Hi everyone! My name is Elliott, I am a linguist from the United States. I've lived and worked in over 65 countries; I have worked and spoken more than 15 languages, but I maintain fluency only in 5. I currently live in East Africa, where I work with regional Bantu languages. I am 22 years old, I have over 5 years of experience teaching in Africa, Asia, Middle East, and the Pacific, where I've helped hundreds of people reach their language goals.

Elliott seems really insightful when it comes to language and how people learn to speak. He’s picked up a lot from learning multiple languages himself, so he has a good instinct for the kinds of challenges learners face. If he knows your first language, he often has a way of understanding where things might be getting stuck. That could be part of why more advanced learners who feel like they’re not moving forward find his help especially useful.

Elliott is sooooo nice and kind, I really enjoy each of our lessons. He is a very responsible person, if you have any questions about learning English, just ask him. Elliott gave me a lot lot of courage in English learning, thank you. Book a lesson, you will like it.

I certainly recommend Elliott to everyone! He is the teacher I was looking for! I am glad that young people are so conscious and advanced! I believe he can surpass the senior teachers! Elliott speaks good Russian, it helps me to be calm. The lessons are friendly, fun, I like that for him, as for me, vocabulary is more important. We also study informal words and phrases that are often used by native speakers. Always in touch, very patient and well-mannered, honest. Nice to meet! — Я конечно всем всем рекомендую Эллиотта! Он тот учитель которого Я искала! Радуюсь тому что молодежь такая сознательная и продвинутая! Я считаю, он может превзойти старших преподавателей! Эллиотт хорошо говорит по-русски! Это помогает мне быть спокойной. Уроки дружелюбные, веселые, мне нравится что для него, как и для меня, важнее словарный запас. Мы изучаем и неформальные слова и фразы, которые часто используют носители языка. Всегда на связи, очень терпеливый и воспитанный, честный. Рада знакомству!

Really loving these lessons with Elliott, he's super easy to talk to and very good at throwing in a tiny correction when needed without interrupting the flow, or defining an unusual word real quick right when he says it. So he's very focused on what happening. I've had some other teachers who are not this way at all, who are much less invested in every little word, and I felt like I was learning less in those cases.

Great lesson, great conversation, Elliott is super friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable since he's a linguist. Highly recommend and I'm looking forward to more lessons.
