We started with Maria in New York. In a very short time she was capable of making my son bring his grade up in Spanish. Then there was a move cross country and we were devastated as it was absolutely impossible to replace her skills. For a month we tried interviewing and could not find any tutor with her capabilities. Thanks to technology, Maria does work with my son via Skype. She's highly skilled and really wants to bring the very best out in a student. Thank goodness for modern technology for allowing us the capability to continue with Maria even though we are three thousand miles away.

Maria is punctual and thorough. She not only wants to teach Spanish as a spoken language, but tailors her lessons to what my daughter's teacher's expectations are and focuses on strengthening my daughter's weaknesses.

Maria always takes her time to let the child come along in the lessons. My daughter really enjoys the time with Maria. We have already seen improvements in her reading.
