Maria

María is one of the few teachers that I enjoy conversing with. She has been a tremendous help especially in those areas where I struggle to speak coherent Spanish and she intuitively knows where to steer the conversations so that I get maximum opportunity to work on those weaknesses. At times during our conversation practice, and especially when I find myself battling uphill on crutches to find the vocabulary to express myself, she will encourage me to give it my best shot, then we would explore the different ways I could have expressed what I wanted to say. I definitely appreciate this approach because I have noticed a sizeable difference in my ability since I started conversation practice with Maria. I rarely have time to write reviews due to a hectic work/life schedule but here I am. Maria should be everyone’s “go to” if you want to level up in Spanish.

Maria is encouraging, well-organized, and explains things very clearly. My Spanish has improved a lot by speaking with her

Maria always has the most creative and insightful lesson plans. Thank you Maria!

María es muy buena profesora. Sus clases son muy útiles, comprensibles y variadas. Siempre es amable y tiene una sonrisa en la cara. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda María!

Maria provides excellent topics for discussion as well as opportunities and guidance for using complex grammatical structures that I am trying to master. I have been working with her for over a year, maybe close to two years at this point, and although language learning is a slow process, I can see real progress and recognize how Maria's support has enabled it. Highly recommend.

Maria is an amazing teacher! I love the materials that she uses to facilitate conversations around a topic. Thank you Maria!
