Maria - Kilburn tutor






Information About Maria:


Personal Description:

Hi there!

I'm a native Spanish female currently living in London but have been in the UK for a while now (9 years)
I've always been passionate about languages, hence why I studied English and French at uni and eventually made the move to come to the UK. I also studied some Arabic but that's another story :)

In my free time I dance flamenco, I practice yoga and have currently taken on some salsa and bachata lessons. I also enjoy baking and I'm an avid reader.



Teaching Experience:

I have about 2+ years of experience teaching English as a Foreign Language to students between 5 to 40 years old. I was doing this whilst I was still living in Spain and juggling it with my university studies.

Once I moved to the UK (Nottingham) I started teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and my students were between 20 to 40 years old.

I had to stop being a tutor as my main job became more time demanding but I found my way of bringing the rewards of teaching to my main job by becoming a mentor/trainer.



Tutoring Approach:

Everyone has a different learning style so I like to identify that early on and adapt my lessons and my way of approaching things to my student's learning style. If something doesn't work in one way I'm a fast thinker and always thrive in finding alternatives.

I find living in a foreign country is a constant, daily language lesson so I know very well that learning a new language isn't always easy and can be challenging. Because of this, I always try to share my own experience and tools with students to get over those hurdles.
