TESTIMONIALS

My son Nicholas (age 7) and his two friends, Adrian and Arden (aged 8 and 6) started classes with Elizabeth last October. None of the three kids had any interest in learning Spanish, but I convinced them to give it a try. All doubts disappeared with start of the first lesson. When Elizabeth walked in with her big bag full of surprises, much like Mary Poppins, the boys were too curious to resist it. They readily repeated every Spanish word and phrase, just to keep the surprises coming. And this is how it's been ever since: they have dressed as pirates, baked cinnamon rolls, assembled hilarious versions of Mr. Potato Head, and played numerous games and activities while learning the Spanish vocabulary for parts of the body, clothing, common verbs, and polite requests. By now they can all freely ask to take their turn in a game, offer food or drink, and respond to many simple questions. As a language teacher, I really admire Elizabeth's creativity and resourcefulness, and feel very lucky to have found her to teach my son. ¡Muchas Gracias, Elizabeth!

My name is Sandra Marion. I have 3 kids, Evan 5, Margarita 4 and Austin 2 yrs old.  Elizabeth has taught my children for 2 years.  Our experience with her has been exceptional.  She brings such great energy into the classroom, that gives no opportunity to the kids to drift away in boredom.  Her classes are well structured and she uses didactic material that is innovative and creative.  My kids have really picked up the language and use it outside the classroom.  Plus my oldest is able to read in Spanish and understand what he is reading.

We have known Elizabeth for almost a year now and we are very lucky have her as our daughter’s Spanish teacher. Michelle started taking classes since she was 5 years old.  She has made a tremendous progress since then. From knowing almost nothing she now can understand and speak in full sentences. We are really impressed the way complete immersion program works. After having tried several different programs we realized that individualized sessions work the best. Elizabeth’s level of energy and enthusiasm is truly outstanding. She managed to achieve a wonderful balance between learning and fun. Michelle learns Spanish in a very natural way and always looks forward to having her next session.

I have tried many times to learn spanish but as an adult learner found it very difficult. I attended classes and tutor sessions but never seemed to get past the simple basics. Since I began taking lessons with Elizabeth __ months ago I can finally see and hear a difference! Elizabeth is warm and friendly as well as innovative and creative with her lesson plans.  I work at a hospital and many of my patients speak spanish, it's been great to be able to communicate with them more effectively and to build a more personal relationship. Elizabeth has been so flexible with my ever changing schedule and makes every effort to re-schedule classes that I am unable to attend. I highly recommend Elizabeth as a tutor!

We are very pleased with the classes that Elizabeth has provided for our two daughters.  She brings so much energy and creativity each session.  Her curriculum is presented in a logical, exciting, and fun manner that the children embrace and are able to grasp.  She also provides parents with materials to reinforce the material that she covers.  We have had other Spanish instructors and Elizabeth is definitely a gem.

I have 3 children ages 5,7 and 9.  They recently began taking spanish lessons with Elizabeth in our home.  I am so impressed and more than satisfied with Elizabeth's spanish instruction.  She keeps the children engaged and excited.  They have so much fun while learning. They have responded wonderfully to her and she is very responsive to them as well.  My children have been exposed to several different spanish programs since preschool, and by far, my children and I are most pleased with Elizabeth.  It is so so so convenient to have in-home instruction.  She is also flexible with scheduling which is a plus for a busy family. I look forward to our continued experience with Elizabeth and I highly recommend her services.

 I have known Elizabeth for 3 years and I am amazed at her teaching abilities with all levels and ages of those learning French or Spanish. I have watched her teach and have experienced her teaching first hand. She is always motivating, always positive and gets results for her students. Whatever your goals are, Elizabeth can help you achieve these.

Oftentimes, it is difficult to find affordable and reliable learning programs for young children where they can get a head start on mastering a foreign language, and so I had been searching for a unique, easy and successful method that would really work for teaching Spanish to my children, Romina, 5 and Daniel, 3, who were already bi-lingual, speaking English and Russian at home. We were lucky to find Elizabeth. From the very first moment, the kids seemed engaged and at a complete ease with her.

Mina and Danny love the songs they are singing with Elizabeth, enjoy the variety and creativity of the lesson plans, and are constantly challenged in a fun way.  They practice reading, speaking, listening and writing. Also they learn many games and interesting activities.

 As parents, we are extremely pleased to see the positive development of our children and amazed that the children are able to learn so quickly.
We are definitely getting a great value out of Elizabeth’s lessons: they are fun, hands-on, motivating, quick with results, rewarding for children and parents likewise, and conducted in the comfort of your own home.
