ANNOUNCEMENT: Starting December 15, 2021 I WILL BE WORKING WITH REDUCED AVAILABILITY. If you don't see your desired slot, MESSAGE ME and we will discuss the OPTIONS. In relation to this this change, PACKAGE BOOKING IS TEMPORARILY DISABLED. Hello, my name is Maria and I would like to help you speak English and Bulgarian! Born in Bulgaria, based in the Netherlands, and having lived in Malta, Germany and the US, I know how scary it can be to start speaking a foreign language. Let's break the communication barrier together! I'm a language nerd, DIY sewist and upcycling enthusiast, mom of house plants, and I study Medieval swordfighting. Now, tell me :) What is your passion?

Me as a Teacher

I try to create a relaxed supportive environment, in which you can speak freely and experiment with language. To do that I will work with you on finding discussion topics you like and I will provide structural support - vocabulary, functional phrases and style guides. Mistakes are welcome. :) That's how we learn!

My lessons & teaching style

The goal in my lessons is to build up your confidence to speak. We keep an eye on accuracy in grammar and pronunciation, but we focus on the communication skills - what language is used in various situations, what word patterns native speakers use, how to recover from mistakes.

Had another awesome lesson with Maria, she is super flexible and willing to work with me on different material and I really appreciate it! We had a super fun conversation about Bulgarian food, holidays, and what was new in our lives. She does a great job explaining grammar and helping me find the best way to say something. Thanks for the lesson!

Super fun lesson, Maria prepared a fun document about pets to help with questions/answering and facilitating a discussion! She also looked over words I was trying to learn and included them in the document and lesson. I really enjoy talking to her and had a great time!
