Maria is a lovely teacher and I really enjoy our classes. Very interactive and beneficial! She encourages me to be more confident in my speaking skills which is very significant!

I loved my trial class with Maria. Im looking for conversational classes to practice my spanish, and she had a lot of conversation. I've already booked my next class next week.

Excellent trial lesson. I had stated I wanted to spend the time practising talking in Spanish which we did. As someone hard-of hearing it was particularly helpful that Maria constantly typed up her words and mine. Looking forward to more lessons
I'm a certified Spanish tutor from ESPAÑA with a great passion for helping others and I'll be happy to assist you in your mastery of my native language!
I think that mastery of a foreign language can introduce you to a new world of opportunities, and I would like to help you to open those doors. I love to learn languages, and will do my very best to help you to learn the Spanish language.

Teaching Approach
As every student is different, I focus on the student’s needs and targets. I prepare the lessons depending on what the student wants or needs. I normally focus on speaking so the students are able to talk from the beginning.
I send some materials to work with during the lesson and I try to make my students feel comfortable and to be confident in themselves. For me it’s important that you enjoy the lessons and achieve your aims.
I have my own material, books, audio and lots and lots of exercises.
During the lessons I will try to use Spanish as much as it’s possible, so students get used to the language.
