Certified Spanish and English Teacher with Experience Teaching in International School Settings My name is Elvira. I'm a certified Spanish and English as a Second Language teacher. I have worked with adults and young students in Belgium, Spain, and South Korea. I currently live in South Korea, where I'm also learning the local language. I was born and raised in Guatemala, so I have a Latin American accent. I moved to the United States when I was 15 years old, and that is where I learned English for the first time as a high school student. I'm pretty familiar with the process and challenges that come with learning a new language. Therefore, I decided to become a Spanish and English teacher to make people's experiences with these languages as rich and enjoyable as possible. As a teacher, I put myself into my students' shoes as often as possible. Would I have been interested in certain topics as a teenager learning English? As an adult learning a new language now, would a boring lesson keep me motivated to keep learning? I try to keep these thoughts into account, as well as my students' feedback, to create lessons that are worth their time. I like to employ communicative language teaching, which focuses on getting the student to acquire the tools they would need to interact with those around them on a daily basis. I use activities such as role-playing and games during lessons. My goal is to create a low anxiety environment for students, where they can feel free to make mistakes while learning and have fun and enjoy the process.

Very professional and friendly. I feel like they took the time to determine my level and tailor a lesson plan specifically for me. The pacing and patience with me is really great! I really appreciate also learning Spanish that is specific to Guatemala as I will be travelling there and requested such.

Elvira was so lovely! This was my first lesson with her, to introduce ourselves and her teaching style and it was so perfect. We had as much conversation as we could in Spanish and she was extremely patient and helpful. I can't wait to book more!
