About Me
italki teacher since Apr 21, 2020Interest topicArtTravelMusic
My name is Élisa! I am a languages teacher and I teach French, Spanish and English as second languages. I am a native French speaker and have lived in the UK for 6 years. Whilst in the UK I completed a teaching degree (PGCE) and for 5 years have taught French and Spanish at a secondary school level. I also have a degree in English Philology, which enables me to teach English as a second language.
I am an open-minded person, I’m easy to talk to and I love meeting new people so don't hesitate to contact me! :-)Me as a Teacher
I knew I wanted to become a teacher at the end of secondary school, where I specialised in languages. Later, I was given the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant for French in various countries, which lead me further into wanting to continue my studies to become a teacher.
I taught to students of all ages, so don't hesitate to contact me! I have also worked with secondary school and high school students, to prepare them for GCSE and A-Level.
***The duration of the lessons is between 55 minutes and 59 minutes. This is to allow a 5-minute break whenever I have a lesson directly afterwards, to be ready for the next lesson.***My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are always tailored to the needs of my students, adapted to their way of learning, to what they want to learn, their passions, and their objectives.
I think that it is absolutely essential to motivate students. I want to give my students what I would be looking for in a teacher - someone who would give me personalised lessons, who would make me work on my speaking, who would incorporate cultural aspects to my learning, and who would help me improve my language skills.
Don't hesitate to ask me questions if needed! I look forward to seeing you in class :-D

Our experience with Elisa as a French tutor for my 7-year-old daughter is nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first session, it was evident that Elisa possesses a rare talent for connecting with young learners and fostering a love for language learning.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Elisa's teaching approach is her ability to make learning French fun and engaging for my daughter. Through interactive games, songs, creative activities, repetition of the material and interesting little homework she effortlessly captivated her attention and sparked her curiosity about the language and culture.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Elisa to parents seeking a French tutor for their child.
