"I think learning from Sra. Morato is best because you have access to videos she pre-recorded, and if you have any questions, you can ask her during a conversational class or a study hall. She is very patient, and this class has made me consider studying linguistics in college!"

- Colin, Spanish Student


"Taking Spanish with Señora Morato has really helped me to begin to understand the Spanish language. I know this will help me in the future because I will be able to continue on in learning Spanish. Someday I might even be able to be bilingual which will help me in my career."

- James, Spanish Student


"My name is Alisha I am 13 and in 7th grade. Spanish is one of my favorite subjects this year!!!!! Sra. Morato is such an amazing teacher! She helps to encourage me when I struggle. What I really enjoy is that I actually have classmates that I can communicate with and relate to. Being homeschooled I don't usually have classmates, especially not that I can contact. It is encouraging to have fellow students, and a wonderful teacher, for this year, and hopefully years to come, to share joy and sometimes sorrow (but mainly JOY) with"

Frequently Asked Questions


How will the program help us stay on track? In the past we had a hard time sticking to a program and schedule. It’s too easy to fall behind and let things slide
This program gives the student a roadmap to success with a level of flexibility and a degree of accountability. Students can access the course, the lessons, tools, and activities any time, any place. Also, parents and students are able to record their progress and assessment results for each module and quarter. Students are able to build their grade as they move forward throughout the course. This makes grading easy to track and also to fulfill foreign language requirements.
What if my child gets frustrated after a few failures and tends to give up trying?
You may want to consider buying the course with the conversational classes. Speaking Spanish every week is proven to provide motivation and a meaningful experience.
If I buy ONLY the independent course without the conversational classes, can my child still learn the foundation of how to communicate in Spanish?
Yes! Every grammar lesson shows how to apply the concept. Also, there are video-conversations that students can watch and learn how to apply the language on their own or with another student.
If I buy the course with the conversational classes, what if my child is too shy, socially nervous to participate in the conversational classes?
In the past, some students started only observing or choose to participate only using the chat feature. Students are not seen on camera because only the audio feature is used during class. In addition, the learning environment of each conversational class is that our classes are a safe place to make mistakes, be encouraged and learn from each other.
What kind of live support does the Spanish 1 course with conversational classes offer?
Parents receive weekly emails from me for class updates and weekly learning focus. Parents and students can reply to the email. Also, live classes can be used to ask questions too. Biweekly study Hall hours (1st/3rd Thursdays 5:00 pm EST) and I have office hours every Thursdays 5:00- 6:00 pm EST.
What kind of checkpoints does the independent Spanish 1 course offer?
Weekly emails are sent to the student to remind them and help them stay focused and engaged through the course. In addition, students will receive study tips and strategies on how to overcome learning challenges.
How long the conversational classes last?
1 hour- 1:15 It depends on the class objective and speaking prompt and students preparation. All students are asked to participate and practice speaking regardless of their skills level. Every conversational class reviews previous skills and content. Every session builds up.
How do I select my conversational section?
As soon as you enroll your student, you need to complete the student's profile form. There you will select the section and secure your teen's spot. You will receive a phone call from me to revise the information to finalize the process. (please allow 48 hours)
How are the final written and spoken evaluations done?
The student is given a real authentic written and oral prompt to work on it with teacher guidance and support. With the use of technology, the student will complete the response and will be evaluated by the teacher. The evaluation aims to help the student know areas of improvements that need to be addressed to prepare him or her for the next level but also to know areas of strength he or she has. The teacher uses a proficiency rubric to show student and parent progress.
When are study Hall Hours?
Every Thrusday 5:00 pm EST Students will join live via Zoom.
What other material my student needs for this course?
I ask parents to buy a used textbook so students can use it a reference. My students find having a textbook useful. (Avancemos 1, McDougal Littell) Also, if the student needs extra practice I recommend buying a workbook for extra grammar practice and reading exercises. Avancemos! Spanish 1 Cuaderno pratica por niveles. The curriculum comes with guided practices for each module.
Can I pay the full tuition via PayPal?
Yes, please email me at info@Spanisheduationalsolutions.com for this option.

Can I watch a sample of your grammar video teaching?


A Program that fits homeschoolers' lifestyle

After an extensive consultation with parents, I was able to define and develop the exact packages of teaching and support that homeschooling parents want for their teens. It delivers everything your child needs to learn foundation level Spanish successfully.

  • You can choose the course with live conversational classes or without.
  • Both options offer teaching from a highly experienced native-speaking teacher and curriculum designer with a Master’s degree in education.
  • Both options give students the chance to study independently at their own pace, time and place, providing just the right amount of structure, checkpoints, practices and assessments they need to see progress.

My story and answering to the need:

My name is Karim Morato. I have homeschooled three children, and as a homeschool parent I know the feeling of not wanting to hold back your children from learning subjects that you have limited knowledge about. For example, I am not a mathematically-minded person, and I haven’t studied math to an expert level. So as my children progressed in their education, I started buying self-directed mathematics courses with videos and textbooks for them to study. It all seemed to be going OK, until my children took some tests and I realized that their skills levels were surprisingly low considering all the hard work they’d put in!

You may not be fluent in Spanish and you maybe do not feel equipped or able to teach Spanish at the required level. In those cases, you may be looking for a course that can give you a level of support and is affordable and that you can trust to give your child the education he or she needs. This is why I created this Spanish 1 course to make Spanish language learning more accessible for homeschooled students and to support YOU the parent.

I am a certified Spanish instructor, native speaker with a M.A.Ed. in online learning and curriculum Instruction. 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.
