I offer group and individual classes during the school year or year-round.
What are the classes like?
Summary:
Using the TPRS method, Spanish is used as a means to facilitate communication as students hear and use Spanish to tell stories. The class is a highly engaging, personalized, and effective way to learn Spanish.
The students build their vocabulary using highly-used words to craft stories. Outside of class, I encourage reading via a workbook and novels, both made for Spanish learners with a limited number of unique words. High frequency vocabulary is enriched with Spanish songs.
You'll have the convenience of a Spanish teacher in your own home when it works for you for a great rate.

Lindsay H., AP Test Prep Student, 2013-2014
Elizabeth is absolutely amazing!! She was my tutor when I studied Spanish in high school. I enjoyed working with her because she has the gift of a true teacher.
She is excellent at explaining how the language works and demonstrating how to apply the more difficult concepts to everyday speech.
She encouraged me as a student while challenging me to grow. Overall, I would say she helped me though increasing my knowledge, comprehension and confidence with Spanish.
I would 10 out of 10 recommend letting Elizabeth help you grow in your knowledge and confidence with Spanish!
