Information about Maria
Im a trained and experienced linguist passionate about languages and teaching with several years of tutoring experience.
I`m a native Spanish with a Master`s Degree in French and a Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (English/Spanish) from the Institute of Linguists.
Im outgoing and patient, very committed to my work. I strive to create interactive lessons tailored to individual learning styles in a relaxed environment conducive to learning.
I believe anyone can learn a language. You dont need to be a linguist, in fact, most of my students aren`t.
Willingness to learn, commitment to learning and the right support are the keys for you to learn a foreign language.
I am particularly good at motivating students (both young and mature) to believe in themselves and overcome the self-limitations about their ability to learn and speak a foreign language. As a result they are, often for the 1st time, able to make progress, grow in self-confidence and be able to understand basic grammar concepts and structures that were keeping them stuck.

Flor has been an amazing tutor ever since her first session half a year ago. She is always reassuring and supportive. My daughter started year 8 in a new school with zero foundation in French but she feels comfortable with Flor`s approach after her first session. She is very resourceful and always places great emphasis on my daughter`s need and way of learning. She keeps close communication with me and always been both professional and positive.

My daughter in Year 12 is studying A Level Spanish. A few weeks ago she started having online tutoring with Flor once a week for an hour. She says that Flor is " very friendly and lovely. " She is really enjoying the sessions, and Flor has been so encouraging and supportive. She has really helped to build my daughter`s confidence in making that tricky transition from GCSE to A Level Spanish. Speaking in particular is something she was reticent about, and Flor has been great in getting her to speak more. Since Flor is a native speaker my daughter is really benefitting from her insights into all aspects of the language and the culture. in addition, Flor has set weekly little manageable homework tasks to reinforce the learning. I highly recommend Flor.
