About Maria
Being an educator has been a lifelong passion of mine and I love being in a position to help people reach their dreams and see them grow in confidence. Working in different countries for many years, has taught me the importance of teaching in a culturally sensitive manner. Since a good teacher/student relationship is vital to a student's growth, it is imperative that they feel comfortable in my class from that perspective.

ESL:
I offer English classes to students of all ages / levels of proficiency and tailor classes to each individual's needs. I'm proficient in English, Afrikaans and Arabic, but prefer to teach predominantly in English. I believe that the best way to learn a new language, is in that language. I offer level classes, skills focussed courses and conversation classes to individuals/ small groups where students can improve their confidence and fluency without the fear of making mistakes.
IELTS & TOEFL:
For individuals looking to further their studies abroad and those who want to immigrate to English speaking countries, I also specialise in preparing students for the IELTS and TOEFL tests. The courses are focused on the tests' assessment criteria and will aid you in getting the score you need to fullfil your dreams.

One of the best tutors of all time,she has the spirit for all the fun things mixed with educational content .i like how she puts effort into her career and it pays off
My own experience with her was short because of my work but but I can’t explain how much she benefited me in such a short time.she’s excellent,talented,ambitious and always there for me even after i finished my course .
Miss Maria helped me with grammar alot I didn’t have any basics until she taught me how to use it fluently within conversations and while writing emails etc .such an amazing tutor
Such a good tutor with amazing skills she's close to everyone and I started liking English because she made us feel like that
Let me start off by saying miss Maria is one of the greatest tutors of all time, not because i was one of her students but it’s because of her unique style of teaching by the kind of conversations she has with everyone without making them feel like they’re misspelling a word until they finish and then correcting them in the most gentle way , her creativity and passion for activities and having fun while learning must be studied because i’ve never enjoyed something like her teaching in a while.
first knew Maria as my tutor, and later she became a good friend. I've taken many English courses before, but none of them felt like her lessons. She's always patient, supportive, and really gives her best every time.
What makes Maria stand out is how she connects with her students. She explains things clearly, makes you feel comfortable, and gives you the confidence to actually use English in real life. With her help, I improved much faster than I expected.
If you want a tutor who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about your progress, I truly recommend Maria.Teacher Maria is a highly qualified and culturally knowledgeable teacher. If you want to learn English as a second language, I recommend you join her teaching program and learn to speak English like a native speaker.
Maria is an excellent teacher, I was a student of hers at the institute in Iraq. She teaches in an excellent way, Maria has creative methods of teaching in addition to her dedication of teaching the English language, Maria also friendly and kind.
I've had the pleasure and honor to work with Maria in Baghdad teaching ESL to Iraqi students for more than 5 years. It is without any hesitation I'd recommend her as an ESL teacher. Either online or in person, Maria gives her ALL and is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the English language. Whether she teaches beginners, elementary, intermediate, upper, TOEFL & IELTS prep courses, or Conversational English, one can be rest assured Maria is equipped and prepared! She has such a gift to connect with learners and understand their needs and presents English in a manner that every learner will grow in their skills and abilities. Don't miss out on learning English with Maria, who is a wonderfully talented and stellar ESL teacher!
