Very good teacher who can adapt to individual needs of students
Ray, 98 lessons with ElisaElisa is an excellent teacher. I had intermediate level Spanish but had not studied for nearly 10 years. Having forgotten a lot of vocabulary and many grammar rules- but still not a beginner- I don't fit into an established curriculum. However, Elisa quickly identified a custom approach that suits my needs. I am enjoying these classes.
I tutor all levels of Spanish, for university and high school students, for professionals dealing with Spanish speakers clients, for diplomats, NGOs, travelers, professionals planning on retiring in a Spanish speaking country, or for those who want to learn Spanish, just for fun.
I have taught Spanish Language and Literature for 20 years at US universities, from Spanish 101 to Special Topics at the graduate level. I retired early to travel the world by motorcycle.

Amazing tutor
Elisa is highly knowledgeable Spanish Literature tutor. She supported my son through his High-School, Spanish Lit AP course and prepared him well for the AP test. Elisa had a flexible evening schedule that worked well for my son.

The Best Spanish Tutor
My 10th grader had an exceptional experience with Elisa. After only several lessons, my daughter had a clear understanding of the grammar concepts she had trouble with. Elisa breaks down complex grammatical concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps. She creates a positive, encouraging learning environment that makes my daughter feel comfortable asking questions. We especially appreciate how much time Elisa dedicates during each session to practice, ensuring that a student truly understands the material and can apply it. I highly recommend Elisa to anyone looking for a supportive and effective language tutor.

Excellent Tutor
Elisa is a wonderful tutor. My goal is to read works of literature in the original Spanish and Elisa worked with me in developing an appreciation of not only grammar but also the beauty contained in the Spanish language. I'm so much looking forward to working with Elisa in future lessons. I'm confident I will achieve me goal and have lots of fun along the way.

Delight to work with.
My high school daughter loves her tutoring lessons with Elisa. She really enjoys Elisa's teaching style and patience while my daughter figures things out for herself. She looks forward to every lesson.

Wonderful Tutor!
Elisa is a fabulous teacher! She is patient and has a wonderful ability to explain concepts that stick, from basic to complex concepts. She varies the classes and keeps me on my toes. I've been working with Elisa for 3 1/2 years, need I say more.

She was great! I liked the fact that she would not go over a new problem until she did a review and knew that my son knew how to do what they were learning at the time..

Excellent teaching!
Elisa is a super teacher. She makes learning fun, by finding ways to combine the important concepts of grammar with history, literature, and word origins. Thank you to Lorca and Elisa.

Awesome Tutor
Elisa is really nice. She has a sense of how the textbook is written in my Spanish class because she was a professor at a University in Spain. She was able to know what the chapter contents from what areas I wanted to have her tutor me. She saw the flow of the lessons of my professor for my Spanish class, and she knew what areas was coming up in the class text book. She began teaching me a little piece to connect to my upcoming class. She is currently building my skills to be able to have a proper conversation with etiquette. I am referring to etiquette in the sense of properly addressing people with pronouns in situations and manners. I will be continuing my tutoring lessons from her for twelve more sessions, so that I can be able to speak properly with etiquette. She is a must have tutor.
