Perfect! Maria is great at assessing my learning level and giving me challenges to push my Spanish abilities. I like that she is organized, prepared, and has structure to our sessions. This helps me to get the most out of our sessions. She's great!
- Maria's response : Katie is an awesome student. Her attitude is 100% encouraging. She is always ready and willing to learn. Her Spanish is fluent and she is learning pretty fast. I am proud of the work we´ve done so far.
Perfect! Excellent teacher, built lessons around my strength and weaknesses. Adaptable and highly skilled in language teaching. Highly recommend
Perfect! Maria is an excellent Spanish tutor! She is very easy to talk to and understanding. She plans her lessons well and changes to meet your needs/interests.
Perfect! Maria is an excellent tutor. Her teaching style is clear, she has materials ready for all grammatical topics. We work on verbs, sentence structure, prepositions, listening, speaking, writing, etc... Very comprehensive, hitting all parts of speech. She also has time for conversation on topical issues and concerns. Overall, she is everything I was hoping for to help me learn the Spanish language.
Perfect! Maria has a comprehensive grasp on the mechanics and geography of language and grammar, so in addition to learning the "what" and "how" of Spanish I'm also learning the "why" and "where". This is important to me because I prefer to know the rules of communication in addition to merely being able to get around. In other words, Maria is providing a foundation to solve Spanish problems in Spanish rather than English.
I'm supplementing Maria's tutoring sessions with Duolingo every day. I find the combination is highly affective. The language app drills vocabulary into my head and the tutoring allows me to converse and problem solve with the support of a speaking partner.Perfect! Maria is helping out my partner get better at spanish and she does a wonderful job figuring out your level and work out your weaknesses! totally recommended!
Perfect! Maria is an excellent tutor that has been helping me with Spanish. She is always prepared with various online activities that have been helping me become better with reading and listening to Spanish, building my vocabulary, and pushing me to understand grammatical rules. I highly recommend working with her if you want to learn Spanish!
- Maria's response : Kellie is a great student! She is very constant and her grammar skills are pretty solid. She is improving her listening skills at a very fast pace. She will be fluent soon.
Perfect! Native of Colombia, so she knows her stuff. Speaks English well. I enjoy learning from her. Her method is a lot more practical than a classroom, and it keeps your relevant so you can utilize your skills in the real world. Would definitely recommend!
- Maria's response : Paul is a great student. He has solid Spanish bases so we can go through different kind of texts at a fast pace and with his full understanding. He is definitely committed to move forward with his language skills. I’m glad to see his improvements so far.

Maria is a amazing teacher. I’ve worked with Maria for about a year and I plan on continuing my lessons with her until I become fluent in Spanish. Maria is dependable, knowledgeable, and intelligent. She is very patient and also very fun to work with. She is also very creative and makes learning Spanish interesting. Maria has the educational background and extensive experience in teaching the Spanish language, so who ever she teaches will be in great hands. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.
