About me

Hello, I am Spanish and I live in Seville, a beautiful city that needs no introduction. For me, the student is the protagonist of his own learning, actively participating in it. That is why I have my students discover the language and the prompts that relate new knowledge to previous knowledge. I use varied resources and I also like to offer the student complementary training means, such as movies or books. I dedicate myself to not only learn Spanish, if I don't know the culture of my country....

Hello, I am Spanish and I live in Seville, a beautiful city that needs no introduction. For me, the student is the protagonist of his own learning, actively participating in it. That is why I have my students discover the language and the prompts that relate new knowledge to previous knowledge. I use varied resources and I also like to offer the student complementary training means, such as movies or books. I dedicate myself to not only learn Spanish, if I don't know the culture of my country. My didactic approach is a communicative approach and pretending that my students can maintain real communication, both oral and written, from the beginning of learning with other Spanish speakers. In any case, personalize the methodology to the age, mother tongue and previous studies of the student, taking as reference points the level and the objective that the student will achieve. I am passionate about teaching Spanish. It all started when I took an intensive course for Spanish teachers for foreigners in a center accredited by the Instituto Cervantes and began to contact students of all nationalities and ages. I realized that it was an enriching job and I wanted to specialize more, that's why I studied a University Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. Teaching children requires specific pedagogical knowledge, so I took a Specialization Course in teaching Spanish to children. I am also an accredited examiner at levels B1-B2 C1-C2, so I have efficiently prepared many of my students for the exams. In addition, I have a degree in Art History and a Master in Contemporary History of Spain, so I can give you a lot of information about Spanish culture. As for other languages, I speak Italian and English. I consider myself a nice, empathetic person who takes his job seriously ... Well, you will tell me. I have been working as a Spanish teacher for foreigners since 2017, combining my work with my own training. I have worked in academies with face-to-face students in Spain and Italy, also in online academies in various countries, but most of my work has been as a freelance. I have experience in both face-to-face and online classes and I have had quite a few children as students. Prior to this I worked in the tourist services sector and in the thematic exhibitions.

Voy a escribir mi experiencia en inglés, así que todos que buscan a una prof de español podrán leerla: I feel very fortunate to have chosen María as my spanish teacher. Felt that I've had a great progression in the language, and most of it I believe that's due to the personal work that she does with which one. Moreover, she's got disponible plenty of materials in addition to a variety of books. Therefore I believe that no one will miss any didactic material. At last, the price is totaly accesible for everyone. What emplies in a democratic access to the learning of spanish through a outstanding teacher, who surely will exceed your expectations.

Excelente profesora. Aprender español el fácil con Maria

María da clases de español por skype a nuestros dos hijos de 8 y 10 años, que aunque son españoles, siempre han vivido en Inglaterra. María les está enseñando a leer y escribir en español y a corregir los fallos gramaticales que hacen al hablar. Los dos se divierten muchísimo en las clases y además están aprendiendo mucho! María les prepara juegos y actividades para las clases que les mantienen muy motivados. Nuestro hijo pequeno era muy reticente a leer en español y mucho más a escribir. En cambio ahora, gracias a las clases de María, está muy entusiasmado con el español y ha empezado a escribir historias y a leer cuentos por propia voluntad.

Unfortunately I had only three classes before having to leave Seville. My goal was to have conversation and I found Maria was very patient and very accommodating with my struggling Spanish. I will contact her again if I return to Seville or perhaps consider on-line tuition.

María is a great instructor! I told her what exactly I wanted to work on. My main focuses were on conversation, tenses, and of course vocabulary. Maria ran her class in a very effective way, so that I could improve to the best of my abilities. She personalized the classes just for me, so that the topics were relevant. She brought interesting materials everyday to change the teaching style, so that it wasn’t to repetitive. I would definitely recommend María as a Spanish teacher!!!
