About Maria
I have an MA in Traditions of Yoga and Meditation from SOAS and an MPhil in Classical Indian Religion from Oxford, where I am currently a doctoral researcher working with original Sanskrit manuscripts. My background is unusual: I came to Sanskrit from computer science and product design, so I know how to explain complex systems clearly. I also practise Ashtanga yoga and have done fieldwork in India. I teach because good Sanskrit tutors in the UK are almost impossible to find, and there is real demand for serious, structured instruction.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
I teach Sanskrit from scratch: script, sounds, grammar, sandhi. No fluff, no textbook filler. You will be reading real classical sentences within weeks. Lessons are one hour, online, tailored to your level and pace. I treat grammar as a practical tool for reading, not an end in itself.
Open to all adults, from complete beginners to yoga practitioners who want to stop guessing what the original texts actually say.

Maria taught me Sanskrit from absolute zero and within a few months I was reading simple verses on my own. She has a rare ability to make a difficult subject feel logical and approachable.
