Here, adults fall in love with English.

Hi, I'm Maria. For more than ten years I've been helping grown-ups stop fearing English and start enjoying it. All lessons are online, so you can join from anywhere.

in short:

10+ years of teaching. 100+ adults who now speak instead of freezing. Lessons online at WayUp Boutique.

I’m not the teacher who hands you a textbook and says “page 47, exercise 3”. We talk about your work, your trips, the series you binge and the plans you’re making. Grammar shows up when you need it, not before. And one day you notice you’re thinking in English, and enjoying it.

What makes the lessons different

Your life is the textbook.

We talk about what matters to you: work, travel, films, relationships, plans. New words stick when they are about you.

Mistakes are welcome.

Nobody here will judge you for them: mistakes are how we learn. You speak from the very first lesson, and I gently correct things along the way.

English from the real world.

Series, songs, podcasts, memes, work emails. The English people actually use today.

Your goal sets the plan.

An interview, a move abroad, a promotion, or simply speaking freely at last. There is no one-size course: we build yours.

You’ll feel at home here if…

nice to meet you!

Hi, I’m Maria

I’m a qualified English teacher, and I’ve been teaching adults for over 10 years. In that time, more than 100 students have studied with me, each with their own goals and their own story.

I believe you learn a language through emotions, not drills. That’s why my lessons feel more like a conversation with a friend who happens to know a lot about English. I keep up with how English is really spoken today, from new slang to the way people actually talk online, and bring it all into our lessons.

Questions people ask me

No. I work only with adults, so lessons are built around adult goals and adult topics.

Online, by video call, so you can join from anywhere. I teach at WayUp Boutique.

Not at all. First we’ll talk about your goals and what you’d like to get out of lessons, then move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Message me on Telegram or get in touch with WayUp Boutique, and we’ll talk through all the details.
