Hi 😊, I’m Mary, a native Spanish teacher from Spain with 3 years of experience teaching students from all over the world. I’m passionate about helping my students speak Spanish naturally, confidently, and without stress.
I’ve lived 5 years in London, where I completed my degree and became fluent in English, and 1 year in Japan teaching Spanish and English to people from different cultures. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the challenges language learners face, and I know how to make lessons clear, motivating, and fun.
Me as a Teacher
I am a friendly, patient, and supportive teacher 😊 Mistakes are part of the learning process, and my goal is to help you feel confident and relaxed when speaking Spanish.
My lessons feel like a friendly conversation, where you can relax, make mistakes, laugh, and learn at the same time. I create a comfortable environment so you feel confident speaking from the very first class.
I focus on clear explanations, real communication, and constant encouragement so you can see progress and enjoy learning.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are 100% personalized and based on your goals and interests. We can work on:
Conversation and fluency.
Grammar in a simple and clear way.
Practical vocabulary.

Spanish for travel, work, or daily life.
All levels are welcome: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
🧠 Teaching Methods.
I use a communicative and practical approach, combining:
Real-life conversations.

I highly recommend Mary Perez as a teacher on italki. She is an excellent teacher who creates a friendly, supportive, and motivating learning environment.
Mary explains concepts clearly and adapts her lessons to the student’s level and goals. She is very patient and attentive, and she always makes sure that the lesson is engaging and productive. I especially appreciate how she encourages natural conversation while also correcting mistakes in a constructive and helpful way.
Her lessons are well-structured, but still flexible enough to focus on the topics that matter most to the student. This makes it easy to improve both speaking confidence and overall language accuracy.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and professional teacher who genuinely cares about your progress, I strongly recommend taking lessons with Mary Perez.

Me encantan las clases de Mary porque siempre me explica cada tema y cada regla gramatical con mucho detalle, y además está muy preparada y es muy atenta. Me siento muy motivada y más segura de mí misma desde que tomo clases con ella😊

Siempre es un placer tener clases con Mary. Durante las lecciones construimos un diálogo muy natural: elegimos un tema, compartimos opiniones, lo debatimos e incluso a veces tenemos pequeñas discusiones constructivas. El tiempo pasa muy rápido cuando la conversación es tan interesante. Mary va tomando notas en el chat durante la clase, corrigiendo mis errores o ayudándome a mejorar mis frases, y al final siempre hace un pequeño resumen con los puntos importantes. Sus clases son muy naturales, nada forzadas y realmente eficaces para aprender. 😊

Mary is simply amazing. As someone who is bilingual, I know from my own experience that the hardest part to begin speaking is the fear of speaking itself.
Mary understands this to a personal level because she herself had lived abroad in different countries and learned different languages. From the start, talking to her felt like talking to an old friend and that has made me look forward to speaking Spanish instead of feeling anxious about it. I cannot stress enough how important this is in language learning.
If I were to be selfish, I would not want her getting too much recognition so I can book my lessons with more flexibility, but recognition is exactly what she deserves and I hope this review will contribute to that. If you are beginning your speaking journey and feel anxious about it like I did, if you want to enjoy the journey of language learning instead of getting burnt out, I highly recommend you to book a lesson with Mary!

Mary is a fantastic teacher! She gives lessons directed to the student’s prior knowledge of the language in a very personalized sense. I feel like progressing in each class, with a great combination of conversation and language structure. She also gave me tips and tools to insert spanish ok a daily basis with podcasts adapted to my current level.

Mary is an amazing teacher!! I'm so happy to have found her here. She is super attentive, professional and helpful. She is also patient and nice. On top of that I had fun practicing Spanish with her. My level is still low but even then she has been helping me feel confident to practice speaking. Would definitely recommend :)
