Would you like to speak Spanish? I can help you learn Spanish for whatever purpose you need (travelling, business, studies, certificates). I also teach English.
My name is María,, and I am an experienced native Spanish teacher, (Doctorate Studies in Teaching using new technologies. I graduated in English Philology and have my Master's in teaching Spanish and English as a Foreign Language). I own a language school for more than 33 years, where English and Spanish are taught. I prepare students for Instituto Cervantes, Trinity College London and Cambridge Certificates.

Teaching is my world. My students feel constantly motivated and in a few months, they can see how much they are learning. My classes are entertaining and focused on make the student speak and communicate, both speaking and writing. I love bringing cultural aspects to the lessons because learning a language is not just the academic side but customs, education and manners, among others.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact me, it will be a pleasure to help you.
Regards,
Maria.
