Learning a language should be fun! Hello! I'm Maria, a professional language teacher with over 15 years of experience teaching French, English, and Russian. I was born in Moscow to a Russian-Ukrainian family, grew up in Kenya and Switzerland (Geneva), and now live in Spain. My multicultural background has shaped both my passion for languages and my teaching approach. I also speak Spanish and Catalan. I am currently completing my PhD in Human Cognition and Evolution at the University of the Balearic Islands, where I also teach undergraduate courses. My research focuses on gender, migration, intercultural communication, and gender equality. I hold a DAEFLE qualification (Alliance Française), a Bachelor's degree in Humanities, a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) from the University of Nottingham, and a TEFL qualification. Every lesson is tailored to your goals, interests, and learning style. I use a communicative approach and authentic materials such as articles, videos, podcasts, and books to make learning practical, engaging, and enjoyable. I teach adults and teenagers and offer: • General French, English & Russian • Conversation classes • Business communication • Exam preparation • Academic English for Bachelor's, Master's & PhD students • Academic writing, proofreading & presentation coaching • English for researchers and university professionals • French for Gender Studies, DEI, Social Sciences & NGO professionals I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals!

The platform kept glitching on my end. I had to leave and re-enter the classroom 4 times.

Highly recommended. I had a very enjoyable, interesting and productive introductory lesson with Maria. She quickly ascertained when I needed help and provided some interesting reading exercises for the next lesson perfectly matching my interests. During the lesson she took excellent notes correcting all the mistakes I made.

J'ai eu mon premier cours avec Maria et c'était vraiment très bien. Nous avons travaillé les bases de la prononciation française. Claire, patiente et encourageante.
