About Me

👋 Hello. My name is María. I'm from Colombia.
👩 Spanish as a foreign language tutor for more than two years.
🎨 I love social and cultural topics, painting, literature, and music.
📚 There is nothing like a good song, a good book, and a good coffee.
🤓 I am a social communicator and journalist specializing in education.
🌎 I like to learn about cultures, their identity, and languages. Also, I love to study (I'm a fan of doing online courses and training myself in different subjects).
👉 If you think I can help you with anything, don't hesitate to write to me 🙂Me as a Teacher
I am an ELE teacher with three years of experience and certification in pedagogy. My friendly approach is grounded in creativity, patience, and cultural connection. I employ dynamic methods, incorporating music, film, technology, and literature while fostering a stress-free environment. As a passionate language enthusiast, I have a profound understanding of the learning process, and my primary goal is to guide my students toward achieving their language goals while ensuring they enjoy every step of the way.My lessons & teaching style
As an ELE teacher, my goal and priority is to create an attractive, creative, and friendly environment. I personalize purposes, use a combination of authentic materials, encourage active interaction, and employ technology. I offer constructive feedback, adapt to different learning styles, and contextualize within the Spanish-speaking culture. I prioritize kindness, patience, and motivation while maintaining a balanced evaluation. My goal is for students to have fun while developing solid Spanish skills.My teaching material

María is one of the few teachers that I enjoy conversing with. She has been a tremendous help especially in those areas where I struggle to speak coherent Spanish and she intuitively knows where to steer the conversations so that I get maximum opportunity to work on those weaknesses. At times during our conversation practice, and especially when I find myself battling uphill on crutches to find the vocabulary to express myself, she will encourage me to give it my best shot, then we would explore the different ways I could have expressed what I wanted to say. I definitely appreciate this approach because I have noticed a sizeable difference in my ability since I started conversation practice with Maria.
I rarely have time to write reviews due to a hectic work/life schedule but here I am. Maria should be everyone’s “go to” if you want to level up in Spanish.
