I came to Buenos Aires and stayed 7 weeks to improve my tango and learn Spanish. I contacted Maria in the first week. Thanks to her flexibility we could start almost immediately. I took a program of 2 hour class every day including Christmas Eve. At the start I spoke no Spanish at all, but after a couple of weeks I could read without difficulty, understand basic topics and actively respond! She was always well prepared for our meetings and could easily switch to another program according to my mood. She knows a lot about the history of Argentina, South America, and even more about books, art, movies. She can help orientate people in this wonderful city, understand Argentinians and the local habits and is always prepared to advise on where to shop, take in the local culture, see the sights, markets, eat and drink. We explored many mutual interests and became good friends. Thanks C. Maria! I hope you will have such a nice time with all your students!

I took several one to one classes last June/July and August with C. Maria and thanks to her patience, guidance, efforts, dedication and love for languages I was able to "survive and communicate" while travelling around South America for almost a year. The lessons where tailor made - fitted to my needs, fun, interesting and very different to what you would experience in a class room environment. From visits in museums, shopping malls, exhibitions, concerts and the occasional vino tinto I was always motivated and it was more than just a lesson. It was feeling, breathing and living the city. A wonderful experience and the best "souvenir" I got for myself.
Thank you for your dedication and your time Maria!

She is a fantastic Spanish tutor. When I first arrived in Buenos Aires, I took group classes at a language school.
Although, I learned lots of grammar rules there, I didn't have the opportunity to practice my pronounciation or spelling. Maria, on the other hand, emphasized these two points. She provided the one on one attention and customized curriculum that I needed to improve my language skills. Before then, I had been stuck in a rut.
Additionally, the fact that Maria is not only a native of Buenos Aires, but also has a masters degree was a huge plus. From Maria, I learned about both the language and the unique Porteno culture. Taking classes with Maria was like having my own personal spanish professor. Since, Maria is very educated, she has a large and extensive vocabulary. Unlike in group classes, or other tutors, with Maria you will find yourself learning vocabulary words that you are able to use in sophistacted conversations. Of course, it is essential to learn the basics, however, it is also nice to be able to talk like an adult instead of an elementary school child.
Finally, since Maria has taught many students of different nationality and ethniticities as well as spent time abroad (namely a year in the U.S.) she was great at providing cultural comparisions. This helped to provide me with an even deeper cultural understanding.
All and all, Maria was a great spanish tutor. I highly recommend her.

I arrived in Buenos Aires and after taking 10 weeks of extensive group lessons I still had a lot of difficulty with having and maintaining
conversations in Spanish. I knew that the only way to become conversational in Spanish was to take one-on-one classes. I started taking classes with Claudia Maria and found her lessons to be extremely helpful. She has the gift of discovering where you are in your abilities and then coming up with exercises to help you reach the next level in your studies. She has helped me improve my grammar, pronunciation and has given me the confidence to finally say that I can speak conversational Spanish. I was very lucky to find such a patient and intuitive teacher! I highly recommend Spanish one to one lessons with her!!

I lived in Buenos Aires for 6 weeks. During my time in Buenos Aires I took over 45 hours of classes.
The professor, Claudia María, was very flexible with the location of the classes and was willing to bring down the price per class if you agree to take a greater amount of classes. She clearly has taught Spanish for many years and is very good at it. She provides materials and keeps the conversation going on for the whole 2 hours. Ultimately, learning another language is on you and your teacher is only there to help. I recommend taking classes with this program as the teacher is very helpful but I also put work in outside of the class time and to come with questions. 10/10! Good job!
