Amazing tutor
Susan, 13 lessons with MariaI needed help in learning Spanish in order to prepare for the upcoming school year, since Spanish is usually my worst subject.

My daughter is thriving with Maria's help
My daughter is a junior in high school and is in IB spanish, which is a total-immersion course. She was really struggling the first couple of weeks in school, despite having received all A's for the first two years of high school spanish, so we wanted to find a tutor to help her keep up. Maria has been fantastic with my daughter. She really goes the extra mile to make sure my daughter understands the lessons, and the individualized help has given my daughter a huge boost in confidence. My daughter had a conversation-exam this week, and her teacher said that he was very impressed, that her conversation really flowed, and it showed that the tutor was really working. I'm very thankful for the help that Maria has given us, and would definitely recommend her.
Albert, 62 lessons with MariaTutor responded:Thank you, Albert. I have really enjoyed the classes with your daughter. I have seen her improve every day, and I am amazed by how quickly she learns and how naturally she develops her language skills. I can also say that she has become more confident and secure in her learning process. Our communication is fun, and we truly enjoy our classes together.
Wonderful Spanish Tutor
Maria is a wonderful teacher to my 5 year old who was learning Spanish as a beginner. She finds ways to adapt to her, make learning the language fun, and my daughter has learned a lot from her only having one lesson a week.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Maria is a very kind, patient, and knowledgeable tutor. She explained things in a way that was easy to understand. I enjoyed my lesson very much and look forward to taking more lessons.
Kathryn, 9 lessons with MariaTutor responded:Hi, Kathryn. I really enjoy our Spanish lessons, especially when we practice conversational Spanish by talking about your love for horses and the mysteries surrounding them. I hope you continue exploring this subject and keep nurturing your passion for horses.
Great teacher!
I take IB Spanish and was very unprepared at the start of the year. I get mostly A’s and B’s and seeing a C in the first quarter for Spanish really ruined my confidence. However, I decided to get a tutor and it was the best decision ever! Maria is very kind and patient and was willing to work with me to better my Spanish. I got a 92 on my final speaking and an 88 on my Spanish essay! If you told me that in the first quarter, I would probably laugh. Anyways, Maria was a great tutor and I look forward to continue working with her for senior year. Gracias!

Outstanding Teacher
She understands that each student learns differently and has different needs. She is able to pin point a student’s weaknesses and develop classes to improve their weaknesses.
