Maria Belen Chavez

Maria is such a nice and energetic teacher. You learn Spanish in a relaxed, fun, and hands-on way. Totally tailored to your needs. I can definitely recommend Maria.

María is an excellent teacher. I am studying abroad in Chile soon and she has done so much to help me prepare. I am very thankful for her guidance, her organization, her positive energy and her knowledge. She has taught me about the culture, vocabulary, medical system, and food in Chile. I feel much more equipped for my journey!

I remember the first class I took with Maria and I thought it would be so difficult because I did not know any spanish to begin with and I also wasn't sure about one on one lessons. lol Then, as time went on I seen that she actually put in effort to get to know my learning style. She wasn't like most teachers who read from a book all the time and that's it. She asks you things and actually takes into consideración what you would like and how you learn next thing you know we are sharing recipes in español and songs..Two things I love. Eating and singing is two of the things I enjoy the most and come to find out she loves it too:) So, if you do decide to take this Journey with her just know lo vale la pena:)

Very nice first lesson. Made me feel comfortable and excited to really start learning Spanish.

Classes with Maria are always great. In my case, in addition to getting practice speaking and listening, I am also trying to improve my Chilean Spanish. Through conversation and listening activities, every class is filled with new vocabulary, Chilean slang, and Chilenismos. Maria gives great explanations and examples, with context. I've enjoyed every class so far and plan on taking many more. Muchas gracias Maria por todo!

She's just a great person to learn Spanish from. Very enjoyable to spend time with, extremely knowledgeable, and patient.
