LANGUAGE LEARNING ONLINE AND in-person

ABOUT ME

My name is Mariah (Mari for short). I am a native English speaker from the USA and have been living in the Bahamas for 14 years. I spent the past year living part-time in Mexico working on becoming more fluent in Spanish. I have published two books about the Bahamas and I enjoy travel, cuisine, and staying active and healthy.

as a teacher

I am a writer and published author with a strong understanding of English grammar. After learning Spanish and now learning Italian, I can relate to how difficult the journey is. I am supportive and understanding of the mistakes we all make when learning a new language.

Teaching comes naturally to me. Many years ago I was a ski instructor, and I have been a yoga teacher for the past 6 years. When I was in Mexico in 2023 and early 2024, I started and led a casual intercambio language group for native Spanish speakers to connect and practice with native English speakers. I can speak B2 level Spanish, so I specialize in teaching to hispanohablantes, but I look forward to connecting with English language learners from all over the world.

I am currently undergoing my TEFL English language teaching certification.

lessons & teaching style

Getting comfortable with everyday conversation will be the focus. We can also read a book together, talk about photos and images, work on pronunciation, focus on vocabulary expansion, and work on getting past fears of speaking by becoming more comfortable with the vocabulary that you already know.

Nosotros podemos enfocar en la conversación. Tambien, podemos leer un libro juntos, hablar sobre fotografías e imágenes, trabajar en pronunciación, centrarnos en ampliar el vocabulario y trabajar para superar el miedo a conversar utilizando el vocabulario que ya conocemos.

Aunties Weekend has been an annual tradition every year since we lost my mom 15 years ago. It generally takes place in February, and because I tend to visit the PNW in the summer, this was the first year I was a part of the all-women aunts & cous
