Hi, I'm your teacher
I'm Maria — an English and Spanish teacher who believes language learning should feel human, useful, and a little bit joyful.
Background
I grew up in Spain and have always loved languages. I have since moved to the Netherlands and bring love to bring my experience of different languages and cultures into my lessons.
Teaching experience
Over 5 years and 4.000+ hours of lessons with students from absolute beginner to advanced (C1), smallg roup classes, 1‑on‑1, and corporate programs.
Teaching philosophy
Languages are built through small, regular, meaningful moments — not perfection. My job is to make those moments feel safe, lively, and a little addictive.
