I am a native Spanish speaker from Madrid, Spain. I have a passion for teaching my native tongue in all its intricacies and cultural varieties. My experience includes tutoring classes and individuals in corporate, school, community, and group settings.

I have taught classes of Kindergarten, middle school and high school students. Therefore, I am ready to discuss teaching larger groups of students if desired.

I teach students of all fluency levels. My older students prefer learning through conversational Spanish and grammar, but I also teach by using a more structured format depending on the needs and preferences of my students. In all cases, I strive to make my classes interactive and fun. Please contact me if you have an interest in learning Spanish or in improving on your current Spanish knowledge.

A Fantastic Tutor

I really, really enjoyed being tutored in Spanish by Ms. Maria while I was home from college during my summer break! She is very attentive, personable, patient, and always making sure you are grasping what she's teaching. She listened and often asked for my input concerning the tutoring sessions and what I wanted to get out of our session, and then was willing to customize her lessons for me. I don't mean to sound trite, but I really do look forward to our sessions every week and for the first time in my student career, I am having fun learning this language!

Understands where I am and my needs

Easy to communicate with. Conversation was fluid and Maria was knowledgeable and understood my status as a beginner and what I would need. Shared her background as it related to my goals.

Incredible teacher, huge progress, relaxed style

My Spanish learning sessions with Maria have been amazing ! I studied with her for a bit more than 1 and a half year, once a week. She quickly understood what type of teaching works for me (I like very informal, not too much grammar etc.) and I am really pleased with the progress I made thanks to her. Because it works for me, we focused on having conversations on different topics depending on the days, and there was always great guidance from her to help me improve vocabulary, conjugation and so on, but in a very relaxed and fluid way. Starting from scratch, I am now able to have conversations with Spanish speakers 😀 Thank you Maria 🙂 You made me learn Spanish !

Thank you Pierre for your feedback. It is a pleasure for me to teach you Spanish and at the same time, to have very interesting conversations on each single class. Looking forward to seeing you each week. Gracias.😊

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Maria is interested in what I am hoping to be able to do as a result of our lessons. She is skilled at creating conversations that require me to use the verbs and practice the correct tenses for the situations. It is very helpful!

My pleasure Gatathri. Thank you so much!

Wonderful Tutor!

We had a wonderful experience with Maria. My daughter was struggling in Spanish II to understand grammar concepts that were not well taught previously. Maria adapted each lesson to fit my daughter's needs often with little notice. With Maria's guidance, my daughter's grade increased to a B+ and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Maria!

Tu y tu familia sois encantadores. I am glad that I still can help your husband and kids improve their Spanish each week. I am looking forward to it!

Ateaher who understands what I’m looking

I am an older married man whose wife’s work has been involved in Latin America. We have many close friends who are active Spanish speakers. My background is in the medical field and foreign languages don’t come easily to me. Our friends speak English when we’re together as a favor to me but I am uncomfortable with that situation and want to join in our discussions in Spanish. I do speak rudimentary Spanish but want to improve my grammatical ability. Maria is the first teacher who understands my goals and has come up with a program to help me meet them. We have just begun working together and I am optimistic about our ongoing relationship

Muchas gracias Cal por tu comentario. Nuestras charlas semanales te ayudan a mejorar dia a dia. Sigue asi! Es un placer para mi poder ensenarte.

Knowledgeable and friendly

My son has been studying Spanish with Maria for 4 months. I wanted him to be able to speak everyday conversations in Spanish. Maria is very knowledgeable, friendly, and works well with kids. My son always looks forward to her lessons and enjoys learning. She is an amazing teacher and motivates my son to work hard in his studies.
