British English with Maria

British English with Maria A professional experienced native level EFL educator. I was born in Russia, but grew up in London.

On this forum, you will have an opportunity to learn English with an experienced native level bilingual teacher. After two business/ accountancy degrees and years in the city of London working in the finance industry, I decided it was time for a change. I started teaching over 6 years ago as an experiment but after I saw how happy my students were with my teaching and how passionate I was about it, I continue to pursue it to day. I'm a linguist at heart as I continue to learn and improve my French, Spanish (and sometimes Italian) so I know exactly what it's like to be learning a foreign language and what tools work best to learn more efficiently. I've got vast experience under my belt and I've taught for general conversational purposes, exams as well as work interviews

I am very passionate about my students progress so select the best possible materials and aim to adapt the lessons to students' needs. Online learning has never been easier so if you would like to try learning English over Skype or Zoom with me or have any questions or concerns at all, do drop me a message. My lessons are very affordable( for now ;-) ) yet are of very high quality.

A few snaps to show my pre-spring: a beautiful sunset, a landmark view for a gym workout and an unexpected trip to Harrods in London because the museum wouldn't let me in due to me being late thanks to the joys of getting across central London. Calendar wise it's the last day of winter! Weather wise still very much like winter unfortunately...

I'm always sad when the Christmas lights come down, especially during the cold miserable period of January. So these lights are a welcome way to brighten up the dark cold days. If only there was a way to turn the heat upšŸ˜…

I have a deep love for nature, and London recently dipped to freezing temperatures—an uncommon chill for the city. The frost painted the foliage in a delicate, icy white, as if nature had adorned itself in winter's finest attire. I couldn’t resist capturing these moments, the frost-kissed, glistening in the sun, and wanted to share them with you.
Do you experience such a cold where you are based?

There's nothing like the cosiness of a British pub especially during the festive Christmas season with a glass of mulled wine.
I love how well preserved these old constructions are, it's a beautiful piece of history you get to enjoy in the modern day.
