About
Nice to meet you, my name is Elsa.
As a lover of languages (I've learned Spanish fluently and am onto learning more advanced Hebrew!), I know what the process of learning one is like. It's a constant game of "leveling up," even of taking two steps forward to take one step back. It's a lot!
This is why I'm here to help. Beyond loving languages, I love teaching. I have one year of practical classroom teaching experience with multiple subjects, including English and middle east history.
Knowing what language learning is all about, I know that being thrown into the deep end can actually be the most beneficial. It's a myth that you need to know all the grammar and vocabulary to speak! So, my method is to focus on the most relevant conversational topics for your level, and pick at the details for learning from there.
I can't wait to begin our journey together!
