Recommendation: "Maria has a robust academic background, and when it comes to teaching, she is very rigorous and insightful, making her the best choice for advanced students." The teacher is skilled in reading and science instruction. Before class, she will make sufficient preparations, according to the engaging English courseware, sort out the PPT, and organize the key teaching content of each lesson, then teach in a way and with content that students like. Maria's teaching is more profound and patient, allowing the content to continue guiding students to think critically, express themselves, expand their knowledge, and engage in more in-depth discussions with them simultaneously. The teacher has extensive experience in writing, History, and social sciences, and can help students make a significant improvement in their professional fields. If you want your child to experience a qualitative leap in English learning, Maria is a great choice!" (E-joy website, 2025).
