At Spanish Mastery with Miss María, our curriculum follows the internationally recognized CEFR levels (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages):

A1 • A2 • B1 • B2 • C1 • C2

In addition, our program is informed by the proficiency guidelines of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), widely used in language education in the United States. This allows us to align international proficiency levels with practical communication skills used in real-world contexts.

This structured program is available for children, teens, and adults, with lessons adapted to each student’s age, learning style, and goals.

Each level is divided into structured 30-hour modules designed to guide students step by step toward real fluency and measurable progress.

Throughout each module, students develop their skills through guided instruction, real conversation practice in every session, vocabulary expansion, structured grammar development, interactive activities, and continuous progress monitoring. Every level builds upon the previous one, ensuring strong foundations and steady advancement.

⏳ Module Structure

Each module consists of 30 instructional hours, typically completed through 1-hour sessions scheduled according to the student’s availability and goals.

For example:

• 1 session per week → approximately 30 weeks
• 2 sessions per week → approximately 15 weeks
• 3 sessions per week → approximately 10 weeks

The pace may be adjusted to match the student’s learning speed and schedule.
