Yes, during the classes the student will receive texts in Spanish (news items, articles, interviews, song lyrics, transcriptions of videos etc.) on which the teacher and student will work together. Moreover, at the end of each class homework will be set for the student so that you can practice at home what you have seen in class that week (you can email it to the teacher for correction and the teacher will email it back). All this is included in the price of the classes.
If the break in communication is due to technical difficulties in the student´s computer or Internet connection SpanishviaSkype will try, the first time that this happens, to reschedule that class so that the student does not lose it. If it occurs several times the student will lose these classes. If it is our system that fails, SpanishviaSkype will give you an extra class to make up for the missed class.
Of course! In Spain, languages training is tax exempt (according to the Spanish VAT Law No 37/1992 of 28 December, 1992) so we are not allowed to charge VAT (IVA in Spain).
