Amazing tutor
I needed help in learning Spanish in order to prepare for the upcoming school year, since Spanish is usually my worst subject. Maria helped me practice my listening and speaking, as well as my reading and writing, which are the main skills assessed in my course. Thanks to her, I've now started this course with more confidence and much more skill. She's very patient and also clearly knew exactly what she was doing, as she had precisely the right strategies to learn certain skills. Essentially, I'd highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in the most effective way possible.

Confidence builder
Maria was supportive and knew just how to connect with my daughter. She was just what my daughter needed to get her confidence back we will be scheduling another session soon.

Knowlegable and patient tutor
Maria had me explain what I use my Spanish for and what kind of help I need. Then she moved at a really fast pace, which she understood that I need at the level I'm at. She won't let me be lazy with my Spanish, and that way I will learn.

Excellent tutor
Maria has really connected with my son and is the first tutor we found who is focused on what he needs to get and maintain an A in his FCPS classes. This has been a great experience so far and we are very satisfied!

Lessons in action
I very much enjoy practicing Spanish out in the open within everyday conversations and flexing that muscle. Maria is patient and very understanding about my skill level.

Patient, Friendly Tutor
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I met with Maria several times for help with my Spanish. I have to say, this is one of those times when you wish you could give more than five stars. From day one, Maria was patient, friendly, and a great teacher. She quickly assessed my skill level and tailored our sessions accordingly, highlighting areas for me to focus on and giving me plenty of helpful exercises. Within our first few classes, my Spanish speaking and listening, as well as my confidence, had already improved noticeably. It was a real pleasure working with Maria and getting to know her. I would absolutely recommend her for your Spanish tutoring needs, no matter your age or experience in Spanish. Muchas gracias, Maria!
