I grew up in a spanish household speaking english and spanish. Now I'm in my twenties and I've found that speaking spanish in the household is VERY different from speaking in public, like when you have to speak in a formal manner or an informal (friend-to-friend) manner. I end up feeling like I can't speak spanish very well in these social scenarios, like I'm speaking like a caveman due to all the bumps I hit when I don't know the formal way of saying things. Then I get super self-conscious

In that sense, I may give this a shot in the very near future. In the meantime, good luck on the venture, I like the idea :)

Yep - everyone has different goals and reasons for learning spanish so having a one-on-one who can create lessons that are customized to your needs has been a real differentiator so far.
