Hey there! I’m Maria. I enjoy helping professionals, aspiring leaders, and students gain confidence speaking English. Most of the people I help are at least B2 English speakers who need to increase fluency and expand their vocabulary, as well as, their ability to express themselves. Some of my students need coaching for public speaking and online presentations that may include interviewing or pitching ideas/products, etc. IT professionals, marketing professionals, and engineers seek my advice to improve their communication skills.

Hello there 👋🏼 I’m Maria. I am originally from Long Beach, California. I have been living in beautiful Belgium since 2019. I am a native English speaker. I also speak Spanish and a bit of Dutch. I love music, drawing, painting, meeting new people, and sharing pretzels 🥨 with my dog. I am a certified TEFL Young Learners Instructor. Young learners are typically 3 to 10 years of age. I enjoy guiding and motivating young learners to develop language skills through interactive activities. I have been working with children for over 10 years. I like to teach through arts and crafts, music and dance, and other interactive games.
