Hello,
My name is Maria, I have a backround in Psychology, and I'm a native English teacher from Canada with Slovak roots. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your advanced language abilities, I can offer tailored lessons to help you achieve your goals.

I specialize in:

Conversational English:
I’ll help you improve your speaking skills, build fluency, and develop natural-sounding pronunciation. We’ll focus on real-world language, including idioms, slang, and cultural nuances.

Grammar and Vocabulary:
I can help clarify complex grammar rules and expand your vocabulary, making sure you're using words and phrases correctly in different contexts.

Writing Skills:
Whether it's writing essays, emails, or creative work, I’ll provide constructive feedback to help you develop clear, well-organized writing. I can help you with grammar, style, tone, and structure.

Listening and Comprehension:
Through conversation, listening exercises, and media recommendations (like podcasts or videos), I’ll help you improve your ability to understand native speakers and various accents.

My backround in Psychology allows me to design lesson plans adaptable to all kinds of learners. I have a strong understanding of cognitive development, behavior, and motivation, which allows me to create an engaging and supportive learning environment. I work exceptionally well with children, utilizing my knowledge to foster positive relationships and build trust.

I provide various materials to support your learning, including novels, your own personal grammar book to take home, and videos for verbal assistance.

Additionally, I often assign reading and writing tasks, which I mark and offer feedback on, and we review them together during our lessons. The key to honing any skill is consistent practice, which continues even outside of our tutoring sessions! :)

Learning any language, and being articulate is the most useful skill you will ever learn in your life.

It is a reflection of your own thoughts, and sharing of ideas that forms the basis for all personal relationships and social cohesion.

It also plays a critical role in education, as English is one of the primary mediums through which knowledge is transferred and understood.

It is not just a tool for communication but a cornerstone of human experience :)

I love teaching and I take my responsibility as an educator seriously, because I understand the profound impact it has on a students' growth and success.
