Founder of SpanishWithDoctorMaria
Hola, I’m Dr. María A. Torres.
I help professionals stop freezing and start speaking Spanish with confidence in the moments that matter: at work, in your community, and when you travel.
As a native Spanish speaker who has trained thousands of adults and professionals across industries, including U.S. Special Forces, through practical, high stakes communication training for 20 plus years, I’m now focused on reaching professionals who are ready to finally use Spanish in real life.
You will not get busywork or theory for theory’s sake. You will get a clear path, guided speaking practice, and direct feedback so Spanish becomes usable fast.
Why my approach is different: my academic and professional background shapes how I coach you. I bring a Doctorate in Spanish Language and Literature, three Master’s degrees in Education, North American Studies, and Spanish, plus dual bachelor’s degrees in Business and Teaching. That mix helps me build training that is structured like a plan, tailored to your field, and focused on real outcomes.
What truly drives my mission: credentials are not the reason students stay. Results are.
I’ve seen thousands of adult learners go from stuck to confident: leading meetings, connecting with clients, handling real conversations, and feeling proud instead of freezing, whether it’s ordering in a restaurant or making a reservation over the phone. That progress is the center of my work, and it’s what fuels every program I build at SpanishWithDoctorMaria and Language Master Group.
