Hello! My name is Ellery, and I’m a student at the University of Florida, majoring in International Studies. My love for languages began at 14 with my first Spanish class. I became obsessed with learning, especially after challenging myself to master every word of the Spanish version of “Despacito.” Repeating the song over and over, I was amazed at how my pronunciation improved. That experience sparked my passion for breakthroughs in language learning and perfecting pronunciation, a passion that continues to drive me today.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus on creating a relaxed, conversational environment, similar to language learning groups. I believe the best way to learn is through natural conversation, driven by real-life questions and practical use. My approach emphasizes pronunciation and speaking practice, tailored to your needs. I serve as a resource for translations and guidance as questions arise. With experience in multiple languages, I understand the difficultly of that first stage of language learning and aim to make it enjoyable and effective.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured around immersive, conversational practice, with a strong emphasis on real-life application. I incorporate a mix of speaking exercises, pronunciation drills, and vocabulary building, tailored to your specific needs and goals. Each lesson is designed to be engaging and interactive, encouraging you to ask questions and use Spanish in practical contexts. I believe in adapting to each student’s learning style, making lessons flexible, enjoyable, and effective for real-world communication.5.0

For the first time I was exposed to the Spanish alphabet. He was very creative in helping me negotiate several potential work scenarios. He was gracious and patient.

Ellery was delightful and patient. I learned a lot and he explained many of the idiosyncrasies that I struggle with. I plan on scheduling many more lessons.
