Mariola

I’ve just completed my 5th session with Mariola. Each session has been relaxed and engaging, with a great balance of structured exercises and natural conversation. Today’s class left me feeling especially confident and motivated. I’m looking forward to continuing our sessions!

Do you ever have a lesson where you glance at the clock, and when you see you are only half way, you think "Whoa, this is hard work"? And if the clock says you have 5 minutes to go, you think "Thank heavens for that!"? I think we have all experienced that, probably more often than not. As much as you are committed to learning a language, it feels like work, and it takes concentration. The thing is, I sometimes look at the clock in Mariola's lessons too, but it feels totally different. If I see I am only half way through, I think "Great, still plenty of time", and when there is 5 minutes left, my heart sinks a little. Talking to Mariola is simply a heap of fun, even in a foreign language. It is never boring. I can't really say that about many classes I have had during my life, while learning a language or some other skill. Most lessons are a chore. It takes a great teacher to be genuinely motivational. Mariola is such a teacher.

¡Ella es la mejor! Es una profesora muy simpática de la que se aprende mucho y además con mucha diversión. ¡Muchas gracias!

Mariola brings so much warmth and energy to each class. The lessons are short but rich, disguising substantial practice of a grammar point within fun and spontaneous conversation. I always leave smiling and motivated to keep going!

Mariola is smart, funny, kind, patient and a wonderful teacher.

My first (trial) session with Mariola was wonderful. She's very kind and patient, and I felt at ease throughout the entire session. She gave me all the time I needed to think through what I wanted to say, and I never felt rushed. I'm looking forward to more sessions with her.
