Confident, experienced, and attentive teachers

From the moment your child steps into the room, they will immediately feel welcome and safe.  Their little eyes will open and a broad smile will appear each and every time they hear and speak in a wonderful new language.  None of this is by accident.  EasySpanish123 was founded by a teacher whose experience level exceeds most other resources.

  • Native Spanish-Speaking staff
  • All have Masters or Bachelor degrees (some have multiple, some bestowed in their home country)
  • All have extensive experience teaching in the Washington, D.C. area (some in public schools, all in private schools)
  • The small classes afford an intimate and focused setting that allows for personalized attention.

You are welcome to observe a class or to have your child attend a class.  Neither of you will be disappointed. Spanish is as easy as 123!
