About Mariela
I am a graduate from a prestigious teachers' training college in Buenos Aires, where I studied to become a teacher of English as a foreign language and later on it just made sense to start teaching my own language. I have taught all levels and ages. Teaching Spanish has allowed me to work abroad and share my mother tongue and culture with people of very diverse backgrounds.
I love travelling, reading and I enjoy music and good food. Do we have anything in common?
But more than anything, I like seeing my students make progress while having fun. I am patient and encouraging and I try to create a friendly environment where the students feel safe. Feeling relaxed is essential when learning, that and hard work, of course!
I am based in Norbury, SW16. I started teaching online during the pandemic.

My lessons are personalised to meet the students' needs and interests but will always have a conversational approach. We really own a language when we are able to use it spontaneously.
Whether you are planning a trip to Latin America, you have a Spanish-speaking partner and would love to be able to communicate with their family, you want your children to keep and improve your mother tongue, you need some extra support for your studies or you just want to take up a hobby, we can create a lesson plan that will help you achieve your goals.
I strongly believe that the lesson should be held in Spanish as much as possible but that doesn't mean that the student should feel tense or lost. I try to make the student feel at ease at all times and make them feel they are in a safe environment where mistakes are welcome because they help us learn.
The more often the student is in contact with the language, the better. So the length of the lessons and their frequency will depend on the students' needs, possibilities and objectives. However, I think that 1.5 hour lessons work very well because there is enough time to warm up, loosen up and work on all four skills.
I like to include authentic material as much as possible, so we might work on songs, newspaper articles, podcasts...
I have been a teacher for over 20 years and I have worked not only in my hometown, Buenos Aires, but also in Germany, in Australia and the UK. I have worked with all ages and levels.

Although I took lessons some time ago with Mariela, I remember her being very patient with us (the group were total beginners).
As she knew I was studying before moving to Argentina, she would point out basic differences in the language for me in particular. It all helped :)Mariela is a fantastic, friendly tutor who I have worked closely with for many years. Reliable and professional, Mariela has helped my Spanish has developed hugely in the past two years that we have done smaller group weekly Zoom sessions. Although we now only speak in Spanish I never feel anxious about understanding, and if necessary Mariela can support in perfect English. Although Mariela is Argentinian, in our sessions and subsequent homework tasks she exposes me to different accents and phrases from across the Spanish-speaking world. I would feel comfortable chatting informally in a bar or using my Spanish skills in a more professional setting. I love our lessons and we often end up chatting away in between our set teaching tasks. I cannot recommend Mariela enough.
Mariela taught me Spanish in my build up before leaving to go live in Argentina. She is a phenomenal teacher; she’s patient, kind, keeps things fun, and of course, rigorous. Thank you for helping me love learning Spanish and supporting me to believe that anyone can learn it!
I wanted to learn Spanish speaking and writing skills and with this tutor I enjoyed my classes incredibly. She’s amicably and focuses on all the key points of learning lengthy and difficult sentences in simple forms and easy to comprehend. I highly recommend her totally amazing and easy going.
ValdaMariela thought me in a group class when I was still a beginner and our class loved her! She was always so patient and had an answer for everything, always in Spanish so we got a better understanding. She also gave me one-on-one classes for travel when I went travelling to South America. I’d completely recommend her, everything was really relaxed and I enjoyed going to her lessons and improving week on week.
Not just a fantastic teacher but even better person. I spent close to two years learning with Mariela who gave me the level and confidence to be open in
taking a work opportunity in Spain - where I have been living for the past 3 years. Patient and supportive in the learning process, I cannot recommend her highly enough for whatever level of Spanish.Mariela is a great Spanish teacher. She is encouraging and makes learning Spanish fun. I look forward to my lessons every week.
Mariela is a great tutor, she’s been teaching me for over a year. Her lessons are interesting and fun. I feel like I’m making really good progress while enjoying myself!
