My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method is quite relaxed. I speak slowly so that you can understand me and we can have good communication. I can help you express yourself in Spanish. We can use basic grammar in readings, we can also talk about the topics that interest you, such as foods, customs, traditions, or just have a conversation.
Mi método de enseñanza es bastante relajado. hablo lento para que me entiendas y podamos tener una buena comunicación y ayudarte a que te expreses en español. Podemos utilizar gramática básica en lecturas, además podemos platicar de los temas que te interesen, como comidas, costumbres, tradiciones, o solo charlar.

Italki has a lot of Spanish tutors and searching through profiles can be daunting. I am so happy that I found María. Book a class with her. You won’t regret it.
Here’s why. The first thing you’ll notice is her kindness. Maria is patient and encouraging. Classes feel relaxed and fun. I look forward to them. Maria listens carefully and is fully attentive in our lessons. She provides gentle corrections and is careful never to distract or interrupt. Our classes have the perfect balance of conversation, passages to read, and gentle guidance.

Maria is very easy, patient, and comfortable. I especially like that she shares her knowledge of familiar ways to communicate.

I have been working with Maria for a couple months now, and I truly appreciate her patience. When I get very frustrated, she listens and encourages and offers me alternative ways to approach the problem. I feel like I am chatting with a friend, and I find that I am learning even though it may not feel like it in the moment. Realmente disfruto trabajando con Maria y creo que todos deberian contratar sus servicios.

Stop looking for a teacher and try Maria. My Spanish was awful when we first started. (Apps teach you words, verb conjugations, and grammar—not how to think and speak in Spanish.) My pronunciation also was very gringo. Maria had me review the alphabet. We worked on diphthongs and how to divide words into syllables—something apps and many teachers never cover. And boy, is that boring stuff important! I also began reading out loud. (Just finished Charlie y la Fábrica de Chocolate.) I went to Mexico recently and received a lot of compliments on my Spanish. Best of all, I’m speaking without fear. After years of fumbling around, I’m FINALLY on my way to fluency.

Maria is lovely and an excellent teacher. She explains concepts and gently corrects without interrupting the flow of conversations. I also get to learn more about Mexican culture. I have had many lessons with Maria and will continue to do so!. María es encantadora y una excelente profesora. Explica conceptos y corrige con delicadeza sin interrumpir la conversación. También aprendo más sobre la cultura mexicana. He tenido muchas clases con María y seguiré haciéndolo.
