Bio:

With years of experience and advanced training in language instruction, I offer high-level English conversation classes. My classes are designed to build real confidence through expertly guided, natural conversation. My approach is immersive and practical—focused on helping you speak naturally, fluently, and confidently in real-world situations. Each session is thoughtfully structured yet flexible, allowing us to explore meaningful topics that match your goals and interests.

My teaching methodology:
Hi! I’m Maria, an English teacher who specializes in conversation-based learning. I’m passionate about helping students gain confidence and fluency through relaxed, engaging discussions. Whether you’re practicing for travel, work, or just everyday conversation, my goal is to make speaking English feel natural and enjoyable. In our classes, we’ll focus on real-life topics, vocabulary building, and pronunciation through interactive dialogue. No textbooks, no pressure—just meaningful conversation tailored to your goals and interests. Let’s chat our way to better English!
My teaching background:

I've a Master in Education with a TESOL specialization and over seven years of English teaching experience. I am available for conversation practice with adults who want to improve their English for fun, daily living or work.

My background outside of teaching:

I have lived in several different countries, so I understand different cultures and can teach you how English is spoken around the world. I'm also learning French, so I know the barriers that you face in learning a new language. I know how to keep you motivated in your learning.
