About Elisa
Experience: 1 yr
Empowering students to reach their full potential drives my passion. As a certified educator with a degree in Spanish, I bring a structured approach to learning. Born and raised in Italy before moving to the US at 11, I understand the challenges of navigating a new language and culture. Thanks to this journey, I am also more than happy to tutor English or Italian! My extensive background includes full-time student teaching, various school field experiences, and working as a classroom substitute. Additionally, I served as an instructor for the National Inventors Hall of Fame's Camp Invention, leading hands-on STEM activities. I prioritize building genuine confidence over memorization, working with all ages, from children learning basic vocabulary to adults mastering complex grammar. I love making lessons interactive, breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps, and connecting topics to a student's personal interests. I look forward to supporting your student!

She was great helping me with learning English. Her teaching ability is amazing. She’s understanding and patient especially with someone that doesn’t feel confident in the language.
