This is a wonderful online learning program. The curriculum is well thought out, and my tutor, Consuelo Ortega, was fantastic. She customized my lessons for me, and as a result I learned a lot! read more

I decided to commit to learning the Spanish language back during quarantine and dedicated almost 4-6 hours a day studying. Almost a year later, I found that between mobile applications and dozens of hours of telenovelas with terrible soap opera theme music (hahaha, no seriously), I still couldn't even have a basic conversation in the language. I have only been with Spanish Blackbelt for one term and my ability to understand and speak the language in conversation has grown exponentially. This program is very technical and intentional. The entire class is taught in Spanish and all questions are encouraged to be spoken in Spanish as well. I am not where I want to be in my Spanish goals yet, but I definitely rate Spanish BlackBelt 5 stars and highly recommend. I am looking forward to my next term and will come back to update review , con suerte en todo español! read more

I just completed the 2nd level of Conversational Spanish with Spanish Blackbelt. The class size is small making for good one-on-one time with the tutor. The online curriculum is thorough and explains concepts well. My tutor is very patient and I have noticed my own improvements in comprehension of specific concepts as well as increased vocabulary knowledge. The course I took met once a week for 2 hours and each week there were 2 chapters worth of homework. The more effort you put into the homework, the faster you'll improve, of course. If you're looking to increase your Spanish skills but have a full-time life, SBB is a really flexible way to do it. read more

Spanish Blackbelt offers the new language learner the opportunity to cater their desire to learn a language with the challenges of work, family and home, with a choice of scheduled learning. The course syllabus and the online learning center offer hands on study and access to information which reinforces study with your tutor. My tutor Elinor is terrific and as a native spanish speaker she exhibits the patience and the encouragement for my learning her native tongue. I would recommend highly. Thank you read more

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Excellent Spanish program. I have been enrolled as a student for the last couple of months, I am about to complete the first level. I will absolutely compete the program all the way until I get the "black belt" in Spanish :-) I learnt a lot of grammar, vocabulary, convo, etc. Highly recommended :) read more

Marie Elena was a great tutor. She made me feel very comfortable and my spanish has progresses so much. I am looking forward to continuing my spanish education with her. read more

I have had a great experience with Spanish Blackbelt! My instructor is Paula and she is spectacular! She is patient and really takes the time needed with her students. I love going to class especially bc of Paula. I am now entering Level 3 and just came back from Cuba. I was so impressed with myself and also so grateful I knew the amount of Spanish I did, bc I practiced so much and it really came in handy when traveling! I am very excited to keep advancing my Spanish and staying with Paula throughout this journey. read more

I really enjoyed my white belt classes. I looked forward every week to my meetings with Leonor. She was patient while I hacked up the language and kelp me on task. By the last week I can honestly say that I understood so much more about Spanish than I ever did. I can't wait to get my yellow belt. read more

I'm really enjoying these classes. I'm definitely understanding more Spanish every day. The content is organized and doesn't harp too much on grammar and weird-sounding verb tenses, like in high school. My tutor is excellent. She is very patient and will take the time to explain things. I would definitely recommend to a friend! read more

I just completed the first level of conversational Spanish with Spanish Blackbelt. My tutor was Eduardo Lopez. He was very patient with me and taught me a lot! Before taking this course, I was not able to have a conversation in Spanish at all. Now, I feel comfortable with speaking with Spanish speakers. I can't recommend Spanish Blackbelt enough. read more

Paula was a great tutor and I was very comfortable with her during our time together. I renewed for another session!

I really enjoyed the small group classes, and my instructor (Maria Elena) was excellent. Spanish Black Belt is a great value for the price. I highly recommend it! read more

I'm having an excellent experience with Spanish Blackbelt. I started at the beginning of the year on Duolingo everyday, I was gaining a good level of vocabulary but realized I would never open my mouth to speak it. My sessions with Claudia are giving me great results. The curriculum is structured so well, even the seemingly basic lessons are filled with information and lots of speaking. Everything comes together: pronunciation, phrasing, idiom, vocabulary. I will definitely continue. Claudia is fantastic, she manages to stick to the course and follow all my question detours along the way, always completing the lesson thoroughly. Although I originally had signed up for group class, I ended up taking White belt as private classes instead. I would very much recommend this to anyone starting out; I think the first levels will have the greatest variety of students and learners, and this is when you really need the personal attention and to move at your own pace. I am planning to wait until Orange level to go to a group class, when I know that all of the group members will be pretty serious and conversant. Another recommendation: do the homework. You get out what you put in for this class, don't waste it! Anyone who decides to sign up with Spanish Blackbelt, congratulations, you're going to learn alot. read more

Spanish Blackbelt is an excellent language school. The teachers/tutors are talented native speakers. The structure and curriculum is the best I've had (and I've attended classes at the New School, Instituto Cervantes, La Reina Sofia, etc.). My teacher, Maria Elena, makes each session delightful, with her sunny personality, patience and experience. My classes are in Manhattan, but I see they are in several locations. Five Stars!! read more

I have been a Spanish student for the past several years. I had been constantly disappointed spending thousands of dollars on college level courses, which focus on literature, instead of grammar and vocabulary development. I found Spanish BlackBelt on google and I am SO HAPPY that I did! The small group setting, grammar and vocabulary based lessons, and easy to follow curriculum is just what I was looking for! I highly recommend this program! read more

I have been learning spanish with Spanish Blackbelt for 4 months and I feel so much more confident in my ability to speak spanish. Thank you to my wonderful tutor Leonor. read more

I can not say enough good things about the Spanish Blackbelt program. I went through all levels with Maria and now am very comfortable speaking and understanding Spanish. I am very pleasantly surprised by what I was able to learn in just 2 hours per week. I looked forward to going to class every week because Maria made it fun! I would recommend this program to anyone looking to learn Spanish. read more
