About Me

italki teacher since Oct 10, 2019

Hi! My name is Elysse and I'm from the United States. I study journalism and Spanish, but in my free time, I love all things language, music, art, and travel. I've traveled around the United States, Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Morocco, Germany, and Guatemala! I consider myself a very upbeat and cheerful person, always laughing at something and always looking for the positive side. It makes life a whoooole lot better.

Me as a Teacher

I think we're all tired of the same things-- "What are your favorite books?" "Where have you traveled?" I'll think of stimulating topics every week to give you new vocabulary and make you comfortable in any situation. I speak Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and know American Sign Language. Being multilingual gives me an advantage as your teacher because I've been in the learning process several times! Learning multiple languages has made me more competent in my own language. I am TEFL Certified, meaning that I know my language very well, and I understand how to tailor my lessons to you. I'm looking forward to collaborating on a plan for your English success!

My lessons & teaching style

**LESSON POLICY**: If you do not respond and don't show up at lesson time, I cannot refund or reschedule. Notice to reschedule must be given at least 5 hours prior.** I encourage you to make mistakes. We're focusing on conversational English, so I'll help you become comfortable with taking chances in English and learning from your errors! There is no pressure in our lessons. We will focus on verbal and listening skills only, little written accompaniment. During the lesson I will remember what you need most practice with and guide the conversation in a direction that will push you from your comfort zone and surround you in the fundamentals of conversational English/Spanish that you need.

I am very very happy to know her and I feel really lucky because she is my teacher. She sends a pdf doc after every lecture to point out my mistakes which I make during lecture. Besides, she is very friendly person, I really enjoy to talk with her about hobbies or our lifes. Thank you so much;)

She is a great teacher. I've been taking her lessons both for conversation practice and written corrections. She knows a lot of words and phrases and it helps me to enhance my vocabulary. She is also very good at correcting sentences and giving clear explanations about why it needs to be corrected. Regardless of what kind of help you are looking for with your English, I can confidently recommend you take her lessons.
