Maria Ceñal

Maria's Spanish classes are an absolute delight! Her creativity, kindness, and flexibility create a fun and engaging atmosphere. She encourages speaking, provides personalized attention, and fosters a safe space for questions and growth. Tuesday evenings with Maria are a weekly highlight, recharging my energies and fueling my passion for Spanish. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dynamic and fulfilling language learning journey! ¡Gracias, Maria!

Thank you for my first Spanish lesson! I was very nervous but I had fun! Arigatoo!

Maria came to class with materials for our topic of the day and we had an excellent back-and-forth discussion about the theme. Excellent conversational practice!

Another fantastic lesson. Maria was very well prepared and today we practised the subjunctive some more which Maria made enjoyable (which isn't easy!). The class went for 1 hour but felt more like 20 minutes because she is able to keep the lesson constantly moving and interesting. She definitely has a gift for teaching and I am thinking that once I master Spanish I might get French lessons from her! Thank you Maria.

Die Stunden bei Maria waren sehr gut. Sie hat eigene Materialien erstellt und ist sehr geduldig mit mir.

The lesson itself was fine, and I was excited by the list of books Maria gave me. When I came to book another lesson, I selected a time, but Maria cancelled it stating she doesn’t work at that time, although it was available. I was unable to accept the new proposed time, so I had to cancel the new lesson time. Now where I’m at a point where I will be transitioning away from other clases and have more availability, I discovered I cannot book more classes…it’s seems I’ve been blocked for no reason other than me selecting a slot that she did not want to teach and not being able to accept the new proposed time. This is all disappointing, especially since I was excited to continue.
