¡Hola! I’m Dr. María A. Torres, a native Spanish speaker with Doctoral Degree in Teaching Spanish, and certified language coach with 20+ years of experience helping adults communicate in Spanish

Dr. Maria is very helpful! I could not speak at all and I am now speaking after just a few weeks in her small group lessons. She helps me with corrections when necessary & her practice is really helping me improve. I have a lot of fun with the rest of the students. At first I though a small group would not be good for me but for the cost per hour, it has really helped me. Dr. Maria is a lot of fun and the lesson does not feel like a lesson. I highly recommend her if you want to make progress!!

I really enjoyed Maria’s course. She was very patient and helped me prepare for my Spanish certification, which helped me get a better job. After improving my Spanish, I was even promoted.

Doctor Maria was motivating, professional, and always well prepared. You can tell she truly cares about teaching the language and culture. I am very thankful for all her help.

I do not usually write reviews, but doctor Maria at Language Master Group really deserves this one. I started last year with a free lesson with Maria, in the summer of 2025 and she exceeded my expectations.
She is patient, encouraging, and very thorough. Her lessons are well planned, engaging, and tailored to my needs. I work with many Spanish speaking co workers, and thanks to her classes, I can now have real conversations with them.

I have already bought three lesson packages of 1 on 1 Coaching and plan to continue because I can see real results and I have improved a lot. I am so happy that I can finally speak Spanish with more confidence.

I started learning with Doctor Maria in 2019 and have come back for refresher classes over the years. She is very patient, professional, and always adapted the lessons to my needs and learning style.

She encouraged me every step of the way and truly believed I could reach a higher level in Spanish with a few more months of hard work. She was right. Learning a language takes time and patience but it pays off!!
Thanks to her guidance and motivation, I achieved my goal and I am very thankful to her.

Doctor Torres is a gem. She is very patient, professional and knowledgeable. She holds a doctoral degree in Teaching Spanish and has introduced me to real Spanish while learning how to communicate with my clients. I work in law and have to talk to many Hispanic clients.

I had only 3 lessons with her from an Intensive Special and can now start speaking at work with some confidence. You cannot go wrong with her. She has the whole package: knowledge, skills to adapt to you, endless resources and patience to teach even technical Spanish for my field!!

Estoy muy ilusionada con mis clases y porque puedo comunicarme en español.

Thank you for making this possible Doctor Maria.

I had an amazing experience with Language master group back in early 2020 and now in 2026 I want to get an intensive course in Spanish to refresh my speaking skills. I signed up a few weeks ago and when I finish this 1 on 1 Coaching I will change into the group modality.

I am expanding my business in Florida and wanted to communicate also in Spanish with my clients.

This time Doctor Maria Torres is assisting me with amazing private lessons and I am definitely improving enormously. I closed a deal with a provider in Spanish thanks to her help preparing a dialogue.

My dream is becoming true learning with the teaching method and with her materials. She has endless resources and creates others for me. She is the best!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME LEARN SPANISH TO HELP IN MY COMMUNITY!

Maria and her Spanish 1 on 1 lessons are AWESOME!!! I am now in the group lessons and highly recommend both! It has always been hard for me to learn a foreign language, but Maria gave me so much feedback I never got from other professors in Spanish that I really improved.

She inspired me because she is a devoted person who loves her profession. She is very demanding, but she makes you improve and learn! She corrects everything, and she even prepared an optional exam review that was great!!! I succeeded in my course at college and got a better grade than expected when I graduated in April 2020 yea!!! But most importantly I learned a lot and can now communicate in Spanish and now I am ready to use it at work.

I have been taking her small group lessons since 2024 and plan to continue. I highly recommend Maria and her team.

You will not regret it ;)

Doctor Maria is amazing! I have always been nervous speaking Spanish as I come from a Spanish speaking household, but Dr. Maria has changed my perspective and given me confidence in just one month.

I am soooo excited. We get so lost in conversation that I don’t feel like it’s a “lesson” but rather a chance for me to just speak without being scolded on what I’m getting wrong. My family has made comments on how well I’m doing, and I owe it all to Dr. Maria! I plan to continue with a second package of 1 on 1 coaching lessons or joining one of her groups.

Before finding Maria and her team for 1 on 1 coaching, I had some disappointing experiences with other tutors. While they spoke Spanish well, they often could not explain concepts in a clear way or help me feel comfortable actually speaking. Many lessons felt passive, and I was not making the kind of real progress I wanted.

That changed when I met Maria through a free demo online lesson. She clearly explained her teaching method, and I was immediately impressed by her professionalism, dedication, and the strong qualifications of her team. I decided to work with her, and it has been an excellent experience. She prepares thoughtful materials and video activities that make the lessons practical, engaging, and directly connected to real life situations. Most importantly, she helps you truly understand the language and gives you the confidence to speak.
I have already been able to use Spanish in everyday situations, such as ordering in restaurants and handling other common conversations. Because my experience was so positive, I also enrolled my niece in an intensive course as a Christmas gift a few months ago. She is working with Doctor Carlos, and she has also had a wonderful experience.

We are both extremely happy with the quality of instruction and the personal attention we have received. Thank you, Maria and your excellent team.

I highly recommend Spanishwithdoctormaria.com to anyone serious about learning Spanish and seeing real results. 🇪🇸✨

I started learning Spanish with Dr. Maria from zero, and I’m truly amazed at how much I’ve progressed! I began with several 1-on-1 coaching sessions for a few years now, which helped me build a strong foundation and feel comfortable speaking.

I recently joined a group lesson format she offers just a few times a year and that’s when everything really came together! The interactive practice, cultural insights, and group conversations boosted my confidence and fluency even more.

Dr. María is patient, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her passion for teaching makes every class engaging and fun. Now I can confidently hold real conversations in Spanish, something I never imagined possible when I started!

This is the best investment I have made on myself and plan to continue with 1 on 1 Coaching to get ready for my next trip!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Torres and the impact she has had on my child’s academic journey with AP Spanish. Her approach to teaching is both engaging and highly effective. Not only does Dr. Torres possess deep subject knowledge, but she also has a rare talent for breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible pieces.

What truly sets Dr. Torres apart is her patience, dedication, and genuine passion for helping students succeed. She tailors each session to fit the student’s needs and learning style, constantly offering encouragement and constructive feedback. Since starting sessions with Dr. Torres, we’ve seen noticeable improvements in both understanding and confidence.

If you’re looking for a tutor who goes above and beyond, who cares about long-term success, and who inspires a love for learning, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Torres.

Hello. I do not normally write reviews but I thought Doctor Maria deserved it after all the time and effort she put teaching me Spanish remotely, via Zoom. Maria is an excellent instructor, very patient and clear in her explanations and examples. I took Spanish at high school and a course at college but never learned to speak. I finally got to speak Spanish with Maria's help. I know can communicate with native speakers and although I do not have a great command of the language, at least, I can order food at restaurants, talk with people over the phone....Maria has provided me with all materials and I did not have to buy a book, or audio or internet access to a platform. Everything is included in her fee. Anyway, Maria has been fantastic!!! Thank you so much for making my dream of speaking Spanish come true!! I am looking forward to our lessons in April.

I started lesson with Doctor Maria a few months ago, before the summer and I am now communicating in Spanish!

I was a real beginner and I feel I had passed like 2 levels already in just a few months. I am continuing with her because: she is absolutely fantastic, passionate, engaging and learning with her is an authentic pleasure.
Doctor Maria has prepared many materials for me....I was a slow learner and she had to adapt to me. She customized her lessons and I have to say she has surpassed all my expectations.
She knows what I need at every moment and has made me talked, write and understand native speakers with different accents.
I would not look any further!! She is the perfect Spanish instructor!

Doctor Maria Aparicio is an absolutely fantastic teacher!! She has spectacular credentials....a Doctoral Degree in Spanish Language and Culture!

She is extremely passionate about teaching which makes lessons extremely engaging and learning with her a real pleasure.
Maria tailors her lessons to suit all my needs, so learning with her has surpassed all my expectations, as she understands exactly what I'm trying to achieve, so I'm already learning much faster than I thought! Amazing!
I would definitely recommend learning with Doctor Maria if you're looking for a friendly teacher and one who knows how to get the best out of her students. I can now speak and understand native speakers, and it was almost impossible for me before.

Doctor Maria is a very talented instructor. I needed to sharpen my Spanish language skills quickly, particularly in the area of conversation. She adapted her lesson plans, created personalized content for me and helped me achieve my goals. She will listen to you, work with you to get you where you need to be and make sure you have fun learning.

I highly recommend her.

Doctor Aparicio is amazing!!! Very inspiring and funny! Loved her lectures and would take another Spanish course with her.
She is so knowledgeable and inspiring. I enjoyed the on line class at the comfort of my office.
She knows about literature and has very wide culture. She is very sweet and makes you get to the next level!!!. I learned to speak basic Spanish in just 20 lessons!
After that I took a summer special she was offering and I am about to finish and get ready to travel to Chile! I am so excited  Thanks Doctora Aparicio for all the dedication and passion to learn Spanish!

I enjoyed Maria Aparicio's course. She is very patient and helped me all the way to pass my student certification in Spanish. She motivated me in every class. She is very professional and prepares every class adapted to my learning style and needs. She told me I could obtain a higher level in Spanish with 3 more months of hard work and she was right!!!! I got my B2 Spanish certification and got promoted in my job. I did not think Spanish would make me get more money in my job, but I followed Maria's advice and I got it!!! I am sooooooo thankful to Maria that I truly cannot express it in this review :)

Maria Aparicio and her 1 on1 remote classes are AWESOME!!! It has always been hard for me to learn a foreign language, but Maria gave me so much feedback I never got from other professors in Spanish that I really improved. She inspired me because she is a devoted person who loves her profession. She is very demanding and you have to do a lot of homework. She grades everything, and she even prepared an optional exam review that was great!!! I succeeded in my course at college and got a better grade than expected. But most importantly I learned a lot and can now communicate in Spanish. I highly recommend Maria.

Doctor Maria is very patient, knowledgeable, professional, and sweet. Her teaching approach was very efficient and I can now speak Spanish. I truly recommend her services. Take classes with her, you won’t regret it!

Mary is a stellar tutor for TOEFL. I was in need of a plan for tutoring, with a professional of the language and Mary, who holds a doctoral Degree was the perfect option! She has the hands on experience and highest qualifications to teach it. I love the 'interview' or first free class she had with me to help me identify a path and a weekly plan!

The course with Maria via Skype has been great. I’ve been taking courses with her for more tan 5 months and I was very excited to see how much my progress was. She invests a lot of time to prepare me materials that are relevant to discuss in Spanish for my business. I recommend her without hesitation. She is an authentic professional of the language and culture, besides an expert in business in Spanish. Try for yourself!

Doctor Maria Aparicio is a great professor and a passionate instructor. I had an excellent experience in our course. It lasted 40 hours and when I started I could barely speak Spanish and now I am almost at an intermediate level. I watch movies in Spanish and I can follow them. She customized every session and it was great because she adapted to all my needs. Professionally speaking, I can now communicate with my patients and I can say that it was the best investment I have done in the past few years. I recommend Maria and her teaching business without reservation.

I am beyond impressed with the results I am getting with my Spanish and how Maria teaches me in every lesson. She tailors each session prior to meeting and she motivates me all the time.
She is sweet, genuine, professional and positive.

I have waited to write a review because I wanted to see how much I have improved. What a huge jump, I started as a beginner and now I am feeling I can reach an intermediate level in a few months.

I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Maria.
It was a well worthy investment. Don't take my word for it... try it for yourself!

Great courses, as always! Maria has taught me to talk in Spanish since the very first class. She designs exercises that help target my weaknesses that is not easy to do for someone who has an advanced level. It is obvious that she spends a lot of time preparing for our class and has a lot of experience in teaching. She understands why I don’t get certain grammatical points. I have improved so much that I can participate in a conversation with several people speaking at the same time. I’ve taken several courses with Maria for about 10 months and it is definitely worth the price. I am currently taking a course to reduce my accent. I highly recommend Maria.

I met Doctor Maria a few months ago when I was searching for a very qualified tutor to improve my Spanish. I wanted to focus on Speaking and it has definitely been the best decision I made. She is very flexible and customizes every lesson to my needs, which change a lot over the weeks. I need to speak Spanish for my business and she definitely made my dream to make more customers. She makes the classes very hands-on and all the resources she provides for me is delivered to my email 24-48 hours after the class. I recommend Doctor Aparicio without any doubt. It is worth the money!

I cannot speak highly enough about Doctor Aparicio and Language Master Group tutoring service in Spanish. The weekly private lessons Maria prepares every week just for me are wonderful. She is always checking in with me, keeps me informed of all the progress. She gives me an update on the lesson in a short overview. It is quite helpful!
An amazing and professional team of tutors who are college professors!

Maria is no doubt the best English and Spanish teacher I have ever had. It sounds funny but I hired her to teach me both languages, as she is bilingual.

It seems as though she anticipates my every need, and helps me with challenges that are a stretch for other teachers, such as pronunciation and advanced grammar. She teaches from the perspective of every student's unique needs, and for that reason alone, I think it is great value for money to take classes with her, even though there are cheaper classes to be found elsewhere.

She is a doctor in Spanish and has been teaching English at the university for so many years that you can tell she is a profesional.

I just started the 48 hour-Spanish for Business course and I cannot believe how fast I have started speaking in Spanish at work.
Thanks for your flexibility, Maria, your professionalism is evident!

Very helpful! I am speaking better now & Maria helps me with corrections when necessary, & her exercises are really helping me deal with the more complicated aspects of grammar, sometimes topics I fell behind on in group classes. Maria has endless patience, and has always been able to turn our lesson into a good one, no matter how well or poorly I am doing with my Spanish that particular day. Gracias, Professor Maria!
