Leaving the Duolingo green owl behind and finding Maria was the best decision I've made for my Spanish. Around 6 months in, I've gone from feeling embarrassed speaking to holding full conversations for an hour without freezing up. Maria is patient and creates an environment where you're completely comfortable making mistakes. She's great at explaining grammar, answering questions, and always recommends the best resources to keep improving outside the lessons. I really noticed the difference on a recent trip to Budapest with Spanish speaking friends. I spent the whole weekend speaking Spanish, and even a few people I met told me, "You can tell you learned from an Argentine teacher." That was probably the best compliment I could've received, and the clearest proof the lessons work. A great teacher and, beyond that, a wonderful person. Undoubtedly the Lionel Messi of italki. Can't recommend her enough.

La mejor profesora! He mejorado mucho con ella!

Un placer como siempre :)

After just a few lessons with Maria, I can already see why she has so many great reviews. She’s patient, positive, and makes every lesson enjoyable. She creates a relaxed atmosphere where you feel comfortable speaking from the very beginning, and she explains everything in a clear and effective way. Every lesson is personalized, engaging, and keeps me motivated to continue learning. I always leave class feeling like I’ve learned something new. If you’re thinking about booking a lesson, I’d definitely recommend giving her a try. I’m really glad I found her, and I’m looking forward to continuing my Spanish journey with her. ¡Muchísimas gracias!

I enjoyed my lesson, thank you very much! I would recommend Maria as a teacher!

Thanks for the trial lesson, it was nice
