Bio:
Hi, I’m Maria! I help adult learners and professionals improve English for work, interviews, presentations, and tests like IELTS/CELPIP. Lessons are practical, online, and tailored to your goals. I offer a 30-min trial to discuss your objectives and a 60-min full lesson for deeper learning.
My teaching methodology:
In my classes, students can expect practical, goal-oriented lessons designed to improve confidence, fluency, and professionalism in English. Lessons are interactive, personalized, and focused on real-life situations, including workplace communication, conversations, presentations, interviews, and test preparation (IELTS/CELPIP). I provide clear explanations, constructive feedback, and structured exercises, so each lesson is productive and results-driven. Students will also receive guidance on pronunciation, vocabulary, and writing as needed. All lessons are online, flexible, and designed to fit busy schedules, particularly evenings and weekends. My approach ensures that every student leaves a lesson with actionable skills and a clear plan to continue improving. Ready to speak English confidently at work or in daily life? Book a 30-min trial lesson today and let’s create a practical plan just for you!
My teaching background:
I have been teaching English as a Second Language for several years, working with adult learners, newcomers, and professionals from a wide range of countries and industries. My experience includes teaching workplace communication, conversation skills, test preparation (IELTS and CELPIP), and general English fluency. I focus on practical, goal-oriented lessons, helping students improve confidence, clarity, and professionalism in English. I adapt my teaching style to each learner’s pace and needs, using a combination of structured exercises, conversation practice, and real-life simulations to ensure lessons are engaging and results-driven. Evening and weekend online lessons make it easy for busy learners to participate.
My background outside of teaching:
In addition to my TESL Canada certification and Master of Education, I have extensive experience working with professionals and adult learners in diverse environments, which helps me understand the challenges of learning English while managing work and life responsibilities. I am patient, supportive, and committed to helping learners achieve practical outcomes, whether it’s workplace communication, professional writing, or test preparation. My background in education equips me to tailor lessons to each student’s learning style, provide clear guidance, and create a motivating learning environment. I enjoy helping students gain confidence and independence in English, so they can succeed both personally and professionally.
