English for Spanish-speaking kids: the 8-week program

A guided 8-week English program with private 1-on-1 lessons and a new theme every week. Your child gets their own bilingual tutor, who teaches in English and can explain in Spanish when something is new. Start any week of the year, and pay only for the lessons.
