I'm a real, passionate, local classroom teacher

Testimonials

“My 14 year old son was on an IEP for reading and writing… Soon after Covid hit, and school went to remote learning. We knew we needed backup…The work she did with him instilled confidence, and he found it helpful and engaging. He’s not only kept moving forward, but he’s changed the way he reads to dissecting the material vs just reading to get through it. I’m happy to say he’s doing great in high school and I’m so thankful for the 1-1 attention Maria was able to give him. It was truly invaluable.”

Carrie – Parent

“Maria is an excellent teacher who has a passion for her students. She gets results and she truly cares about each of her students. She is in the top 3% of all the educators that I have had the privilege to serve with. Her teaching abilities and skills are top notch, and you will not be disappointed by the magic she works when she is teaching.”
