About Maria

Empowering students to reach their full potential is my passion. With six years of experience teaching elementary students in Math, English, and Science, I create engaging and patient learning environments tailored to each child's unique needs. I carefully observe how students interact with new material and adapt my teaching through visual aids, hands-on activities, and open discussions. Celebrating small victories and breaking down challenges into manageable steps helps maintain motivation. Communication is key, so I provide regular updates to parents to build trust and reinforce learning at home. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student grasps a concept is incredibly rewarding. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I'm comfortable tutoring at your home, online, in a library, or at a coffee shop. I would love to help your child succeed.
