Maria Florencia in a nutshell
I have a very international exciting background. Born in Argentina to a Spanish/Italian family, travelled to Mexico when I was four, grew up there and travelled around Central America, living in Costa Rica for a while.
Went back to University in Argentina to read Spanish Language and Literature, did a Graduate course on teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, and later another degree in Classics...
I have a very international exciting background. Born in Argentina to a Spanish/Italian family, travelled to Mexico when I was four, grew up there and travelled around Central America, living in Costa Rica for a while.
Went back to University in Argentina to read Spanish Language and Literature, did a Graduate course on teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, and later another degree in Classics, as I love languages and linguistics. Moved to Oxford in 2004 to do a Masters and a Doctorate in Philology, which gave me great insights into languages, their structures, connections, use and fascinating history.
I have many years teaching experience in Spanish, Latin and Ancient Greek at Primary Schools Clubs, Secondary Schools (GCSE, A level), as a private tutor, teaching Business Spanish for several companies in Oxford, as well as to adults and casual learners.
I am a very professional knowledgeable tutor, concerned with the progress and success of all my students. Very organized, I teach in a fun and exciting, yet structured easy to follow way. My explanations are clear and precise. I always try to make difficult subjects easy by using practical examples, exercises, visual aids, games, interesting readings and audio-visual material.
I create fun materials for my students to use, and challenge / interest them with fascinating topics from around the Hispanic world. I have an Instagram account where I post my "Remedial Spanish Grammar in the Car" fun little videos to help my students remember difficult structures.

Florencia tutored my daughter through her GCSEs and a level Spanish. She was so patient and encouraging and my daughter looked forward to her sessions each week. They were invaluable in helping her talk more confidently and helped with her written work too. I highly recommend her.

I’ve known Maria Florencia for many years as a tutor of Spanish and Classics. She is a highly qualified and experienced educator and brings great energy, motivation and inspiration to her teaching. She tailors her lessons to the interests and abilities of her pupils and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals. I fully recommend her as a tutor both online and face to face.

Maria Florencia is an outstanding inspirational teacher. Both my teenage daughter and I studied Spanish with her for several years. My daughter was so enthused by Maria Florencia's teaching that she received a distinction in her spoken Spanish. I studied Spanish with Maria Florencia both for fun and later for my work. Maria Florencia shares her enthusiasm and knowledge of the language with clarity and rigour. She always thoroughly prepares her lessons. She is an incredibly nice, fun and knowledgeable teacher, with many years experience.
