Hi there! I’m a Spanish mentor with 6 years of teaching experience and a solid background in journalism. I specialize in clear communication and conversational fluency: I help students of all levels (A1–C2) overcome the fear of speaking from the very first class, using topics you’re truly passionate about—technology, history, food, reading, cinema, or travel.
🌎 You’ll learn Spanish as it’s actually lived: beyond grammar, we’ll explore how Spanish speakers think and feel, with authentic materials, dynamic conversations, and of course… plenty of fun!
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I believe that learning Spanish should be dynamic, stress-free, and culturally enriching. My classes are structured around your goals and interests, ensuring that every lesson is relevant and engaging.
✅ Creative & Interactive – I use music, film, technology, and literature to make learning fun and effective.
✅ Personalized Approach – Every student is unique, so I adapt my materials and methods to your learning style.
✅ Real Communication – From day one, I encourage active speaking and listening, helping you develop confidence in real-life situations.
✅ Constructive Feedback – I guide you with clear explanations and help you improve your pronunciation, grammar, and fluency.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I specialize in conversation, grammar, cultural immersion, and professional Spanish, creating lessons that are both structured and engaging. My classes are designed to:
✨ Develop fluency and confidence through practical conversation.
✨ Expand your vocabulary and grammar in a natural, contextualized way.
✨ Introduce you to Spanish-speaking cultures using real-world materials.
✨ Adapt to your learning pace with a mix of structured exercises and interactive activities.
I prioritize kindness, patience, and motivation, ensuring that learning is not only effective but also enjoyable. My goal is simple: help you feel confident and excited to speak Spanish!
María is one of the few teachers that I enjoy conversing with. She has been a tremendous help especially in those areas where I struggle to speak coherent Spanish and she intuitively knows where to steer the conversations so that I get maximum opportunity to work on those weaknesses. At times during our conversation practice, and especially when I find myself battling uphill on crutches to find the vocabulary to express myself, she will encourage me to give it my best shot, then we would explore the different ways I could have expressed what I wanted to say. I definitely appreciate this approach because I have noticed a sizeable difference in my ability since I started conversation practice with Maria.
I rarely have time to write reviews due to a hectic work/life schedule but here I am. Maria should be everyone’s “go to” if you want to level up in Spanish.

La lección estuvo bien. Un poco seca con las respuestas. Pero en general fue una lección aceptable.
