Mariaje is an amazing teacher! She always brings a positive aura and certainly knows how to make learning fun, and I always walked out of her classes knowing that I was a better Spanish speaker and knew more about the culture.

I was really lucky to have Mariaje as my Spanish teacher in a beginner’s class at the LAE school in Madrid. Mariaje is also at ease with sign language for the deaf or hard of hearing and she put her talent for mime to good use with us beginners.

Mariaje is without a doubt, the best teacher I have ever had. I was raised by teachers and am one myself and she excelled at creating an atmosphere in her classes which were simultaneously inclusive and challenging. She made me feel like I could learn anything and provided a multitude of creative activities to liven up even the most mundane grammar points. Mariaje made every class come alive and inspired us to keep pushing ourselves.

I was lucky enough to have Mariaje as my Spanish teacher when I arrived in Spain in 2017. She is an excellent teacher who pays close attention to the needs of each of her students and tailors her lessons accordingly. I can’t recommend her highly enough and am sure that she will excel in any role she finds herself in!

With broad knowledge and an approach adaptable to the individual, Mariaje gave me the confidence to get out and give it a go. One of the hardest obstacles to overcome when I relocated to Spain was the language barrier, but her interactive teaching style and dedication to my success has ensured that my Spanish has not only improved drastically, but that I’ve also enjoyed myself in the process.
