I have been taking private Spanish classes from Vive La Experiencia for over a year now. I had…read morebeen searching and searching for a "serious" school for adult learners of Spanish as a second language that would also accommodate my tight work schedule and commute. This school is a hidden gem in Campbell. They bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule, offering me Saturday afternoon classes, and I have been extremely impressed by the professional level of instruction I have received by all the instructors. Before studying here, I had tried to learn Spanish at several other community schools for adults. I was constantly disappointed that the instruction was too relaxed at the other schools, there was barely any homework or progress exams, and most of the other students did not end up progressing past the beginning level. When I started studying at Vive La Experiencia, I could speak mostly only in the present tense, and had just started to learn the imperfect and preterit. Now I am fairly comfortable with the past, future, compound tenses such as present/past perfect, passive voice, and I am in the midst of further practicing the subjunctive, including imperfect and past subjunctive. My grammar, speaking, and comprehension have grown by leaps and bounds. Moreover, they tailor the instruction to your preferences. I wanted a lot of homework and progress exams, as well as emphasis on covering grammar, so I got it. Of course, all students are different and your class could be very different, depending on your preferences. During class, we also spend time listening to and translating popular and classic Latin American music, watching and discussing video/movie clips, and learning about cultural traditions such as holidays in Mexico and Latin America. I have had the opportunity to participate in several hosted social events where I was able to meet many native Spanish speakers, as well as other learners like myself. Of course, the highlight was my participation in the Immersion Trip to Puebla, Mexico in July of 2019. It was my first time ever visiting Mexico, and I was absolutely in love with the the city, the people, and the FOOD! I heard Spanish spoken everywhere and was astounded by how much I could already understand and communicate with the locals. We visited many churches, parks, historical sites, markets, and the best restaurants. It was great getting to bond with other students like myself. If you are looking to learn Spanish at any age (I am 44), I highly recommend classes at Vive La Experiencia. Your eyes will be opened to a whole new world of culture and experiences!

I've been taking Spanish classes here for about three years. Before that I was trying to learn…read moreSpanish In adult schools. Even though they are a bit cheaper I was getting frustrated by the large classes (often up to 15 people). It's hard to progress in these big groups, especially if you want to get further than beginner level. Rosario and her team are doing a great job teaching the language in small to medium sized classes (3-6 students) and are trying to make sure that students get the most out of the class. You can also get private tutoring. Levels range from beginner to advanced. I like that it's not only about grammar, but also about the culture which is important to understand some aspects of the language. Hopefully I'll be able to become bilingual one day, it's still a long way, but I feel this school is my best chance to get there some day.

Perhaps the BEST language tutor you will EVER find! I have high school age twin sons who both have…read morestruggled academically. One is blind and the other has learning difficulties. I was concerned about the high school 2 year foreign language requirement, so I wanted to find a summer program for both boys to prepare them for Spanish. I searched everywhere. I needed to find someone who was able and willing to work with each of my son's special needs. When I contacted Spanish Bay Area, I explained our needs to Luis and he responded very positively and began to work with me to put a program together for my sons, which included having all of the lessons transcribed into Braille for my blind son. Luis is VERY organized and structured with his lessons, but he is also very personable and engaging with his students. He set-up the lessons, so that when they were working from a printed worksheet, my blind son had the Braille copy to reference. He was very patient and helpful with my other son, who often has difficulty retaining information. Luis taught in a style that was both engaging and effective for both boys. I cannot overstate what an amazing Spanish tutor that Luis is. He is skilled, educated, organized, caring, personable, trustworthy, engaging, structured, effective, creative and passionate about what he does...he is just a natural teacher!!

I appreciate SJLC's wide variety of language offerings and flexibility with online, hybrid, and in-person classes. I'm looking forward to taking more classes!

The sessions we had together are alway full of joy. Her rate is very reasonable and you pay after the tutor sessions. Also, she provide free evaluation session, and of course, Skype tutoring. I usually prepared the material I would like to go over and brought to her. She is totally okay with that and allowed me to focus on things that I would like to work on first.That's also the way I like, and that's why I favor a tutor than a formal ESL class. Personally, I recommend doing both in the same time. Enroll in a formal group pronunciation class and have Shannon help you to practice your weakness. I run twice a week with her in a month, and I clearly see an improvement on my speech. How can I tell it? Well, now SIRI (finally) understands me LOL. Try to pronounce "sin city" to SIRI, and if it shows "seeing city", well... it's the time to work on your pronunciation.

The process to sign up and to get an assessment was easy and the staff is very helpful. My daughter first hesitated going to math school over the summer but she truly likes it.

Also, very easy and confident in terms of week to week scheduling. Pricing is right too. Don't hesitate. If your child needs help with math go here! Also, while you wait there are lots of restaurants in the shopping center to choose from.

He started Mathnasium in 2nd grade, but over time, he didn't struggle as much. Mathnasium became more of an extracurricular activity than just tutoring. Of course, like most kids, he wanted to quit at some point. He finally got his wish before his senior year of high school. Looking back, I now truly see the value of this extracurricular. He was good at math, though I wouldn't say he was exceptional, and I always thought he didn't particularly enjoy it. Surprisingly, when he was a sophomore in college, he decided to pursue a minor in engineering--or even math. I guess his years at Mathnasium served him well after all! I wanted to share this because math tutoring isn't just about helping your child in the moment--it can have a lasting impact on their academic confidence and future opportunities.
