Maria is an outstanding tutor, even for advanced learners. She goes above and beyond to support her students, helping them not only with language skills but also with important elements of Japanese culture. I highly recommend her to those working toward fluency, as well as beginners who want thoughtful and supportive guidance. Her explanations are clear and detailed, and her study material suggestions are incredibly useful. If you’re unsure, I encourage you to try a lesson with her—you’ll be glad you did.
