Passionate Estonian polyglot helping students make sense of the Estonian language I am Eli(sabeth), born and bread Estonian with a passion for languages. I've completed TEFL level 5 course and been teaching Estonian since Sept 2025, both online and in-person courses. I also run a beginner-friendly podcast Estonian with Eli as I noticed the lack of materials available for listening. The lessons could be more traditional classroom-atmosphere and discuss grammar or do drills, or just a casual conversation to practice your Estonian, whatever you prefer. My goal is to make you a more confident speaker using varied materials for it, such as video, audio, reading and homework assignments between lessons (if preferred). For beginners, I can suggest following Settle Estonia A1/A2 book, or E nagu Eesti, if you prefer, to go through various topics in an organised way, but we can also just focus on what you want to be able to say and how you might be exposed to the language. If you have time and want to do some homework between lessons, please let me know, I'm happy to assign some and we can go over it during the lesson and discuss any queries :) I am also happy to use any of my other languages to help you learn, so let me know if you want to have the lesson in a different language than English! I also use other platforms like Jitsi or Proton Meet, so if you prefer not to use Italki classroom, send me a message!

Having Eli as a teacher is amazing! She manages to make you speak Estonian every lesson and makes you feel comfortable. I can feel I'm improving step by step and in every lesson I can know more about Estonian culture. She also has a nice teaching method that I never saw before and it helps you to learn more new vocabulary naturally.

I really like this teacher. She's nice and consistence of Estonian language teaching. I was confused about Estonian, but I feel more confident about further self-study thanks to Eli's simple explanations.

We revised weather-related vocabulary, talked about what to see and do in Tallinn and looked at the locative cases for different nouns. Olen kahe nädala pärast Tallinna reisiks valmis :)

Eli has a great teaching method. She speaks to you in Estonian from lesson 1 making you catch new words and understand through context. She also teaches about Estonian culture in each lesson and gets the most out of a class.
