About Elisabeth


Bio

¡Hola!

My name is Elisabeth, and I am going to be moving to Albuquerque this August to start my PhD in Hispanic Linguistics. I was raised in Wyoming and have a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Spanish from the University of Wyoming. After finishing up there, I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2014 where I majored in Interpreting and Translation Studies. I am super excited to start my PhD and to experience life in Albuquerque!

My tutoring experience now spans back about 5 years....

¡Hola!

My name is Elisabeth, and I am going to be moving to Albuquerque this August to start my PhD in Hispanic Linguistics. I was raised in Wyoming and have a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Spanish from the University of Wyoming. After finishing up there, I graduated from Wake Forest University in 2014 where I majored in Interpreting and Translation Studies. I am super excited to start my PhD and to experience life in Albuquerque!

My tutoring experience now spans back about 5 years. In addition to tutoring Spanish language learners of all different ages and levels, I have also taught private English classes while living abroad in Madrid, Spain. I was living in Madrid for just over a year and spent a school-year working as an au pair, which is basically a nanny who teaches the children English. This was not my only time spent abroad, during the summer of 2012, I studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain; I also spent the summer of 2013 in Barcelona working as an intern. After graduating with my master's, I spent four months in Nicaragua where I interned with a translation and interpreting company.

Furthermore, I have worked as a substitute teacher in Wyoming for age groups k-12 in public schools. Finally, at UNM, I will be teaching lower-level Spanish classes in a formal classroom setting.

My teaching and tutoring techniques have proven successful among my students, and I hope to hear from you and help you with your journey in learning the amazing Spanish language, which I truly do consider to be my passion in life!

Well Worth the Investment!

Since starting tutoring lessons with Elizabeth, my daughter has really been able to excel in her college Spanish class after initially struggling to comprehend anything. She now has an "A" in that class but, probably more importantly, has gained the knowledge and confidence to understand that learning a foreign language is not an insurmountable task. I think what is particularly special about Elizabeth is that she is old enough to be very knowledgeable about the topic matter, but young enough to remember what it is like to be student. Sometimes learning a foreign language can be somewhat intimidating: you feel certain that you are probably butchering each word you say aloud, if you are even saying the right word at all, and not some other embarrassingly similar word that means something totally different. Unfortunately, to get better you have to practice and be willing to make those mistakes until you get it right. There is nothing intimidating about Elizabeth’s approach when tutoring. She makes my daughter feel at ease to try, and try again if necessary. She is not a pushover, but she also never makes you feel as if she is just waiting for you to make a mistake so she can jump on it. Hiring Elizabeth has been well worth the investment, and I would recommend her to others without hesitation.

Great results!

Elisabeth was a great help for my son. He was flunking Spanish but after working with Elizabeth for less than two months he raised his grade to a C. My son looked forward to working with Elizabeth and continues to improve his Spanish with a greater confidence that she helped him achieve.
