Abby B.

122 Language lessons

She has helped me progress in the language so much in the last year and I am very thankful that I chose her to be my French tutor. Her lessons and homework assignments are detailed and focused, easy to understand, but challenging in ways that are fun and actually help me learn the language. Her pronunciation is beautiful. At every lesson she gives me detailed feedback about my pronunciation, not letting any mis-pronounced word get by!
Aziza N.

2 Language lessons

Ms. Vernice is a patient and very instructive tutor. She has excellent strategies for teaching the Spanish language. She worked with my middle-school daughter and helped her understand the basics of the language (masculine, feminine, pronouns,etc.), and built up her confidence. She has excellent materials that teach easy ways to understand and grasp the linguistic skills. I would endorse her for every level of teaching (elementary, middle, high school and adults).

However, when I do decide to continue my studies with the language, I will use Elisiane. Having learned languages in the past, I can immediately detect a great strategy to instruct. Elisiane is patient, organized, and knowledgeable about the her native tongue and wants to ensure that you learn, speak, and develop in the language the right way. Please take the time to sample her strategies for yourself vice taking my word. I am certain you will not be disappointed.
