About Ana María
Learning Spanish as an adult can feel exciting, but also frustrating. Many students come to private lessons after trying apps, group classes, or self-study and still feeling blocked when it is time to speak. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.
I work mainly with English-speaking adults who want to build confidence in Spanish for travel, daily life, cultural connection, or professional communication. My students usually want more than casual conversation. They want clear guidance, lessons adapted to their pace, and a teacher who understands that speaking a new language can feel intimidating at first.
I am a native Spanish teacher from Peru with a Master’s degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I also completed further teacher training in Spanish as a Foreign Language through Universidad Ricardo Palma and Instituto Cervantes, as well as an earlier teacher training course through the University of Zaragoza and Instituto Cervantes.
For more than 15 years, I have helped adults and professionals improve their Spanish through one-to-one lessons that are practical, personalized, and focused on real communication.
My goal is not only to help you study Spanish, but to help you actually use it with more confidence, more clarity, and less dependence on translating everything in your head.

My teaching approach is personalized, student-centered, and focused on communication that feels useful in real life. In my lessons, you are not just listening to explanations; you are actively involved in the learning process while I guide and support you in a clear and structured way through online sessions via video call.
I believe students make stronger progress when they understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how to use it in real situations. To achieve this, I combine conversation, grammar support, vocabulary building, listening, reading, and speaking practice in a way that matches your level and goals.
I also use guided activities such as role-plays, short interviews, discussions, practical tasks, and real-life scenarios to help you interact more naturally in Spanish.
If you need grammar, I explain it clearly and then move quickly into practice, so the language becomes usable, not just theoretical. If you need confidence, I create a calm and supportive environment where mistakes are part of the process, not something to be ashamed of.
My lessons are especially helpful for adults who want structure, patient guidance, and meaningful practice. I also value consistency and follow-up, so when needed I reinforce learning with focused notes, extra practice, and clear correction to help you keep improving over time.
I offer the first lesson for free! This is a great opportunity for us to discuss your specific goals, assess your level, and see if we are a good fit for your learning journey.

I highly recommend Ana María as a Spanish teacher. She is an exceptionally talented and versatile instructor who tailors her classes to each student’s learning style and goals, while keeping lessons engaging, motivating, and enjoyable. I am especially grateful for how she helped me understand and confidently navigate the differences between professional diplomatic Spanish and everyday conversational Spanish — a skill that has been incredibly valuable both professionally and personally. Ana María also strikes the perfect balance between creating a supportive learning environment and holding students accountable so they continue making real progress. She is the kind of teacher who will encourage and inspire you to do your best language learning.
Ana Maria takes the time to tailor her sessions to each person. She has a talent for getting to know each individual so that she can present and explain the lessons in a way that engages while focusing on individual learning style. I highly recommend Ana Maria for a thoughtful professional and enjoyable experience.
I had an excellent experience learning Spanish with Ana Maria. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always made lessons engaging and easy to follow. Her teaching style created a comfortable environment where I felt confident practicing speaking and asking questions.
What stood out most was her ability to adapt lessons to my learning pace, goals and time difference because I could only study at night UK time, during day in Lima, Peru. She explained grammar clearly, introduced useful vocabulary, and incorporated real-life conversations that made learning practical and enjoyable.
Thanks to her guidance, I’ve become much more confident in my Spanish communication skills. I highly recommend Ana Maria (Anita) to anyone looking for a supportive and effective Spanish instructor. GraciasI have worked with Maria for many years. She is an excellent tutor who is willing to meet you where you are at in your Spanish learning journey. She is detailed and really helps you build skills tailored to your specific needs. I cant recommend her enough. She has also supported my daughter in high school excel in Spanish as well. Maria is tutor who will truly help you build your knowledge. I look forward to working with her every week!
I enjoyed my Spanish lessons with Ana María! Her English is excellent, so she can explain things easily to English speakers. Her speech in Spanish is clear and easy to understand. She was always on time for the lessons and I never got the sense that we were rushed.
I was an advanced student and Ana María was able to tailor my course to my needs. She offered both advanced topics in grammar and readings that worked well for my level of Spanish. But I have seen her teach less-advanced students and she has a clear and focused approach for beginners.
Ana María is well-traveled and cultured and thus has a knowledge of the world that makes her teaching relevant. She's not just going through a grammar book with you, she's helping you to see something of the modern world through her native language. I know that's harder at the more basic levels of Spanish, but I believe that some of that will come through whatever your level of Spanish.
I can easily give her FIVE STARS!I signed up for lessons on Face Book with Ana Maria and got so lucky! I appreciate her gentle and encouraging teaching style, and she is a perfect fit for adult learners like me. Always with a sense of humor and fun, Ana Maria focuses on my goals as a new Spanish speaker. It has helped me tremendously when I volunteer in Mexico.
I teach French, Spanish, German, English, and Persian in the United States. Therefore, I speak five languages. I've known Ana María for several years, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Spanish. She's the best Spanish teacher I know. She's very kind, very professional, very patient, and very experienced.
