About Me

Hi there! I’m a Spanish mentor with 6 years of teaching experience and a solid background in journalism. I specialize in clear communication and conversational fluency: I help students of all levels (A1–C2) overcome the fear of speaking from the very first class, using topics you’re truly passionate about—technology, history, food, reading, cinema, or travel.
🌎 You’ll learn Spanish as it’s actually lived: beyond grammar, we’ll explore how Spanish speakers think and feel, with authentic materials, dynamic conversations, and of course… plenty of fun!Me as a Teacher
I believe that learning Spanish should be dynamic, stress-free, and culturally enriching. My classes are structured around your goals and interests, ensuring that every lesson is relevant and engaging.
✅ Creative & Interactive – I use music, film, technology, and literature to make learning fun and effective.
✅ Personalized Approach – Every student is unique, so I adapt my materials and methods to your learning style.
✅ Real Communication – From day one, I encourage active speaking and listening, helping you develop confidence in real-life situations.
✅ Constructive Feedback – I guide you with clear explanations and help you improve your pronunciation, grammar, and fluency.My lessons & teaching style
I specialize in conversation, grammar, cultural immersion, and professional Spanish, creating lessons that are both structured and engaging. My classes are designed to:
✨ Develop fluency and confidence through practical conversation.
✨ Expand your vocabulary and grammar in a natural, contextualized way.
✨ Introduce you to Spanish-speaking cultures using real-world materials.
✨ Adapt to your learning pace with a mix of structured exercises and interactive activities.
I prioritize kindness, patience, and motivation, ensuring that learning is not only effective but also enjoyable. My goal is simple: help you feel confident and excited to speak Spanish!My teaching material

María is one of the few teachers that I enjoy conversing with. She has been a tremendous help especially in those areas where I struggle to speak coherent Spanish and she intuitively knows where to steer the conversations so that I get maximum opportunity to work on those weaknesses. At times during our conversation practice, and especially when I find myself battling uphill on crutches to find the vocabulary to express myself, she will encourage me to give it my best shot, then we would explore the different ways I could have expressed what I wanted to say. I definitely appreciate this approach because I have noticed a sizeable difference in my ability since I started conversation practice with Maria.
I rarely have time to write reviews due to a hectic work/life schedule but here I am. Maria should be everyone’s “go to” if you want to level up in Spanish.
