Spanish Classes For All Ages and Levels

Real-time learning for real-life impact.

Spanish lessons designed to get you speaking from day one. Because if you can’t speak it, you haven’t learned it. 

¡Hola!

My name is Claudio Pellegrino and I've taught hundreds of students to speak Spanish from dozens of countries around the world.

Born and raised in Rosario, Argentina, the cradle of both the national Argentinian flag and the birth place of soccer (ehem, world football) stars, Messi and Di Maria, I am passionate about teaching, not only my mother tongue, but also my culture.

Areas of Expertise

Most of my Spanish students fall into the following categories:

Travel Spanish

You know just enough to get into trouble but not enough to get out of it. I'll help you gain the language skills you need to navigate your next adventure with ease.

False Beginner

You've taken Spanish in high-school, maybe even college, but you still can't quite form a sentence. I'll help you fill in the gaps and solidify your foundation so you can keep learning.

Stuck in the Middle

You can get by in normal everyday situations but when it comes to a dinner party, you are left with a mouthful of things you wish you could say. I'll help you put it all together.

Conversation

Learning a language isn't like riding a bike, if you don't use it, you lose it. I'll create lessons around your areas of interest so that you can keep your language skills polished.

International Exams

You want to take your credentials to the next level by preparing and sitting for the International Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE), I've can help you prepare with confidence.

Professional

You want to be able to connect with and communicate to your Spanish speaking clients. I'll prepare vocabulary specific lessons that will help you do just that.

What my Students Say

Check out what past and current students have to say about the way I teach.

“Learning Spanish with Claudio Pellegrino has thus far been my favorite and most effective method of learning and speaking Spanish.
In contrast to learning Spanish in high school and college, Claudio makes speaking and practicing in a nonjudgmental way seamless and fun! Gone are the old fashioned ways of learning by rote and out of context. He makes even the initial niceties into seamless learning opportunities that are engaging and memorable.”

Claudio is unlike any language teacher I’ve had previously (and I’ve had many). His primary tool is listening. Whether in a group or in an individual lesson, and whether we’re just chatting or working on some text, he pays close attention to what I’m saying and then, some time later (so as not to interrupt the fluency of the moment) says it back to me, challenging me to recognize and correct my own errors. I love this method! It encourages my confidence by reminding me that a) I can indeed communicate, and b) I know the grammar rules even when I accidentally break them.

Classes with Claudio are challenging, productive, fun, and engaging. Claudio has a curriculum and he follows it, but he is also able to flex to meet the individual needs of the student or even follow the student down a conversational path. As long as we are speaking in Spanish and using the skills and vocabulary we are developing, Claudio adapts the lesson right then and there!
