Hi! My name is Maria 😊 I’m an English tutor and a TEFL/TESOL certified teacher with 190 hours of professional training. I teach English online and help students improve their language step by step in a calm and supportive way. I especially enjoy working with beginners and elementary to intermediate learners (A1–B1), helping them build confidence and feel comfortable using English. I truly believe that learning English doesn’t have to be stressful. With clear explanations, regular practice and the right support, anyone can make steady progress.

Me as a Teacher

As a teacher, I am patient, friendly and supportive. I always adapt my lessons to the student’s level, goals and learning pace. I explain grammar in a simple and clear way and make sure students truly understand how English works, not just memorize rules. I pay special attention to speaking practice and help students feel more confident using English in real-life situations. I create a comfortable learning atmosphere where students are not afraid to make mistakes.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons are structured, clear and focused on real progress. Each lesson has a clear goal, and we move step by step. Homework is provided if the student wants extra practice and faster progress. I also share additional materials and PDF files when needed. If you are looking for calm, patient and well-structured English lessons, I’ll be happy to help you on italki.
