I started French tutoring with Maria about 4 months ago and it has been incredibly beneficial. I work for a large financial corporation and I wanted to increase our business presence in the French speaking countries in North Africa. Maria has been the absolute professional and thinks outside the box to make my learning as beneficial for my intentions as possible. I started with a very basic knowledge of my GCSE french and am now in a position where I can understand and participate in live conversations, the speed of leaning is amazing. Obviously it all depends on how much work one puts in outside of class lessons, but the ability to learn quickly is great. I would definitely recommend Maria and her company.

I have been taking classes to improve my French and Spanish with Learn&Co for the past year and I have to say I'm loving it. I'm impressed with the quality and structure of the lessons. I feel like I'm making great progress. A few months after I started taking French classes, I was quickly able to apply what I learnt during our lesson and hold my first meeting with investors completely in French, something I was extremely proud of.
As for my Spanish, I couldn't recommend Learn&Co's tutor more. She's helped me gain confidence again, and develop further the foundations I already had. Travelling to France and Spain for business meetings is now a completely different experience. It's proven to reap much faster results with our clients and investors and it wouldn't have been possible without my amazing tutors.

I really enjoyed my lessons with Maria. They were fun and interactive even when they had to shift to virtual lessons because of Covid. I feel much more confident in my french grammar and listening abilities. Maria recommended some fab short stories and french video series which have been a tremendous help. Thank you!

Maria has been a great teacher. I wanted to develop my tiny bit of tourist Spanish. She made it fun while using mixed media for teaching spoken and written Spanish. Even grammar was enjoyable!

I had it in the back of my mind to start learning Spanish again having left it 15 years. Upon meeting Maria in person, her confidence and enthusiasm for her teaching convinced me to make the plunge and I began immediately with two 2hour online sessions each week. The depth and the detail that Maria went into from day one far surpassed any language lessons I had previously. She applied clear structure and immediately began to build a picture of how the language was built a whole. Lessons with Maria are clear, productive and above all enjoyable.
She applies the perfect balance of encouragement and challenge and as a result, I was very pleased with the rate at which I progressed. I think she is a good judge of character, because she knew just how hard to push me. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Maria has been helping me learn Spanish this year and has also taught me French for a few years now. I have consistently received top grades (at A-Level and in university) because of her help. She provides lots of support and makes learning both interesting and fun. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor for both beginners and more advanced students!

I've been studying with Maria for just under a year now and couldn't recommend her enough! She's a wonderful person and a great teacher. I'd always wanted to learn French and finally decided to get going and start studying. I found Maria on a Google search for my local area and from the very first lesson she was great at talking me through the language and encouraging me to give it a go. I think her best quality is she's always pushing you to step out of your comfort zone and stretch yourself.
It really helps build your confidence in the language. Whilst I definitely have many moments of frustration with my own confidence and understanding, Maria is always incredibly patient and supportive! On top of that, the thing I've personally most enjoyed about Maria's style is she helps you to understand the language as a whole. Quickly learning the rules and structures that make up the foundation of the language has really helped my reading skills in particular. I'd definitely recommend learning French with Maria, I'm really looking forward to continuing my studying with her.
