Bring English Alive with Lisa, Experienced ESL tutor

Lisa P.

I am a patient, experienced, and warm teacher. I received my Masters of Teaching English as a Second Language in 2007, and taught adult learners at Boston University for more than 12 years. I have taught students from all over the world, and created active and interesting lessons in grammar, speaking, pronunciation, listening, reading, and writing. I have tutored many students and helped them improve greatly.

"Lisa is a gifted teacher: she skillfully taught various ESL classes in our program.

I am experienced in preparing students for university, work, or everyday life. I am always prepared, organized, and ready to adapt to the specific needs of each student. I know how to craft lessons that are useful, engaging, and interesting, and propel students forward to the greatest extent. I keep the focus on the student, and build on the knowledge, experience, and wisdom that is already within her or him. I have a welcoming spirit and work hard to help my students grow.
