Maria camila Arocha

The best teacher ever! Maria is on another level. She helped me to have more confidence in English. She told me experiences of how she has learned languages. she made me feel very confident and she was too kind. I loved my first lesson.

Very impressive! I appreciated the fact that she allowed me to tailor the lesson to be more of a conversation than a traditional lesson. She let me make mistakes without interrupting me and provided accurate feedback. She is a very lively, skilled and professional instructor! My favorite so far.

Maria quickly grasped exactly what I was capable of and what I needed to improve upon. Her perfect fluency in English made it easy to switch between Spanish-only and English-help modes. She was encouraging and supportive; a great teacher. This was my first experience on the iTalki platform; had I done it again, I think I would have planned a 45 minute lesson vs. a 30 minute lesson since 30 minutes is a bit rushed.

Maria es una super professora de espanol con actividades personalisadas y adaptadas por principiantes or gente con une base.

Maria was my first instructor on iTalki, and I admit that I found her not through diligent research, but because she was available for an instant lesson at a time block that had become suddenly available to me. I am glad that I found her; she is an excellent conversation partner; she understands when to correct my halting A2/B1 Spanish, and when to let it flow. I have had several trial lessons with others, but I am booking a series with Maria because her teaching style is exactly what I need right now: unstructured, conversational practice. I can learn grammar rules and vocabulary on my own, but conversational Spanish requires a good conversational partner, and that is what Maria provides.

Marila understands where I am and what I want to learn! She is patient and knowledgeable. Great first lesson!!
