the things I really love about Sra. Morato's class is the homework videos. Anytime I can't figure something out and it's not in my textbooks, the videos always include it. -Niko K.

Take a Peek Inside the Course

Students love the live support Sessions!

They get unstuck quickly, connect with other learners, and leave feeling motivated to keep going.

I'm in Sra. Morato's live class, and I benefit greatly from the weekly meeting. One of the things I never used to do in my other Spanish classes was sit down and have a conversation in Spanish with anyone. So being able to do that once a week is very helpful for solidifying the current concepts in my memory.

Sra. Karim Morato - Language Coach

Originally from Guatemala, Sra. Morato is the visionary founder of Spanish Educational Solutions. She is a Spanish-speaking coach, and certified Spanish instructor with an M.A.Ed. in Online Curriculum and Instruction. With 16 years of experience teaching advanced and immersion Spanish classes in the public school system, she launched her Spanish Homeschool Curriculum in 2016. This K-12 online program is specifically designed to help homeschooling families foster bilingualism in their children and assist teens in fulfilling their foreign language requirements.

Sra. Priscila Salazar - Grammar Teacher

Driven by a passion to help students learn Spanish better by teaching and clarifying complex concepts. Sra. Priscila has dedicated the last ten years to educating, writing, and translating. She is committed to helping others effectively communicate their ideas in Spanish. Her journey began at 18 when North American friends inquired about the nuances of Spanish expressions. Although a native Mexican speaker, she realized she lacked explanations for these linguistic details. This sparked an intense self-directed learning quest, leading Sra. Priscila to study in depth Spanish grammar, spelling, syntax, and writing. When she is not creating lessons or writing she is tutoring students to help them thrive in their Spanish studies.

What parents and students are saying!

We love Señora Morato and her team, and we are so grateful to them for filling a gap in our homeschool education and enriching our lives with their presence and knowledge. This alleviated my stress as a homeschool parent always looking for quality educational resources, and it has been a truly wonderful experience for my kids. Thank you!

-Adriénne K.

Being able to fluidly talk in Spanish and have improvised conversations is my main goal in learning the language, and the live class has gotten me well on my way to that point.
