Maria

I am a friendly and dedicated tutor with a real passion for languages and over 15 years` worth of experience. I enjoy working methodically and thoroughly and at the same time making subjects approachable and understandable. I`ve always been a bit of a grammar nerd, and my excitement for it shines through.

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 meeting new people, which is another reason why I find tutoring very exciting.

Availability: My schedule is quite flexible. I prefer Mondays to Fridays, with weekends as an occasional back-up.

Willing to travel: 50 miles

Experience: I have been working as a language and drama tutor since graduating from university in 2011. Since 2020, I have moved my business almost exclusively online, and found it works perfectly well. I have taught:

- EFL (A1 to C2 as well as IELTS general and Academic)
- Romanian (all levels)
- French (beginner, GCSE, A-level)
- Spanish (beginner, GCSE, A-level)
- German (beginner, GCSE)
- Drama (audition technique, improvisation, introduction to acting)


I currently tutor mostly online. I find it works perfectly well with everyone over 11 years of age. I use Microsoft Teams or Google Meets.
