Hi! I'm Elsa, a native Portuguese speaker from Cape Town, South Africa. I'm a language teacher with 3 years of experience teaching English, and now I’m excited to teach Portuguese as well. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a translator and child educator, gaining valuable skills in communication and working with learners of all ages.
I have a passion for languages and connecting with people. I’m currently learning Spanish and French, which gives me insight into the challenges my students face when learning a new language. Outside of teaching, I enjoy the gym, watching movies, exploring new hobbies, and listening to music. I love talking about culture, travel, and many topics.

I believe learning should be fun and engaging, and I enjoy tailoring my lessons to suit your needs and interests. With 3 years of experience teaching English and Portuguese, and a background in translation and child education, I bring a creative and effective approach to our sessions.
I’m passionate about helping my students feel confident in their language skills, whether it’s improving conversation, grammar, or writing. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy staying active, playing guitar, and watching movies. I also love talking about different cultures, travel, and hobbies.

A very pleasant introductory session with Elsa. I found her to be patient, encouraging and generous with her gentle corrections. I look forward to further sessions to learn more about Portuguese speaking Africa, in particular Angóla.

Elsa is professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. In our first lesson we designed a plan of action to help address my weak points in Portuguese. I'm am looking forward to working with her more in the future.

This was a good first lesson with Elsa. I was looking for some extra conversation practice. During our introductions Elsa was keen to ascertain my conversational level in Portuguese. She allowed me to speak without interruption until I got stuck or asked for help, correcting errors and providing feedback at suitable moments. Elsa has a very friendly and supportive manner.
