Maria

Hello!

Hello, and welcome! My name is Maria, and I have been an English Teacher for 10 years. I have taught many students from very young children to high school students and adults. I truly enjoy teaching kids, and my forte is making the class interesting, fun and productive. I have an extensive video library, and use lots of props and games to make the class productive. I specialize in phonics and pronunciation as well as reading and grammar. I believe learning an new language should be exciting and tailored to each student. I have taught English for many years, and I have encountered many students, some learned English easier than others. This is why you have to particularize on each student's difficulties, and assets to make the learning experience easy and productive. Thank you!

I love to travel, and have lived in many states in the USA. I was born in New York, and have lived in Florida and Oregon. I have also lived for a little while in Lima, Peru, and now reside in the beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta Mexico. I learned Spanish in College, and can speak conversational Portuguese. I know how difficult it can be to learn a new language. I love children and cats, have 3 cats and like to feed strays outside my home. I like to volunteer my teaching skills to poor neighborhoods in my area. I believe that giving is very rewarding. I like to give back ,and I am grateful for all the years of being able to teach wonderful students and getting to know them.
