Maria entered in our family very nicely and easily. She has amazing communication skills with the parents and has a very good sense to get the children needs and what they like.
Maria bond very easily with my two different children boy and girl. She took initiative in proposing activities and outings.

I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Maria as a private tutor. She has been working with our 8-year-old son, who is on the autism spectrum, for the past five months, and the progress we have seen in that time has been truly remarkable.
When Maria began working with our son, he faced significant challenges in phonetics, reading, comprehension, and writing. Since then, we have noticed consistent and meaningful improvements in all areas of his learning, as well as a growing sense of confidence and self-esteem.
Maria is an exceptional tutor—always punctual, thoroughly prepared, and deeply committed to her work. Her kind, calm, and positive attitude has made a significant impact. She uses a variety of effective techniques to keep our son engaged and motivated. It's clear that she has extensive experience working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and her approach is both professional and compassionate.
Beyond the tutoring sessions, Maria has also provided us with invaluable guidance and support. She has shared practical advice on how to navigate school systems, work with SENCOs, address behavioural challenges, and even consider school changes when necessary. Her insights have empowered us to better advocate for our son and support his needs at home and at school.
We are truly grateful for Maria’s dedication and expertise. She has made a lasting impact on our son’s learning journey, and we recommend her without reservation to any family seeking a skilled and caring SEN tutor.
