About us

We are a school. That is the whole difference.

1on1Spanish offers one-on-one Spanish lessons with qualified native teachers, online across the United States. We are the Spanish school built by RingTeacher, which has been teaching English to Spanish speakers since 2017 — the same method, running in the other direction.

Since 2017

Where we come from

Built on RingTeacher’s method — 700,000+ classes delivered since 2017. Not videos, not exercises: classes with a teacher on the other side. That is the format we know works, and it is the format we brought to Spanish.

How we teach, and why it is set up this way

  1. Teachers first, technology second

    Every lesson is with a qualified native teacher. The AI practice partner is there for the days between lessons, not instead of them.

  2. Speaking is the class, not the homework

    You talk from the first minute. Grammar comes in through what you are trying to say, which is the order in which adults actually retain it.

  3. Short and often beats long and rare

    Twenty-five minutes is short enough to keep on a bad week. Four short conversations a week give you four chances to speak.

  4. Progress that exists on paper

    A written report after every lesson: what worked, what to fix, what is next. Three months in, you can see what changed instead of guessing.

Who actually teaches you

Every teacher is a native Spanish speaker and qualified to teach the language, not just to speak it. You won’t always get the same one, and that is deliberate: what follows you is your record, which every teacher opens before the lesson. Different voices and accents are part of learning to understand real Spanish.
