Hola, I'm Maritsa
I was born and raised in Cusco, Peru, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, and I have been teaching Spanish to students from all over the world for more than 20 years. My passion is not only teaching the language, but also sharing Peru’s rich culture, history, and warmth.
I am a Spanish teacher and I specialize in communicative teaching methods that allow you to speak with confidence from day one.

What Students Are Saying
"Maritsa is an incredible Spanish instructor. I did lessons with her in person during my first trip to Peru, and learned so much that I continued with lessons online. What I especially love about taking Spanish with Maritsa is that she genuinely cares about her students and will go above and beyond to make the lessons feel supportive. We usually begin the lesson with a conversation then move to exercises afterwards. I love the format because it is always structured, but also allows for time to implement and practice everything that I'm learning. I would highly recommend Maritsa to anyone that is thinking about learning Spanish."

"Maritsa began giving me Spanish lessons about eight years ago for about six months. She taught me online for approximately one hour every day. She is compassionate about her students and wants to see them succeed. She built a strong foundation for me to build on and today I would consider myself a strong speaker. Till today she is one of my favorite people in the world. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to speak Spanish for recreation or for a job."

"I've been taking Spanish lessons with Maritsa for 2 years, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Having a real human to talk to is 1000x better than Duolingo. Not only do I get to keep up my Spanish (at this point we've covered all the grammar), I also get to have a friend across the world. If it weren't for our relationship, I'd probably have quit long ago. Instead I can proudly say I'm fluent!"
Ariana

"Aside from the quality of her classes, Maritsa is a very pleasant person. She tailors the class topics to your level of Spanish, and in every class you learn something about life in Peru.
I took classes with Maritsa for four years, and my Spanish has improved a lot. She has given me the confidence to communicate in Spanish without feeling self-conscious. Thanks to the language, my worldview has broadened. I will always be grateful to her."

"I have been taking online classes with Martisa for around two years now and the level of my improvement in Spanish went from barely conversational to now almost completely fluent. I always look forward to our lessons because it's not just Spanish exercises... it's real life conversation about everything. Maritsa is an incredibly sincere and caring person and I am so lucky to have found her as a Spanish teacher."

"Maritsa has been the most amazing help with my progression of learning Spanish. She is very patient and understanding whenever you may be struggling with the language and provides accurate tips as a true native speaker. My spanish has never progressed so much thanks to her help every week. Thanks to her I'm able to pass my exams with grades I would've never been able to achieve on my own, so grateful!"

"I always look forward to my class with Maritsa - she's there, waiting for me even at 6am for her. We talk about everything and she's very encouraging with my Spanish. The hour goes too quickly. We screen share my writing which is super helpful."

"Ever grateful for committing to real-time Spanish lessons with Maritsa. She has met my learning ability and time allowance. Maritsa has provided a solid framework for becoming comfortable in navigating conversations. I am honored to be learning from her and happy to share her services to friends and family."
