About
My name is Maria Pineda. I ́m a Colombian writer with a major in Literature and a minor in Arts from Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia plus an MFA in Screenwriting. I am a Spanish tutor for students all ages. My classes are not only focused on sharpening linguistic skills but teaching students about the hispanic culture and history, this way they can immerse more in the language.
I like guiding my students in the path of achieving their own bilingual goals: inspiring them, working closely with them, getting to know their needs, strenghts and weaknesses more.
