About Me
italki teacher since Oct 5, 2021InterestsFilms & TV SeriesArtTravel
Hi! I'm Maria, a foreign language teacher with experience in education. I have taught English to adults, adolescents, and children and I've been working as a Spanish tutor for foreigners here on Italki.
I'm all about being friendly and patient in my interactions. There's something truly amazing about connecting with people from different countries, swapping stories about our lives, and immersing ourselves in each other's cultures. But you know what really gets me excited? Languages! They're like these beautiful bridges that help us cross into different worlds. Teaching them is my jam – there's nothing quite like seeing someone's eyes light up when they grasp a new phrase or concept.Me as a Teacher
I have a degree in foreign languages and have 2 years of teaching experience in English, along with 1 year of tutoring in Spanish. I possess the skill to seamlessly adjust, especially in the virtual classroom, ensuring students feel at ease and content. I also make sure to motivate students with dynamic activities and materials, and I adapt to what students truly want to learn, all aimed at achieving success in their learning journey.My lessons & teaching style
Welcome to my language classes! As a graduate in foreign languages with a genuine passion for teaching, I bring a unique blend of experience and enthusiasm to the learning journey. I've honed my skills in creating engaging and effective lessons that cater to each student's individual needs and goals. I foster a comfortable, interactive space, encouraging questions and discussions. My classes don't just teach languages; they empower students for global communication success. Let's make language learning an exciting journey together!My teaching material
