Maria

I am a friendly and dedicated tutor with a real passion for languages. I enjoy working methodically and thoroughly and at the same time making subjects approachable and understandable. To be honest, I`ve always been a bit of a grammar nerd, which seems to help.

Coming from a family with a long tradition of teaching, I have a natural gift at breaking down information and making it accessible. I also love traveling and meeting new people, which is another reason why I find tutoring very exciting.

maria is truly a wonderful tutor. not only was she encouraging at patient, but also made sure that my daughter was able to achieve the grade that she wanted. at the beginning of year 10, she was getting grade 5s in french but in her actual GCSEs, she managed to get a 9!! She really couldn’t have done it without maria and her help. Highly recommend Maria as an xcellent tutor.

"Maria is a remarkable tutor with a broad range of teaching skills and a lot of
patience and adaptability to her student`s needs! We have contacted her for my
boyfriend`s mother who could barely speak English and is also struggling with
attention and focussing issues and we can say she has done an excellent job!
We could see the improvement from the very first months and she really progressed
since they started working together. Teaching a second language to adults who only
speak their native tongue is quite a difficult task and we can`t recommend her enough
for the job, she`s a pro!"

She uses lots of examples and notices every mistake, even the minimum

"Maria is teaching German to me and my 7-year old daughter both had
no previous knowledge and I can suggest her as fast progressing
learning teacher. She is strict and well prepared. It`s been a
pleasure working with her."
