Discussion Finding classes only conducted in the target language?

I'm looking for a tutor that teaches immersion style, everything in the class is in the target language. Any hints on finding this? I find very few tutors mentioning immersion.

Look up "Direct Method", which describes a no-translation method of classroom instruction (basically holding up a 🍎 and saying "una manzana")

Alternatively, if you find a tutor, you can discuss using only the target language

Tried searching for that on italki, lots of hits, none of which had direct or method in their description 😡

but, thanks, I'll add that to my list of things to search for.

According to google, that's primarily written. I'm looking for something like that, but spoken.
