Professional Spanish teacher with more than 10 years' experience helps you achieve your dream of speaking Spanish

Maria is bright, fun, professional, and an excellent communicator in both Spanish and English. I have been working with her on a weekly basis for years and always look forward to my next lesson. Highly recommended!

Classes with Maria are always fun and interesting. Because I already speak Spanish at a relatively high level, Maria has to go beyond going over verb forms or reading a targeted level of literature. As a professor (not of a language) myself, I know that the best way to learn is if either the subject and/ or the method of teaching incorporates a sense of humor. Maria's sense of humor is outstanding! Every class is terrific!

I have studied Spanish with Maria now for several years and she is without question the best Spanish teacher I've worked with. Maria has played a huge role in my Spanish speaking development in which I have grown from a nervous beginning Spanish speaker to a confident upper intermediate one (working my way to advanced).

When we started classes, we discussed my goals and how best to achieve them working together. In the beginning, we focused on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation using books, videos, and various exercises. She has always been very patient, and I felt comfortable enough with her to make mistakes. She offers kind corrections with detailed explanations of new concepts.

As I've progressed in my Spanish learning, our classes have become more conversational covering different topics ranging from daily life to movies, politics, history, travel, etc. Maria has always been flexible with her teaching method and has catered our lessons to my individual needs and preferences. I always look forward to classes with Maria. After so much time working together it is like talking to a friend who happens to also be a great Spanish teacher!

During my time studying Spanish, I have worked with many different teachers in one-on-one classes. Maria is by far the best! I highly recommend her and am confident that she can help you achieve your goals in learning Spanish.

As an Argentine tango dancer, I needed more than just a Spanish teacher—I needed someone who could help me connect with the soul of Buenos Aires. That's exactly what I found in María Trubba.
María brings a unique perspective to language teaching. Before becoming a Spanish instructor, she taught Argentine tango, which gives her an incredible understanding of cultural nuances that textbooks simply can't capture. For someone like me, learning Spanish specifically to deepen my connection with tango culture, this combination is absolutely perfect.
What sets María apart is her remarkable ability to juggle multiple teaching elements simultaneously. Like a skilled conductor orchestrating a symphony, she seamlessly weaves together conversation practice, grammar corrections, vocabulary building, and cultural insights—all while maintaining a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where laughter is just as common as learning.
Her teaching approach is refreshingly practical. Rather than following rigid lesson plans, María tailors each session to real-life situations and personal interests. Our conversations cover everyday topics that matter to me, building a vocabulary I actually use. She has an intuitive sense for exactly what each student needs at their particular stage of learning.
María's patience and encouragement create a safe space where making mistakes feels like stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. She celebrates progress, no matter how small, and her genuine enthusiasm for teaching is contagious.
I wholeheartedly recommend María to anyone serious about learning Spanish, especially if you're looking for:

Authentic cultural insights beyond textbook Spanish
Personalized lessons that adapt to your interests and goals
A teacher who makes learning feel like chatting with a friend
Someone who understands the connection between language and culture

Whether you're learning Spanish for tango, travel, or any other reason, María will guide you on your journey with expertise, warmth, and plenty of good humor.

My name is Jason Taylor and I have been studying on line with Maria for 5 years. In that time I have gone from complete beginner and passed both my DELE A2 and B1 exams with the Instituto Cervantes. I’ve taken my B2 recently and awaiting the results.

María is an excellent teacher and she will help guide you expertly along the pathway to proficiency in Spanish. It has changed my life being able to speak Spanish.

Maria is the best. I’ve been getting tutoring with Maria for over 6 months now. She is very patient, knowledgable and warm. She is an excellent tutor and makes learning feel easy and fun. Could not recommend Maria more highly!

Maria is an amazing teacher! I’ve been taking classes with her for four years and have learned so much! I recently traveled to South America and was able to talk to people and interact in Spanish because of all she’s taught me! Highly recommend!

I have been using Maria as a teacher for the better part of a year. We started communicating online and then I finally had the opportunity to meet in person and she was just as lovely and I can finally call her my friend

From a teaching style, she can guide you or you can set the tone. What worked for me was that we kept a white board of terms I needed to practice, but we focused just on conversation as my goal was just to improve listening and conversation skills. After a year, I have had friends and people abroad compliment me on how good my spanish is and how much I sound like an Argentinian Gringo :D.

If you are considering her, I would look no further. Seriously, she is that good, trust me. I owe her a lot on how much better at Spanish I am

I have been studying Spanish with Maria for over two years, and my progress has been incredible. My speaking, listening, and grammar skills have all greatly improved thanks to her expert guidance. Maria is not only a very professional teacher, but she’s also fun, trustworthy, and truly caring. She creates a supportive and engaging learning environment that makes every lesson enjoyable and effective. Her passion for teaching and dedication to her students shine through in every class. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking to learn or improve their Spanish with a teacher who genuinely wants you to succeed. :-)

Maria has that perfect combination of expertise and warmth that the best teacher’s have. Shes’s incredibly smart, prepared, and encouraging, with a great sense of humor that makes classes not only rewarding but fun. Highly, highly recommend.

María is an outstanding tutor. I’ve been learning Spanish with her for several months and am delighted with my progress. She meets you where you are and tailors the learning experience to your ability and interests. Most importantly, she is a joy to talk to and keeps language learning fun!
