About Us
I do not need them all at once. I would need the Traffic Safety Translation document first because it is for the Storyline course that I am currently working on. The other documents might be as early as Wednesday. I can work with your schedule as well.

Are you in need of an experienced English language professional who will support and guide you in your journey of improving your English for professional, academic, or personal purposes? Do you need help in preparing for an English language proficiency test? Do you need someone to edit/proofread your English-language academic papers, resume / CV, thesis, dissertation, website, business communication, etc.?
I am a native English speaker from the United States with a bit of a Philly accent. Aside from the incredible Philly lingo, you can learn from me, there’s also a lot more I offer.
I am a trained English language teacher, examiner for one of the world’s most reputable English proficiency exams, and academic editor/copyeditor with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature / Secondary Education and a Masters degree from Temple University in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and millions of years of experience in the United States, Europe, and online. I’m joking–I’m not that old!
I have worked with students of various educational backgrounds from over 65 different countries! I have truly learned so much from my students. I see teaching and learning as a give-take relationship. You get out of it what you also put into it, and I will be with you every step of the way to support you as best as I possibly can.
I am proficient in English, Greek, and German and am currently working on my Spanish, so languages, linguistics, and watching students succeed are my passions. I have worked with international students, refugees, immigrants, and professionals of various sorts that have completely and utterly amazed me with their progress and mind-blowing ideas and innovation.
While you share your love of your country, culture, and perspectives of the world with me, I will help you break out of your shell so that you not only understand the English language but express yourself in speaking and / or writing much more confidently and professionally based on your own individualized needs and goals as determined through a needs assessment during the first lesson.
Learning, especially learning a language, is truly something that requires teamwork on both the part of the instructor and learner, so I won’t make any empty promises as other online teachers are so inclined to do. However, I do guarantee that you will both see and feel measurable and profound improvement in your English and particularly in actually using your English in real ways for your everyday needs. I will also guide you in improving your independent study skills so that you can eventually become more of an autonomous learner. I have even taught students mindfulness techniques in order to better control their anxiety and stress levels.
I love teaching English, and this can be reflected in the feedback that I have consistently received from students who have professed that they truly ever learned to express themselves orally or in writing through their work with me. “You are an amazing teacher,” said a Ukrainian student. “I not only feel confident speaking English because of you, but you also taught me so many other things, such as how to practice mindfulness and about yoga, which I now can’t live without.”
My students are truly what drive me forward, and if they excel, I excel. It’s as simple as that.
In watching my students become successful, I feel successful. I have had students who have gone on to work in the medical, IT, and legal fields, among others, both in various countries around the world and in the United States. Allow me to walk with you on your path to success!

Our Happy Clients!
Maria is one of the most interesting persons and teachers you could have. She is well -read an dated on many topics. Her class is always interesting and creative. Through discussions about social issues, cultural interests, but also simple everyday life, it helps you to learn the language so that you can use it like a “local” and not like someone who simply learns the language through rules.
Effie
I really enjoyed having Maria as my English teacher. She created a supportive environment that helped me feel comfortable to learn. She was always ready to help me when I was struggling with some topics or needed some clarification. Maria is patient and understanding, which made me feel comfortable speaking and practicing my English with her.

I have learned English the right way in Ms. Mariangela’s class. I was fortunate enough to start my learning journey with such an experienced and professional teacher who knows how to distinguish between strengths and shortcomings of every individual student.
