Practice with medical grammar and vocabulary for travel, medical procedures or internships. I have traveled within my country, I like to know the culture of the people, I find fascinating to learn new things, I like the mountains and the bicycle. I study International Relations, so I am interested in international issues and conflicts. I studied medicine, so I have a little knowledge in that field. I started working in a Spanish school in my city, now twelve years ago, because I wanted to practice English with foreigners and know their culture. So I started my training from a very young age. I studied in medical school, so I started to train students in that field, the classes were face-to-face and one by one. My classes: there is a conversation in which a subject of conversation prior to the class is fixed, based on the interests of the student, it can vary, from politics to a medical issue. The grammar classes will depend on the level of the student that is evaluated through an exam. There are tasks, but these may vary. That is to say that it depends on the disposition of the student. Medical vocabulary classes: In these classes depends on the level of the student, the difficulty and complexity of the topics depends on the level of the student. These classes consist of, readings, vocabulary and grammar focused on this topic.

Maritza has been an excellent teacher. Her methods are effective and flexible depending on my needs at the time, and these are constantly changing as I get more confident reading, writing and speaking. She teaches medical language in a way that will accessible and useful for my patients for a long time to come.

Maritza is a fantastic teacher! She is very easy going and relaxing, which was nice because I wasn't used to have teaching through skype. At the same time she tries to push you to speak and to answer questions in spanish in a polite way. I give my best recommendations and I am looking forward to the next lesson :)

Great teacher with very specific medical Spanish focus which I what I need the most! Highly recommend if you are looking for a medical focus versus just conversational.

Fue una clase fantástica. Aprendí de la pulmonía y luego hicimos un juego de roles. ¡Bastante útil!

Focused on learning to speak in the medical setting and good explanations on the use of tenses and increasing vocabulary that is can be used in the day to day interaction with patients.

Maritza challenges me in a very positive manner during the lessons. We are now concentrating on increasing my vocabulary through mastering the use of the three past tenses in story telling. She also has me writing more which increases my vocabulary and focuses on the proper construction of sentences.
