I'm Maria! I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology, and minors in linguistics and translation studies. I love learning about different cultures and languages! My French courses were my most challenging classes at university, because mastering a language is difficult. It requires effort, patience, and failure because the best way to learn a language is to make as many mistakes as possible! My goal as a language tutor is to instill confidence.

I have just spent 7 months living and working in France! It was a dream come true as I have spent the past 10 years studying French. At university, I worked as a teaching assistant for introductory French courses and I helped host French conversation hours. I have aced advanced French writing classes and have curated a portfolio of French to English translations.

I studied advanced linguistic concepts at university. As an anthropology major, I have mastered the art of writing compelling, well-researched, and well-crafted papers.
