Homeschool Casa is founded on the belief that homeschoolers and at-home learners should have the opportunity to learn Spanish from a live instructor who can hear and correct their speech, facilitating effective and long-lasting communication skills in the language.
After counseling with homeschoolers for many years on the topic of buying curriculum, we have found that most foreign language programs end up sitting on the shelf and collecting dust. It is much too easy to get distracted and set lessons aside when you don't have someone holding you accountable to progress to the next level.
Why repeat the phrases when no one is listening? The majority of people who buy those expensive CD programs are trying to learn the language singularly, and when no one is listening they simply are not motivated to "listen and repeat", let alone construct their own dialog and sentences to effectively communicate in the langauge.
To properly learn a foreign language, students need one-on-one coaching from someone who understands the language and can guide them to correct pronunciation. But one-on-one tutoring can cost upwards of $25-$40 an hour, and it takes more than one hour to learn a language.
So Homeschool Casa offers competitively priced, LIVE instruction in a group setting, starting at less than $8.00 per hour. It's the perfect solution for homeschoolers. Simply login in at the appropriate time and join your class!
Meet your Instructor!
Dianne McLean (Senora Diana) is our director and primary instructor for Homeschool Casa. She has been teaching Spanish to homeschoolers successfully since 2003. Her approach is fun, lively, and engaging and both students and parents are always satisified with the outcome.
She homeschooled her two youngest children for 10 years, both of whom were accepted into highly esteemed universities as honors students.
Her son is currently serving a 2-year mission in Central America, effectively spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in Spanish!
An excerpt from a letter written home when he was in training, preparing to head to Central America with several other missionaries: "Hey mom! Just so ya know, everything you taught me for Spanish was well worth your time and effort. While the other guys are struggling to understand the language in our classes, I totally remember everything!! All the verb conjugations came back clear as day. Thanks for putting up with me, you're the best!"
Dianne also teaches for an organization which she runs for homeschoolers and at-home learners,
