About Elizabeth
I homeschooled my children (honor students) throughout their school careers. I taught - and currently teach - English grammar to youth and adults abroad. I enjoy playing piano and teaching new students, helping them establish good routines. I taught beginning piano in a music studio, as a freelancer, and worked professionally with various music groups. If a student is eager to learn, I don't hold him/her back. I begin teaching and adapt to the individual's level and pace. I prefer encouraging the positive while providing routine. I enjoy teaching children and have assisted with youth in a private, weekend school.

As a homeschool teacher, I encourage reading for fun and starting as early as possible. I believe in building confidence through reinforcement while challenging with new materials- sometimes beyond one's particular level. I'm not always "by the book". I use already printed teaching materials, but also write my own lessons, depending on a person's need. I will take time to focus on specific areas and am not afraid to repeat, when needed. I help second language students with reading English and (particularly) English pronunciation, diction and grammar through reading and tailoring vocabulary exercises for their specific needs. I play piano and have experience teaching beginning students and encourage/teach theory as part of each lesson. I can also assist those who need or prefer to learn music by ear.

As Elizabeth’s husband of almost 30 years, I can give an unbiased review of her strengths and abilities.
She spent 14 years homeschooling our two children. One already has a Masters degree and another one is doing very well in a Bachelor program.
Elizabeth’s musical ear enables her to teach both the grammar and the pronunciation with exceptional results. She’s very patient and attentive, making sure her students build a solid knowledge foundation as they progress in their studies.
I have quietly observed how well she has taught both children and adults, sharing here superior knowledge of the English language in an easy to understand manner.
Give her a chance and you will be delighted you chose Elizabeth to be your tutor.Elizabeth is a very good teacher!
I have known her for a year and half. I can say for sure that the level of my knowledge of the English language has increased. At the present time I am less shy in a conversation with an American. Elizabeth never scolds, even if I made a mistake in grammar or pronunciation. At the same time, she always correct me with love. She is a very sincere and kind person.Elizabeth is a wonderful teacher!
She is a very kind person. Her professional style of teaching is very helpful.
I started fluently speaking English after a few months of her lessons. That's quickly for me, I think. I can write to my American friends emails everyday. All of them said to me: "Your English has been improved very much". I have become a teacher-conductor for my American students.
I wish everyone to have Elizabeth's lessons.
I told my son about her. He is 16. He started speaking English in a few months too!View more recommendations
