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.

Today i suddenly realized that i’ve already been studying Spanish with Maria for three years. Time really flies!😂 María is an excellent teacher. We started practically from the very basics, and now we can talk about almost anything. I think there are hardly any topics left that we haven’t discussed but in every lesson i learn something new new words and expressions, grammar and most importantly how to say things naturally and correctly in Spanish Besides being a great teacher Maria is also a wonderful person and a very interesting conversation partner. Her positive attitude and energy are really motivating and make me want to keep improving my Spanish. I always look forward to our next class. Maria, thank you so much for all your hard work and patience! Let’s keep going at the same pace. There’s still so much more to learn and talk about!😎🤗 Muchas gracias!😜

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

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 is great! Always prepared, very professional, but kind and friendly at the same time

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.
