About Speak Shop

Speak Shop is an award-winning social venture that offers customized, one-on-one Spanish instruction live via Skype, including courses for professionals in medicine, dentistry, education, and more. Through Speak Shop, Spanish teachers in impoverished countries have access to a world market, turning from formerly low-paid seasonal teachers into online microbusiness owners.

B Corporation certification represents what we believe in. We want to be part of a community, a movement, of genuine and vetted businesses that are committed to solving social and environmental problems.

Speak Shop makes it easy for Spanish students all over the world to benefit from one-on-one tutoring with experienced instructors who are native to and living in a Spanish-speaking country. Use Speak Shop to brush up on your Spanish, learn new vocabulary, start from scratch or just to practice your pronunciation. You and your tutor communicate through video & voice conferencing and you control what you want to learn, when and from whom. Your Speak Shop membership grants you access to all necessary Spanish learning tools online: translator, vocabulary tools, grammar texts, chat rooms, etc. Once you join Speak Shop, you can search for tutors based on their qualifications and prices and schedule a lesson with the tutor of your choice.
