Hi! I am Maria, a qualified and experienced primary school teacher originally from Spain. I have been living and teaching in London for the past 10 years, working across various roles including Teaching Assistant, Spanish teacher, and currently as a Year 2 Class Teacher in a London primary school.

I am passionate about helping children grow in confidence and enjoy learning. I use a calm, structured approach and always adapt my lessons to suit each child’s pace and learning style. With my strong background in phonics (Little Wandle), SEND support, and cross-curricular teaching, I aim to make learning engaging, focused, and fun. I am especially experienced in working with children who need extra support to thrive, and I love seeing the progress they make when they feel understood and supported.

As a native Spanish speaker, I also love teaching Spanish at all levels, and I bring that same creativity and structure to language lessons—whether we are learning colours, forming sentences, or preparing for exams.

I am warm, encouraging, and always aim to make lessons a safe space where children feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. Whether your child needs support with schoolwork, extra stretch, or help preparing for assessments, I would love to help.

I can support with:

• All Year 2 curriculum subjects
• Phonics teaching & Phonics Screening Test practice
• 7+ entry assessments preparation
• Maths up to Year 6
• Spanish lessons at any level (native fluency, exam prep, or beginner)
