About Maribel

¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás? I'm Maribel, a qualified native Spanish teacher with a background in psychology and years of experience helping teenagers succeed in their Spanish GCSE.
I specialise in supporting students who struggle with language learning, whether due to exam pressure, low motivation or different learning needs (ADHD, autism, or other challenges). My job is to understand how your child learns, so they can thrive. I’ll prepare them for the exam, but also help them develop a lifelong skill they’ll carry into future travels, studies or careers.
I’ve worked with dozens of students across the UK, helping them achieve higher marks, greater independence, and genuine curiosity for Spanish. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how teenagers learn and what they need to thrive, I’d love to help.
I guide each student to build confidence, enjoy the process, and perform at their best. Not just for the exam, but for life!

About the lesson

Each lesson is tailored to your child’s goals, needs and learning style.
My method combines brain-based strategies, study coaching, and engaging content to make Spanish easier to remember and more enjoyable to learn. I design custom learning programmes, and every class is structured to build real understanding and memory — with clear goals, visual support, and active techniques that stick.
We follow the Spanish GCSE curriculum closely, but always go beyond it: building vocabulary, grammar, listening, and speaking through tasks that make sense to the student. I also help teens develop study strategies, emotional confidence, and a deeper connection with the language.
Students learn at their own pace, with interactive materials and dynamic activities that keep them motivated.
Whether they aim for a top grade or need to rebuild confidence, I create a safe, structured and encouraging space to grow.
Learning Spanish with me is about understanding, expressing, and truly owning the language.

Perfect! I've been learning with Maribelle for a few months now. She was really accommodating in finding the best format for me and we tried a couple of different ways before deciding how to move forwards. Maribelle has great teaching materials and is well organised. She asks for and listens to feedback in order to tailor lessons to individual needs. Really enjoying the lessons so far. Thank you.

Maribel's response
Farida began searching for something more comfortable than the group lessons she was taking, and I'm pleased to know that she found it with me. I can see how much she enjoys the language and how much she wants to learn it. She's responsible and communicative about her aims and needs, and that's something I'm thankful for. In just a few lessons, I can see how much she has improved, and also how interested she is in continuing to do so.

Jen is nice and polite. She is self-taught in Spanish, and I could see how good she is at understanding and finding the logic of the language by herself. I'd love to accompany her in achieving her goals, being more confident in her knowledge, and providing her with the grammar rules she needs to speak comfortably and fluently.

Perfect! I love learning Spanish with Maribel as we always talk about interesting topics. She does not allow me to spend much time talking English as my brief was that I needed to learn mainly to speak in Spanish. However, saying that Maribel always has some interesting grammar and tense tips that she likes me to learn and understand. and to be truthful I actually enjoy this part of the learning too as it helps to make sense of the language. She has such a pleasant way about teaching me, it really is a pleasure to learn with Maribel. I would recommend her to anyone as I feel very comfortable with her. She does not teach in an intimidating or strict way and is hugely patient too. Thank you Maribel

Lisa and Jamie were very fun from the start. She's lovely, and her son is very attentive and tries to learn and understand as much as possible. He wants to use the language and improve it for the GCSE, and I'm sure he'll be able to achieve the best grades just by looking at how motivated he seems to be. I hope to help him to improve and keep learning!

Perfect! I have been taking classes with Maribel for several weeks now and am very happy so far! She is friendly, conversational, attentative to my needs as a student and very professional. In her classes, Maribel is very good at achieving the right balance between correcting my mistakes and allowing the conversation to flow. I like the teaching materials she uses and I am very impressed by her ability to use the materials as a launch pad for further conversation practice. Her classes are varied and she sets a different range of activities. In addition there is a different focus each lesson too. Regardless of your age, ability or motivation for learning, I highly recommend Maribel as a language teacher.

Graham started the lessons in a perfect mind space. Motivated and ready to speak in Spanish during the whole lesson, even if there are some words he may not know, he tries his best to be able to understand by using the context. I find it formidable! I hope to keep teaching him because that spirit is something I love to see in my students.

Perfect! It's been 3 months so far that I have been learning Spanish with Maribel. During our time working together I have expanded not only my Spanish vocabulary but my understanding on why the words that are spoken in Spanish are utilised depending on the context of the situation. In addition, Maribel has been very helpful in terms of her teaching approach as she has got to know me as an individual and therefore has based her teaching on my current understanding of the language. There are many benefits with working with a tutor like Maribel such as listening to your wants and needs, ensuring that lessons are engaging and interesting, answering questions that you do not understand, being patient as she understands that there are some aspects of the language that may take time to marinate and many more. All in all if you are looking for a tutor that can help you excel in the language I will advise working with Maribel but as things go in life you cannot expect to get the result you want if you don't put 100% effort just like Maribel does with her teaching.

Molly is so intelligent and enjoys Spanish so much. She's always putting a great effort into learning. She is always trying to remember what she knows and the things she is learning. I really admire her and her eagerness to be a little bit better in every class!

Do you speak this language fluently because of your origins or because a teacher inspired you to learn?
I speak Spanish fluently because it's my birth language. But I don't think that's all you need to be able to teach a language. It's essential to know grammar and how to explain each detail easily. It's pretty usual for us to believe our language works in a certain way because we get used to using it frequently. But, not so many people ask themselves: "Why is this like that" or "What rules am I using while speaking." We, as teachers, need to think about that and translate to our students the answers to those questions in a way they can understand too. That's why we study and ensure to make the language easier for our learners.
Can you name a living, historical, or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?
That is a tricky question for me. Spanish is a language we use in twenty countries. Each country has its culture, its characters, and its history. That makes it a little bit difficult to name just one. Although, I'll speak for Latin America and say someone we all know is "El Chavo del Ocho." He is a fictional character that people between 18 and 50 know. Even outside those age gaps, they may know him. He is a character from a series we all watched when we were younger. I believe he is someone we can relate to and make us remember our childhood.
Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition, or behavior in the language that you particularly like?
Yes, we have this phrase: "Por si las moscas" which means: "just in case." But the actual translation of it is: "for if the flies." I find this amusing and helpful to explain something essential when we learn a language. If you really want to learn to "translate" everything is not the best way. We can use in different ways in each language phrases and words.
Why does speaking this language matter to you?
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, giving you access to a diverse range of cultures and people. From Spain to Argentina. Mexico to Colombia. Cuba to Ecuador. There are so many cultures and different ways in the world to speak Spanish. I want to share that and my excitement for my language with people interested in learning.
What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?
Grammar is something difficult to grasp when trying to learn Spanish. Therefore I don't recommend Duolingo as the only source to learn the language. Hiring a tutor or a teacher is the best option. This person can help you to avoid making mistakes and keep them in the future. Also, being motivated and eager to learn usually helps a lot. I focus on maintaining that during our lessons. Another recommendation is to change your cellphone language! It is fun, and it helps to learn vocabulary too.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.
One of my biggest hobbies is writing. Literature and grammar were something I enjoyed a lot when I was younger. Of course, now I read what I wrote in those days, and it's fun because of the many mistakes I used to have. Of course, that didn't stop me at that time. I studied more, even at home. If I had doubts, I google them to ensure I was writing things correctly. Even when I was, I wanted to make sure until I felt confident enough. That's how it is to learn a language in general. We begin this journey with baby steps until we get enough confidence to speak and use the language. Learning a language is not something an app or a teacher can give us. It is something we need to want and to have the motivation to study, to search. We need a ferreous curiosity so we can improve and get better!
How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?
I'm a person who enjoys meeting people. I've met my best friend online and many people the same way. I'm connected to other countries in Latin America, which allows me to access the local Spanish they speak there. I'm from Argentina, but currently living in Spain. This journey has been nutritious for me since I could learn how they use the language here. It was so interesting to recognize the differences we have on it, even in the same language, depending on where we are. You are not the only one who wants to learn Spanish. Learning this language is something I d every day, by learning how they use the language in other countries. Doing it is so fun for me! I'd also like to say that we are always learning something new about this language together.
What makes you a Superprof in language?
I've been working as an online teacher for long enough to be able to bring to the class materials, games, and different topics entertainingly and differently. I do not use books, I enjoy using images, presentations, and interactive games where you need to think, but the approach is fun enough for you to remember the topics we are learning. I've worked with different people with different aims, and I was able to watch them improve and be better in each class. I don't think I'm a Superprof only because of my methods or because I've been teaching for a while. I'm sure of that because of the success stories my students tell me after their travel.

Spanish GCSE specialist and native. With a background in psychology, I help all learners connect, grow and thrive through language. No matter how they learn!
