Who I teach in Surco
People building a real life here.
Surco is where expat families put down roots. Bigger apartments, kids in international schools, weekend routines with neighbors. Spanish here isn't a work necessity — it's how you actually build a life.

Families
Parents with kids in international schools
Roosevelt, Newton, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Colegio Peruano Alemán — Spanish for the parts of parent life the school doesn't cover: the pediatrician, the housekeeper, the neighbor's parents at pickup, the school WhatsApp group.
·
Couples
Two adults, one shared vocabulary
Couples' lessons at home are one of the most-booked formats in Surco. One session, one flat rate, same curriculum — so you learn together and practice on each other between lessons.
·
Long-term residents
Here for years, not months
You bought the apartment, or the lease keeps renewing. Spanish that turns the neighborhood into a real neighborhood: butcher, dry cleaner, gym receptionist, gardener, doctors, dinners.
·
Retirees & second-home residents
Peru as home for this chapter
You have time and you want to use it well. Long-form lessons, cultural reading, deeper Spanish. No exam deadline — just the pleasure of finally reading in the language you live in.
How lessons work here
At home, at the pace of a real household.
Most Surco students take lessons at home — around school runs, after-work routines and weekend rhythms.
01
I come to your home
Your house or apartment anywhere in Surco — Chacarilla, Camacho, Higuereta, La Encantada, Vega Alta, San Roque. Travel is included in the lesson price.
02
Weekday, weekend or evening
Morning after school drop-off, mid-afternoon while kids are in class, evening after homework, Saturday morning with coffee. We build the schedule around your household.

Couples and family-friendly formats
Two-person sessions at home are common — one session, one rate. Occasionally teenagers or family pairings, if that's what you'd like.

Real-life vocabulary, not textbook Spanish
Doctors, contractors, school gates, dinners with neighbors, weekend errands. The Spanish that removes the daily friction of running a household in Lima.

Sick kid, travel, guests staying — we keep the momentum on video call and pick back up at your kitchen table next week.

Surco FAQ
Questions Surco families ask.
If yours isn't here, WhatsApp is the fastest way to get an answer.
Do you come to my home in Surco?
Yes — that's how most Surco lessons happen. I come to your house or apartment anywhere in the district: Chacarilla, Camacho, Higuereta, La Encantada, Vega Alta, San Roque and everywhere in between. Travel within Surco is included in the lesson price.
Can my partner and I take Spanish classes together?
Yes. Couples' lessons at home are one of the most popular formats in Surco — one session, two students, one flat rate. Especially common for expat families settling in together.
Do you teach children or teenagers as well as parents?
My focus is adults, but I occasionally take on teenagers and family pairings. If you'd like the whole family to be included in some way, mention it and we'll figure out a format that works.
Are weekend and after-school lessons available?
Yes. Weekend mornings and weekday afternoons or evenings work well for families with school-age children. We build the schedule around your household, not the other way around.
My kids are in an international school in Surco — should we learn Spanish through their curriculum?
That's one option, but not usually the best one. Kids in international schools often get their Spanish from school. Parents benefit more from lessons built around their own week — school gates, doctors, contractors, dinners with Peruvian friends — separate from what the school is teaching.
Can we do lessons for just one parent while the other is out?
Yes, of course. Many Surco parents book 1-to-1 lessons at home during school hours or after work while the household is quieter. Individual sessions are just as easy to arrange as couples.
How much do Spanish classes in Surco cost?
The same as anywhere else in Lima or online — individual lessons from $25 per hour, with 10- and 15-lesson packs at a reduced per-lesson rate. Travel within Surco is included, no district surcharge.

I teach almost every Lima district — travel included.
