Subscription service offering unlimited 1-on-1 online Spanish tutoring with Latin American teachers from $179/month.
BaseLang is an online Spanish-tutoring service founded in 2016 by Connor Grooms and Adrian Castañeda. It is bootstrapped and profitable, having raised no outside capital, with a team based in Medellín, Colombia. The model is subscription-based and managed in-house: learners pay a flat monthly fee for access to BaseLang’s own roster of teachers and curriculum.
Lessons are delivered as one-on-one sessions over Zoom and are bookable 24/7, including same-day. BaseLang reports 300+ teachers located across seven Latin American countries, and teachers can be selected as English-speaking or Spanish-only depending on the learner’s level. Spanish is the only subject offered.
Pricing is $99/month for the Real World Lite plan (one 30-minute class per day) and $179/month for the Real World plan with unlimited classes. New users can trial for $1 the first week, with a 35-day money-back guarantee. The flat-rate unlimited structure rewards high-volume, committed learners.
