I cannot recommend Maria highly enough! She has been teaching my daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, for a month now, and the progress she has made is incredible. Maria is incredibly patient and understanding, always adapting her teaching style to fit my daughter’s needs. She uses clear, simple instructions and incorporate visual aids, which really helps my daughter grasp the concepts. I’ve noticed how they provide positive reinforcement, celebrating even the smallest achievements, which has boosted my daughter's confidence immensely. The environment is always safe and supportive, making my daughter feel comfortable in the water. She looks forward to her lessons! If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate instructor, Maria is definitely the right choice.

My son has autism and at times can be difficult to teach, but Maria quickly demonstrated her patience, care and the perseverance to build a relationship with our son, and made his sessions fun to learn!

Maria has been great with my son who was a bit apprehensive about getting his head in the water. She makes the class fun for him and he looks forward to seeing her.

About Maria C.

I'm a former competitive swimmer of 14 years who has been teaching for 5 years. I've taught children of all abilities and ages, including children with physical and mental disabilities, as a senior instructor at St. Albans Boys and Girls Club in Toronto.

Teaching philosophy

Private lessons allow me to understand each swimmer's specific needs. I love providing informative and helpful feedback in every fun, energetic session. My approach is devoted to making sure the swimmer understands and learns with pleasure — sharing my love for swimming drives everything I do.
