It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend María Cremades as a Spanish tutor. Maria was my private tutor for 3 months and my Spanish from level zero was improved to the level I was able to communicate. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working and learning with Maria Cremades, and came to know her as a truly valuable educator.

She is passionate about what she does with endless patience and great empathy with her students. Maria has a great enthusiasm for teaching. She was devoted to creating authentic scenarios to help me learn Spanish in meaningful contexts.

We were simulating conversations from daily life in order to utilise the words and combine them in phrases so I can learn how to communicate. She came up with diverse creative and alternative methods of helping me remember the words and associating them with items around me.

Her studies in theatre and dance combining with her knowledge and expertise in alternative teaching methodologies resulted in learning methods that helped me build a confidence of speaking Spanish. We played games which engaged body movement and speaking, read books, listened songs and even worked on Spanish poems of my favourite poet Federico Garcia Lorca.

Her approach is to make learning a fun and enjoyable experience as well as tailoring each class specifically for each student, including excellent and targeted course material.

This joyful and productive learning experience worked so well for me that after the first three weeks of non intensive classes (just 4 hours per week) I was able to negotiate my way around Spain. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to learning Spanish than with Maria!
