Spanish and/or English ONLINE by a former university professor who has a lot of experience

I am an empathetic, friendly person who knows how to listen and create a climate of trust in a non-judgmental space, where you feel comfortable and advance rapidly.

I have been a professor since I was 7 years old at the University of Limerick and at St. Patrick's College (Dublin City University), in Ireland, and I have only been 16 years old (I have the Cambridge Proficiency, C2). I am a Doctor in Ethnomusicology (social anthropology of music), with 15 years of teaching experience.

I have 8 years of experience teaching English and Spanish in Spain so far (in Madrid and Bilbao) to children, young people and professionals (surgeons, lawyers, businessmen...) of all levels, in group and individual lessons. I have also recently given lessons at the official language school of Donostia-San Sebastián in the Basque Country and to groups in different academies.

My classes are fun and enjoyable (and I can also teach Basque up to level B2 for now and English). They are entirely adapted to your way of learning, your preferences and your interests, following a dynamic method based on oral learning of structures, expressions and vocabulary, but also work on the written part, according to your needs.

I am also a language coach and I will teach you neurolinguistic programming technologies to improve your learning and your linguistic fluency in a short time.

I will be happy to teach you. My goal is: your success.

I really enjoyed my lessons with Maria. She is really kind and the lessons were very good in helping me progress in Spanish. Maria prepared for every lesson and always checked in to see what else I wanted to cover.
Great teacher, very flexible!
This course, which will be experiential, will allow you to acquire useful knowledge of neurolinguistic programming, with very useful exercises to apply to improve your learning of what you propose and different aspects of your life, and to apply with your clients or users if you work in a helping profession. I am a specialist in New Family Constellations from INSCONSFA, a specialization that includes neurolinguistic programming and Transactional Analysis, from which we will also do, and you will learn, very healing exercises.
Specialist in New Family Constellations by INSCONSFA offers experiential classes on the philosophy and tools of New Family Constellations. This course will allow you to know the systemic origin of what happens to us in life, how our family system and its past determine our destiny and current life, and the way to resolve the difficulties that arise, which are nothing more than called of our family system so that we release things from the past and be more present and in life, enjoying what we have. We will see that our destiny changes and lightens as we heal those traumas of the past, integrating the excluded, living from unconditional love for everyone and everything, respecting the hierarchy, that is, our elders and those who have the most important function for the survival of the system or group, of the family, and respecting the force of giving and receiving. During the different sessions - which you yourself decide to take, at your own pace - we will learn and experience the forces of love (orders of love, as Bert Hellinger called them), and the deep dynamics that affect issues such as communication. with our guide, physical health, abundance, work, mental health, parents and children, etc.
I am an empathetic, friendly person who knows how to listen and create a climate of trust in a non-judgmental space, where you feel comfortable and can advance rapidly. I have been a lecturer for 7 years at the University of Limerick and at St. Patrick's College (Dublin City University), in Ireland, where I have lived for 16 years (I have the Cambridge Proficiency, C2). I am a Doctor in Ethnomusicology (social anthropology of music), with 17 years of teaching experience. I have 10 years of experience teaching English and Spanish in Spain so far (in Madrid and Bilbao) to children, young people and professionals (surgeons, lawyers, businessmen...) of all levels, in group and individual lessons. I have also taught English at the official language school of Donostia-San Sebastián in the Basque Country and to groups in different academies.

I am also a language coach and I will teach you neurolinguistic programming techniques to improve your learning and language fluency in a short time. I love animals, and it won't be a problem for me if your cat or dog is present during the class (in fact, I'll be delighted!) I will be happy to teach you the language skills you need. My goal is: your success. Come to Bilbao and learn Spanish or Basque with me (or both!) while you enjoy this beautiful city! ́
