The progress my son has made in Spanish has been amazing. His confidence has grown tremendously, and he's now excelling in his school lessons with excellent grades. We couldn't be happier with the tutoring experience. read more

Our son had wonderful experience at Step by Step Language. At first he was struggling at school learning a Spanish but Step by Step provided him with different learning techniques to capture his attention and make learning a new language fun! The staff is so loving and patient and most importantly they apply positive reinforcements throughout the sessions. We highly recommend their tutoring services. read more

We (my two daughters and I) took Spanish classes over the summer. The classes went very well. Buyer beware, thought: When school began and we had to stop, they continued to bill us (to the tune of $1000 per month) and refused to refund the money in spite of our having cancelled by phone and email in compliance with their own policy. DON'T USE THEM. Unprofessional and unethical. read more

My two kids have been taking Spanish lessons here for a while now and it wasn't until recently that I learned how well the classes are. Usually they disappear behind a door for an hour and reappear with a lollypop or small toy very enthusiastic and sometimes you question whether they are actually learning anything if they're having so much fun. But since we've been on quarantine recently, Step by Step has taken an online approach to learning via the Zoom platform so I can see the lesson happening and I've got to say - I'm very impressed. The fact that my kids love it and they are getting great instruction gives them a well deserved 5 star review! Thank you Roberto and team for all that you do. read more

Please be advised that you will not receive a refund for any reason. I signed my kids up (and paid) before the second surge of Covid cases. By the time they were supposed to attend the camp, there were only 2 other children signed up for the same week. The camp had moved to a small office with no outdoor activities. I don't believe that the camp was even held because there were no attendees! Roberto refused to do the right thing and refund my money. Ridiculous. read more

I'm a former Step by Step student who got weekly Spanish tutoring throughout middle and high school. I credit my confidence, fluency, and grammatical proficiency in Spanish in large part to the wonderful teachers I had there. I didn't exactly have the best introduction to the after-school classes -- my parents forced me to attend for the length of middle school and I resolved to quit as soon as I finished 8th grade -- but I quickly decided to go back to Step by Step in high school when I realized how much of a difference it made in my Spanish. Put simply, the unruly 30-student classes I had with overburdened Spanish teachers at school weren't going to help me improve. At Step by Step, talented teachers devote their entire attention to one or two students for the entire hour they are there. There's no rote memorization or busy work. There's also nowhere to hide. For a shy kid like me, it was exactly what I needed to build up the confidence to practice speaking a language I didn't feel fully comfortable with. And because of Step by Step's focus on conversation, I started to look forward to going to class. I knew that once I was there, I'd be spending most of my time talking to my teachers about anything -- swapping stories, sharing my plans for the future as college loomed, or, as I neared graduation, getting into abstract discussions with Adriana about our personal philosophies and the nature of happiness. The instructors I had at Step by Step poured so much of themselves into their lessons, and were so genuinely warm and caring, that I came to think of them as an extended family. I'm now a sophomore in college and a journalism student. I can't tell you how thankful I am to be able to conduct interviews in Spanish or what a useful skill that was as I applied for journalism internships in Miami this summer. As a sullen middle school student, I never wanted to go to Step by Step. And I never could have imagined how grateful I would be that I did. read more

Our two children, aged 7 and 3 have been attending weekly Spanish classes at Step by Step for almost 1 year. In this time it has been amazing to see their progress and growing comfort level in Spanish, given that we are not a Spanish speaking family (we speak in Hindi at home). Two things that have stood out for us as special are: 1) the hand crafted study materials that are so age appropriate, and 2) the passion put in by owners into what they do. Roberto must know every child individually and takes time to speak with the children and their parents. We are happy with the progress our kids are making and happy to recommend Step by Step to those wanting to give the gift of language to their children. read more

Our two kids have been attending Step By Step for 7 and 6 years respectively. We moved from the Mid-west when our oldest was 5 years old and youngest 3 years old. Prior to the move, neither had an interest in speaking Spanish after repeated efforts by my wife, who is a Spanish speaker. Now, my oldest is conversational and communicates comfortably with Spanish speakers in our community and my youngest is speaking in complete sentences at home. We have been consistently attending weekly classes and also participated in their summer camp sessions. Roberto and his staff have been great to work with and know our kids individually and understand how each one learns. They have always been pleasant and positive with the kids. They explain each lesson and hold them accountable for weekly homework assignments. We have enjoyed our experiences and highly recommend Step by Step to any family that wants to introduce another language to their children. The lessons and activities keep them interested and engaged. The kids also make friends and look forward to attending class each week. read more

My 4 year old has been taking classes for one month and the amount of Spanish she understands has increased a lot. We speak English at home and I will try to speak to her in Spanish now. Since she has been taking classes she has become interested in how to say many words in Spanish. We have enrolled her and her younger brother in their summer Spanish immersion camp and are looking forward to it. The staff is fantastic, very personable and the really make all the kids feel comfortable and confident. I highly recommend to any family wanting their kids to learn Spanish at any level. read more

Our children have been taking Spanish classes at Step by Step since 2014. We have been extremely pleased with their progress, their level of motivation, and eagerness to participate in their weekly sessions. The teachers are wonderful, caring and professional individuals, who create a very nurturing and family friendly environment. They also inspire us to continue practicing and improving our Spanish at home. Additionally, the children have thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from attending multiple sessions at the summer camp, Viva el Español, throughout the years. We highly recommend Step by Step to anyone interested in advancing their children's Spanish language skills. read more

Our daughter (4) has taken classes at Step by Step since she was three and she loves the classes and looks forward to it every week. The teachers do an incredible job of fostering self-confidence in her speaking ability as our daughter could easily understand Spanish (bilingual home) at the time of starting classes but she was very hesitant to speak it. The classes with Step by Step really encouraged her to speak and built her vocabulary in a fun and interactive way that was very appropriate for her young age. She was never bored with the class, even as a high-energy child and she built a strong bond with her instructor. Highly recommended! read more

As parents we highly recommend Step by Step Language School for anyone looking to advance their child in the Spanish language. English is our primary language at home and our daughter came to the school speaking only a few words in Spanish. Our goal is for her to one day be bilingual. She quickly (within just a few classes) started speaking freely. Today, after 3 short months she is speaking complete sentences. I believe it's the staff at Step by Step that makes the difference. They are professional and use correct grammar and pronunciation. The classes are conducted completely in Spanish and they use games and props to teach. We are so pleased with her success we have decided to enroll our daughter in their Viva el Espanol Summer Camp program. We give Step by Step 5 out of 5 stars read more

I enrolled my two children, ages 3 and 5, in Step by Step/Viva El Espanol Summer Camp. My husband speaks Spanish but I do not. Our children understand Spanish but were reluctant to speak. We wanted our children to speak more in Spanish. After just two weeks, both of our children are speaking more and are enjoying it! My mother-in-law (who speaks Spanish) said she noticed significant improvement. She was very impressed with how much they learned. In addition to learning a lot, my children really enjoyed it. Every day my children were excited to go to camp. The activities are fun and educational. Also, the student to teacher ratio is outstanding. I highly recommend Viva El Espanol/Step by Step. read more

It's been a year since my three year old son began attending weekly Spanish classes at Step by Step languages. I'm pleased to share that I've seen tremendous growth in his grasp of the Spanish language and his ability to communicate several word sentences and recognize objects, colors and numbers. The staff are extremely competent, patient and warm. I'm always impressed to learn how my son's teacher turns play time into learning time and devises creative ways for him to retain the information. As a Miami resident, it is important to my husband and me that our children learn a second language; specifically Spanish. We intend to continue his education there and plan to enroll our one year old daughter as soon as she is eligible age-wise. read more
