My Summary
About Me
Hi! I’m Maria, a Psychology MSc graduate, Spanish-native speaker, with experience supporting children and adolescents with Special Educational Needs (SEN). I’m offering engaging, age-appropriate Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Sessions for Children & Teens (Ages 3–18)
to help them build skills in:
1) Self-awareness
2) Self-management
3) Social awareness
4) Relationship skills
5) Responsible decision-making
Does your child struggle with big emotions, low confidence, or making friends? Would you like to help them build resilience, empathy, and strong communication skills? Then don't hesitate to reach out! My holistic, inclusive approach ensures that every student receives personalized, engaging, and effective learning support.
Fun Activities include:
- Emotions Mapping
- Role-Play

My Experience
With 4 years of experience in education, mental health, and student welfare, I have worked with students aged 3 to 18 years old, helping them develop confidence and improve their academic performance. I offer 1:1 and group sessions online via Zoom or face to face, ensuring students receive interactive, engaging, and personalized lessons. My sessions incorporate digital whiteboard illustrations, educational games, and creative activities to keep students motivated and actively learning. I also encourage reflective journaling to help students track their progress and set learning goals.
My approach is tailored to each student’s learning style, ensuring they stay on track and reach their full potential. Additionally, I have experience working with SEN students, including those with Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia, offering a patient and structured learning environment.
*Online tutoring offers enhanced convenience, removes the need for travel, and enables students to study in a secure and familiar environment. Whether it’s building foundational skills or boosting confidence, my goal is to make learning a fun, rewarding, and successful experience for every student.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested or have any questions! Let’s help your child build a strong emotional foundation!
