Tutora ELE certificada | ¡Hablemos español sin tanto enredo! 🌿 **Learning Spanish? ¡Sin tanto enredo!** Hi! I'm Mari, an educator and Spanish ELE teacher from Costa Rica.☕ Did you know? In Costa Rica, *enredo* means a mess, a tangle, or a complication. So, let's learn Spanish without making things complicated! 💬 My lessons are approximately 90% conversational, for students from A1 to C2. We'll explore real-life conversations, natural expressions, pronunciation, grammar in context, and Costa Rican culture. 🌿 I want you to feel comfortable, speak without fear of making mistakes, and enjoy every conversation. 🎯 In our trial lesson, we'll explore your level, goals, and needs and create a personalized learning plan. ☕ ¿Nos tomamos un cafecito virtual y ponemos tu español en práctica? ¡Pura vida!

The class with Maricel was amazing. She's very friendly and made me feel really comfortable in class. We talked about Costa Rica, its culture... I enjoyed learning Spanish that way.

Profesora Maricel is very patient and easygoing. I began the lesson by sharing that I had a headache. She suggested we begin with a relaxing conversation, and to let her know at any time if I needed to discontinue. We were able to share several stories and talked in Spanish about Costa Rica foods. I practiced the present, preterite and imperfect tenses while learning new vocabulary. She succinctly explained when to use the question words, "qué" and "cuál". I recommend "La Profesora" without hesitation.
