About Maria
I am native from a town near Barcelona and I have studied Communication. I teach Spanish and Catalan but also English to Spanish students.
I started teaching at 17 in a nursery school to 3 and 4 year olds. At 18 I helped in an NGO in Morocco by teaching kids in school. In University I started working as a translator and subtitler for films and videos.
From then on I have been teaching both online, through different platforms such as Superprof, and in person, in a Language Academy. I teach both adults and children.
I enjoy teaching and believe it is my passion. I dedicate myself to teaching to make my knowledge available and help my students improve their level and achieve their goals. I am genuinely happy and feel accomplished when my students perform well and improve.
* I can teach in English, Spanish and Catalan (German level A2 and Italian level B1) *
I HOPE I SEE YOU IN MY CLASS :)

My methodology is mainly focused on adapting my lessons to the students' needs and requirements. There isn't one way of teaching a language but, as teachers, we should listen to our students' demands and find the best approach to teach them.
There are people who prefer to focus on their Speaking and Listening to become fluent in conversation. Others prefer to improve their Grammar and Vocabulary (Reading, Writing, Verb tenses, etc). The ideal way of improving is to combine and learn a little bit of everything, focusing especially on the areas of struggle.
My classes are fun and dynamic (nobody likes a repetitive and boring class); I alternate between exercises, activities, speaking cards, music, games, stories, etc. I am open to suggestions from students and I adapt to important dates and exams (projects, presentations, job interviews, school exams, etc).
“All students can learn and want to learn. It is my job to meet them where they are and move them forward.”

Maria has helped me with my Spanish prior to moving to Spain. I am grateful and recommend her as a teacher for her energy and patience.
Very happy with Maria and her ability to make classes fun! She has helped me a lot as a beginner and I feel I have learned quite a lot in this short period of time! Thanks!
Maria has helped me with my pronunciation and vocabulary and since I live in Barcelona she has taught me the basics of Catalan too. Moltes gràcies Maria.
I am currently taking Spanish lessons with Maria to improve my conversation skills and my Spanish accent. She is very easy to understand and speaks slowly and clearly which makes it easier. Knowing there are so many Spanish accents in the world I wanted a neutral Spanish that was easy to understand and speak. She also encourages me to listen and watch Spanish films and music. I strongly recommend her.
Maria is teaching and helping my 9-year-old with Spanish homework. He is enjoying the lessons and tries to teach me a bit as well! Overall I am very happy with Maria's energy and her flexibility with schedules.
Maria helped me with a college assignment that I struggled with. I will definitely contact her in the future in case I need more help with Spanish.
Lessons were for my daughter and she was very happy with Maria as she learned a lot. Will contact her again in the future for more classes when needed. Thank you.
Very grateful with Maria for helping me with such short notice with my exams. I needed to imrove my grammar skills and I felt ready for the exam after 10 lessons with her. Recommend her.
I have been practicing my Speaking and Listening skills with Maria and she has also helped my Grammar. She explains everything in depth and the classes are quite enjoyable. I am moving to Spain shortly and I feel my level has improved and my confidence as well. Recommended.
Maria has really helped me with my Spanish and being native her accent is very easy to understand. She has also helped me with the pronunciation and improving my vocabulary. She has a lot of patience and energy!
