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 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!
