¡Hola! My name is María and I'm from Mexico.
I have 3 years of teaching experience. I majored in Languages from Universidad de las Américas Puebla and I obtained a certification to teach Spanish as a foreign language. My classes use a blended methodology that incorporates grammar and communication activities in a laid-back and dynamic way. I have hand picked or created all the materials according to the needs of my students and I often use resources like audios, videos and games to make the lesson more interactive. My main goal is to help my students feel comfortable expressing themselves and learn at their own pace.
My favorite part of language teaching is getting to know the cultures and interests of my students. I'd be happy to work on a plan that fits your needs. You don't need any previous experience learning Spanish or a foreign language. Since I am also a doctoral student I only have a limited number of hours. However, I have a flexible schedule and if you don’t see a time that works for you we can discuss an alternative during the trial lesson.
Hope to see you soon!

Maria is a great Spanish teacher:) I have been enjoying the lessons a lot, and they are helping me keep my Spanish active and improving. I really like the variety of Maria's exercises; discussing different topics, reading all kinds of texts and doing grammar exercises. It is very helpful that Maria encourages me to use the learned grammar structures in my speech - I improve a lot faster than I used to. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher:)

I am very happy with how Maria is helping me to speak Spanish. I know a lot of words but I am very clumsy at speaking. She is patient with me and speaks to me slowly in Spanish so that I can learn to hear and respond. She also writes down new words for me so I can memorize them later which I find very helpful.
