Personal Description:
Spanish native private tutor from Madrid, Spain, living in Horsham since July 2009. I really enjoy teaching my language to anyone who is interested in learning it.
Teaching Experience:
Private tuition lessons for twelve years in Spain, including Spanish language to speakers of other languages.
Teaching Approach:
I speak Spanish with learners since the first class. Spanish material specially designed for speakers of other languages, both children and adults, and for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced).
I design specific courses for learners, depending on what they want to learn (spanish for children, as a second language, business oriented, for their holidays, conversation, grammar and so on).
1 to 1, and groups up to 4 (more than that is ineffective)

Muchas gracias María
From David (/5): I am very pleased to have found this excellent tutor.
From Julia (/5): We thought we'd be quite a challenge for Maria. Austrian 41 (no Spanish, but some Italian) and English 66 (a little Spanish) wanting to learn / improve Spanish together (2:1), off to Spain in a couple of months to visit friends. But no, Maria is very good indeed! Our main wish was to learn Spanish in order to lead conversations in Spanish with our Spanish friends. Polite thing to do we thought. We know that Maria is also an excellent teacher for kids and other students and that she is perfect when it comes to grammar and all that. We don't neglect that part either, but the emphasis for us is on conversation and - already after only 5 tutorials - we can actually lead some sensible conversation. No doubt we'll surprise our friends in Spain! We think it is important to learn Spanish with a Spanish 'native' as a teacher and Maria was the only Spanish 'native' in our area, so an easy choice. Luckily Maria turned out to be really the best choice, as she is absolutely lovely, intelligent, witty, well prepared and we always look forward to our lessons with her. Even though my husband had already some Spanish I wasn't holding him back and at the same time I wasn't overwhelmed - Maria manages to teach the two of us at the same time. We highly recommend Maria! We couldn't be happier.
Reply from: Maria: Wow, thank you!

From Phil (/5): The boys look forward to their lessons with Maria who has already demonstrated the ability to pitch the learning at the right level for both of them as individuals whilst still keeping it a fun 'both learning together' experience for them.
Reply from: Maria: Thank you boys!
