Tutoring Without a Method: The Hidden Risks of Going Random

Aug 28, 2025

The internet is full of options for finding a Spanish tutor. Platforms make it easy to connect with native speakers, and many learners jump in hoping for fast results. But here’s the problem: without a proven method, tutoring often turns into guesswork—and progress stalls.


Why Random Tutoring Fails

1. No structured path
When there’s no curriculum, lessons feel scattered. You might cover travel phrases one day and difficult grammar the next, but without a clear sequence, fluency remains out of reach.

2. Inconsistent teaching quality
Many online tutors are not certified teachers. While they may be good conversationalists, they lack training in how to teach Spanish effectively. Lessons often depend on improvisation, which is unpredictable at best.

3. Gaps in fundamentals
Without a system, students can learn isolated words and phrases but struggle to build full sentences. That leaves them unprepared for real conversations.


Why the Cortez Method™ Works

Since 2002, the Cortez Method™ has guided thousands of learners from beginner to fluent Spanish speaker. Here’s what makes it different:

  • Step-by-step structure: Each lesson builds logically, like climbing stairs.

  • Certified instructors: Every teacher is trained in the method and knows how to guide learners.

  • Conversation first: Students speak from the very first class in past, present, and future.

  • Reinforcement tools: Workbooks, flashcards, and practice guides ensure progress sticks.

This combination eliminates randomness. Instead of “hit-or-miss” tutoring, you get a clear, reliable path to fluency.
