Bonjour! Hello! Are you ready to embark on a language adventure? 🌍 I'm Mari Paz, your English, French, Spanish and Catalan (mother tongue) teacher with a flair for dynamic teaching! I've been fortunate to teach in some of the most picturesque boarding schools across Germany and Switzerland, where I've helped young minds to discover other languages and be confident speakers.

What sets me apart? I believe learning a language should be as fun as a croissant on a Sunday morning! 🥐 My classes are lively, engaging, and filled with creative ways to make learning stick. From structured dialogues to sentence-making games, I provide my students with the tools they need to speak like natives and think in the language.

Whether it's mastering the art of French conversation or nailing English grammar, I'm here to make your learning journey enjoyable and memorable. So, let’s turn those language goals into a delightful reality. À bientôt! See you soon! 🎉

About Me
Hi there!

I am a lawyer and a passionate language teacher (you can check my experience below)

Since I know what it’s like to learn a new language, I make my classes as engaging and stress-free as possible. I’m structured (but not boring, I promise!), committed to helping my students, and pretty good at figuring out what’s holding them back.

My goal? To make learning fun, personal, and effective!

What to Expect in Your First Class:
🔹 Let’s Talk! – We start with some conversation and exercises so I can see where you’re at (don’t worry, no judgment here!).

🔹 Your Interests = Your Lessons – Love movies, sports, or cooking? I’ll adapt our lessons to things you actually enjoy to make you feel comfortable and at ease.

🔹 A Game Plan 🎯 – I’ll set up a calendar so you can see what we’ll cover and track your progress like a pro!

Looking forward to helping you learn in a way that feels natural and fun! 😊
