About María
Hello! I'm María, a PhD holder in Languages and Culture, awarded Cum Laude—the highest academic distinction in Spain and Italy.
I have published several peer-reviewed articles in both Spanish and English and I specialize in helping students write high-quality theses and academic papers at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels.
As a tutor, I combine academic excellence with a supportive, student-focused approach. I believe in teaching by guiding—not just correcting. My goal is to help you understand the structure, logic, and language of academic writing so that you feel confident and capable at every stage of your thesis or research project.
With ten years of experience in higher education and a deep understanding of academic standards, I can help you:
-Define and refine your research question/s
-Structure your chapters clearly and logically
-Improve your academic style and citations
-Write in fluent, formal English or Spanish
Whether you're just starting or in the final editing phase, I'm here to support you.

My Approach as a Tutor is based on:
1) Teaching Method and Techniques: I tailor my teaching to the individual needs of each student, focusing on critical thinking, structure, and argumentation. I provide detailed feedback, model academic writing, and guide you step-by-step through the research and writing process. Whether you need help developing your topic, structuring your thesis, or refining your language, I ensure you gain both skills and confidence.
2) Typical Lesson Plan: A typical session begins by reviewing your current ideas, progress or draft. We then set clear objectives for the session—whether it's outlining a chapter, improving citations or revising a section for clarity. I use collaborative tools and real examples to make the learning process practical and effective.
3) What Sets Me Apart: My academic background, experience publishing in two languages (Spanish and English), and personalized approach make me uniquely equipped to support students in the Humanities and Social Sciences. I combine scholarly expertise with an accessible, student-centered style.
4) Who the Lessons Are For: I work with university students at all levels—undergraduate, master's, and doctoral candidates—especially those writing theses or research papers in the fields of languages, literature, culture, linguistics, and related disciplines. I also support non-native English or Spanish speakers who are aiming for academic fluency.

María is a teacher with great teaching techniques to learn languages in a very dynamic and fun way. I feel comfortable studying new grammar and vocabulary thanks to her kind approach. I absolutely recommend her!
She is excellent. She explains the subjects with details and deeply that are necessary. She is also patient with your mistakes and make them clear in a very understandable way. Learning English with Maria was very joyful for me.
Great teaching techniques. She focused on what I needed. It helps me a lot to pass my exams
Es una gran profesora. Su clase fue muy dinámica, se enfocó especialmente en las cosas que le indique que tenía más dificultad, haciendo más fácil que las aprendiera y se me quedaran. Ojala las profesoras de idioma que tuve a lo largo de mi vida hubiesen enseñado con la paciencia y la dedicación que ella lo hace.
