Welcome to the Guided Learning Studio! I’m Maria. A mom of three and a former classroom teacher turned tutor. I am committed to providing engaging learning experiences based on a learner’s needs and interests.

✏️After eight delightful years, Guided Learning Studio is closing. 🌻My happy place πŸ₯° Beautiful Pima Canyon Trail in Tucson. My daughter and I took a lovely sweets class with @wagashiissho while visiting Kyoto. Learning to make chrysanthemum wagashi was a special experience. Kyoto is also a magical place with ethereal gardens. πŸ§šπŸ½β€β™€οΈ Fairy Garden πŸ§šπŸΎβ€β™€οΈ Learning to watercolor with tutorials from @letsgomakeart . This Italy tutorial from their #wanderlust kit is a favorite. Happy New Year! Work desk turned creative spot for 2023. Exploring oil pastel and color with inspo from @pearfleur video. πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸŽ¨ I finally gave our maker space some attention. A clean table for a holiday season of painting & crafting. πŸŽ¨πŸŽ„
