I am a passionate Reading and Language educator with over 27 years experience in International Education. Helping students find success is what I do best.

Maria knows how to connect with you. Beyond charismatic, the years of experience show off in her ability to relate with you, keep you engaged, and motivate you. I'm so grateful to have had her on my side!

Maria is a trustworthy teacher for many reasons. In addition to her powerful knowledge on the subject, she is always willing to help her students grow through engaging activities and encouragement of participation.

Maria was my principal for over 3 years! She is an amazing teacher, leader and boss! She is great with working with challenges and under pressure! Her open door policy makes a very friendly teaching and working environment.
You would be very lucky to have her as your teacher!

I can summarize my recommendation for Maria Motz in three words: she truly cares! Her experience and know how make her a superb educator.

She is a great teacher because she is not only experienced but very helpful. She is willing to help her students even outside of class. She makes her classes engaging and makes it easier to learn. She is always energetic and positive which also impacts the students' willingness to learn.

Maria was my English Literature teacher in Senior year. She was a dedicated teacher with a unique style, and her kindness with students strikes a difference.

I recommend Maria because she is a well-prepared teacher who is passionate about teaching and making sure her students enjoy learning. She was an excellent SAT teacher who gave it all in her classes. She proved to be a great example and a trustworthy teacher throughout the whole SAT lessons.

Maria is an amazing professional who is not only knowledgeable and experienced but also charismatic, warm and entertaining. Students will find that learning with Maria is easy and lots of fun. She is energetic and organized, caring and dynamic. As a college counselor with 23 years of experience, I strongly recommend María.

I’ve known Maria all her life, as I am her older sister by 13 years. She is a very dedicated person and has excelled at everything life has put in her path.
Maria started working as a teacher soon after she finished college. Immediately you could tell that she had a gift for teaching. Not only do her students all like and respect her, but she has a way of making them achieve their highest potential. Continuously, Maria receives feedback from her students who are in college thanking her for preparing them so well or for giving them that self assurance they needed for a test or a presentation or just dealing with some situation life has thrown at them.
I would highly recommend Maria as a teacher or tutor. Any school or learning facility would profit by enrolling Maria as part of their staff.

I had the pleasure of having Mrs. Maria as my High School Principal and Test Prep guide. She is an amazing and passionate teacher. She genuinely cares about her students and their success; this care is transmited through every little thing she does to make sure you are prepared not only for standarized tests, but life itself. My scores on the SAT went up after taking her course, and her valuable tips helped me throughout college. Excellent teacher and mentor!

I have known Maria for almost 40 years both personally and professionally. As I started my career in education, I knew that reaching her level of passion and commitment to teaching was my goal. She upholds high standards and she has the ability to seamlessly bring her students along on this journey. She helps them learn and, most importantly, she makes learning difficult concepts fun and easy.
Her experience as a classroom teacher, English Department chair, IB coordinator, and Upper School Director have cultivated a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the challenges and goals modern day education faces. Armed with this knowledge, Maria knows what tools her students need to succeed at the next level.

I have known Maria for more than 24 years as a friend and as a colleague. As a friend, she is a person you can count on and as a teacher, she was the most loved and respected teacher. Then she became the High School principal, where she demonstrated excellent leadership, as a matter of fact, everyone is missing her a lot at the school she used to work.
María is a respectful, compassionate, honest, friendly, hard worker and a resourceful person, that is why I highly recommend her. Any institution that contracted her will benefit not only from all the qualities she has but also of the great experience she has accomplished as a teacher and as a principal.

I have known Maria all my life. Being Marias’ daughter, I got to fall in love with poetry, story-telling and extravagant words from an early age. Her teaching skills are so seamless, you learn withought realizing you are being taught! She makes everything fun and relatable. Her passion has gained her the heart of every student she has had.

I love walking down the street and hearing all the wonderful things here alumni have to say about her.

Mrs. Motz is definitively one of the best teachers in her area; her way of speaking and explaining methods make of her one of the best experiences a student can have. Surely with Mrs. Motz, learning is something students look forward to.
