About Me

I am a person passionate about learning, creating new experiences, and teaching, I have two professions, respiratory therapy, and a language teacher. I combine them to offer you a different learning experience, where, in addition to learning to speak Spanish, you can learn to breathe, to understand your body a little better, and to listen to it.
I love the diversity of the world, and with me, you will find an open mind free of judgment.Me as a Teacher
Me encantan los idiomas desde que estaba en el colegio, para mí ellos son la puerta a diferentes mundos. Me he dedicado a enseñar idiomas desde hace 2 años y medio y me encanta.
Me caracterizo por tener mucha paciencia y por ser una buena oyente, me intereso por las necesidades de mis estudiantes y procuro crear clases que se adapten a las diferentes personalidades y a los diferentes objetivos de mis estudiantes. Más que una clase quiero que tengas una experiencia de aprendizaje.My lessons & teaching style
Let's begin our language session breathing, why? Ask me when we start with the session. Then we will determine your goals, your needs, and your knowledge about the language, then let's have fun learning and practicing Spanish and getting closer and closer to your goal.
If you don't have grammar, bad news, it is the skeleton of the language, but don't worry, my classes are based on 80% of practice, but we still require that 20% of grammar.My teaching material

Maribel es una profesora excelente! Tuve una lección fantástica con ella. :)
Maribel uses different activities and colorful slides to help her students visualize what she is teaching and the games help me to practice what she just taught me in a fun way. She speaks slowly and clearly and is very patient when I don't understand certain Spanish words or sentences. I recommend that you book a lesson with her! She is a great teacher! :)

Maribel is a great teacher! She has the ability to meet students where they are and make them feel comfortable in her classroom. I’m looking forward to taking more classes with her in the future.
