Maia Lazar Tutoring
About
I believe every student is capable of doing more than they think they can. Having a student regain their self confidence in the classroom and in their abilities is one of my proudest moments as an educator.
I enjoy helping my students and clients find motivation and self-confidence in achieving their goals and improving their skills. Seeing children rediscover the joy in learning and in the "small things" is one of the many aspects of educating I enjoy.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I do a meet and greet and discuss the student's short and long term goals. I'm not here just to help. I am a problem solver and want to know the roots of the challenge.

I have been trained with the Berlitz method and have over 5 years of teaching experience.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$25/60 minutes and $30/90 minutes.
$20/session if you book 6 lessons a month
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching for Berlitz Language School in Krakow, Poland 6 years ago.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with little ones as young as 3-year-olds, and robotics/engineering professors.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am proud to say that I can calm a child down and help them regain their self confidence in learning.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Just because you feel like you are struggling with something does not mean it will always be a struggle. Having a growth mindset, embracing mistakes as learning opportunities are healthy components of the learning process.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is it I hope to accomplish? What do I need help with? What are my expectations?
