Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what parents ask most. Can't find yours? Write to us and a person will answer.

What is the Free Starter Class?

A free, personalized first session for learners ages 3–13. Your teacher gets to know your learner and your family’s Spanish goals, teaches a short, engaging lesson, gently assesses their current Spanish, and recommends the best curriculum starting point. It is designed to feel like a real SWL lesson, not a test.

Everything parents ask us

What ages do your online Spanish classes for kids start?

Spanish with Littles offers online Spanish classes for kids starting at age 3 and up.

What age is best to start Spanish classes?

The ideal time to begin is during preschool and early elementary years (ages 3-9), when children naturally absorb pronunciation and vocabulary. Our program supports learners up to age 13.

Do parents need to speak Spanish?

Not at all! Many of our families are learning alongside their children, and we love that. No Spanish experience is needed to get started.

What if my child is shy or doesn't speak right away?

That's completely normal. We honor the quiet phase of language learning and gently encourage participation at each child's pace. Confidence grows naturally with consistency.

Are your Spanish classes one-on-one or group?

We currently offer 1:1 private Spanish tutoring sessions for kids of all ages. Group online Spanish classes for kids, our Littles and Middles programs, will be opening soon. Stay tuned!

Will my child get the same Spanish teacher every time?

They can! Choose the recurring appointment option when you book to keep the same teacher, day, and time each week. You can also book with different available teachers when needed.

How does the monthly membership work?

Your membership begins on the date of your first booking. Private classes are $35 per 30-minute class, tracked through your monthly billing cycle and charged together at the end of it, with a $35 monthly minimum. There is no long-term contract, and you can cancel anytime. See how billing works.

How do I book a class?

Booking is simple! Use our booking page to book a free starter class or a private class directly on our site. Already have a Private Tutoring membership? Select Options You Own → Private Tutoring when you book.

What platform do you use for classes?

All of our online Spanish classes for kids are hosted securely on Zoom. Your class link is emailed automatically after booking, no hunting for links or extra setup needed.

Can siblings learn together?

Yes! Siblings join free when they can learn together in the same session. As a general guideline, siblings should be within about 2–3 years of each other and at reasonably similar Spanish levels. Only one learner needs to be booked. Read the siblings policy.

What do I need for class?

Just a device with Zoom, a quiet learning space, and a willingness to have fun! We also send printable worksheets weekly so your child can practice their Spanish skills between online classes.

What time zone are classes in?

All class times are shown in Eastern Time (ET). If you're outside Eastern Time, double-check the converted time when you book.

Policies

Four policies cover almost every situation. If yours is not here, email support@spanishwithlittles.com.

Cancellations and rescheduling

Appointments may be canceled at least 24 hours before the scheduled class without being charged for that session. Classes missed or canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice are charged at the full session rate.

Attendance and late arrivals

Teachers remain in the virtual classroom for the first 10 minutes of the scheduled session. After this window, the class is marked as missed.

Behavior and safety

To support a positive learning environment, we recommend that a parent stays nearby during a child's first few sessions. Spanish with Littles reserves the right to remove a student from class if behavior is unsafe or consistently disruptive to instruction.

Technology support

If technical issues prevent attendance, please contact us within 24 hours. We will review the situation and assist with rescheduling when appropriate.
