I have 20 years of experience teaching Spanish Language and Literature at the university level. I have taught all levels, from beginning Spanish to Special Topics at the graduate level. I retired early from the university to travel the world by motorcycle.

After 10 years of traveling I resumed teaching last winter to a group of expats in Kino Bay, Mexico. I had a great time and so did they, and I realized how much I love teaching again.

I am a native speaker from Spain with a PhD in Sp...

Elisa is a super teacher. She makes learning fun, by finding ways to combine the important concepts of grammar with history, literature, and word origins. Thank you to Lorca and Elisa.

Elisa is really nice. She has a sense of how the textbook is written in my Spanish class because she was a professor at a University in Spain. She was able to know what the chapter contents from what areas I wanted to have her tutor me. She saw the flow of the lessons of my professor for my Spanish class, and she knew what areas was coming up in the class text book. She began teaching me a little piece to connect to my upcoming class. She is currently building my skills to be able to have a proper conversation with etiquette. I am referring to etiquette in the sense of properly addressing people with pronouns in situations and manners. I will be continuing my tutoring lessons from her for twelve more sessions, so that I can be able to speak properly with etiquette. She is a must have tutor.

Siempre excelente!!! Without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had. If you have never learned Spanish before - Elisa is perfect. Regardless of your Spanish level -Elisa is the best!!!
- Andrew M. from Nottoway, VA
My daughter was ready to drop college Spanish 6 until she met Elisa. She made the lessons easy, practiced with her and gave her the knowledge/confidence to do well on her quizzes! Elisa is wonderful!!
- Alyssa C. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Elisa is an excellent teacher. I had intermediate level Spanish but had not studied for nearly 10 years. Having forgotten a lot of vocabulary and many grammar rules- but still not a beginner- I don't fit into an established curriculum. However, Elisa quickly identified a custom approach that suits my needs. I am enjoying these classes.
- Ray M. from Emeryville, CA
Elisa is very intelligent and wise, and she was able to help create a tailored program for me. She could tell my level of Spanish within our first contact, and I feel very comfoetable moving forward with her. She is very pleasant and easy to talk to! Thank you Elisa!
- Geeti M. from Austin, TX
Elisa is a great tutor for Spanish. She is patient, organized, and helpful with language learning. Her lessons include grammar, conversational, and vocabulary. I highly recommend her as a Spanish tutor.
- David F. from New York, NY
I never thought that I'd actually enjoy the process of learning a new language. Well, that's now changed. She gives instant gratification when you do something right, and is super patient when you do something wrong. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks, Elisa! Looking forward to continuing to work on my Spanish with you!
- Vartkes I. from Glendale, CA
At each lesson, Elisa is enthusiastic and creative; I make much progress on my Spanish with her as my tutor, as she helps with my grammar, vocabulary & preparing for international conferences.
- Charles B. from Washington, DC
Elisa really helped prepare me for my Spanish test and helped further my understanding of the language. I?m so thankful I got to work with her.
- julie H. from Austin, TX
Eliza R. is a very experienced and patient Spanish tutor with a very impressive resume. She is also very interesting to talk to, an important point for a series of lessons. Highly recommended.
- John K. from Dana Point, CA
Elisa really walked me through ways to develop concrete ideas when speaking. She is very informative and patient. I really enjoyed speaking Spanish with her at the advanced level.
- Dornedria J. from Antioch, TN
I?ve had a couple of Spanish lessons with Elisa. She is the second language tutor i had through wyzant (my first in German). Both are first rate. Elisa is patient and very thorough. A consummate professional. The text is very helpful but she adds a human dimension that effectively adds to the lesson. I recommend her highly.
- Max H. from Stuart, FL
From the beginning of our communications Elisa was quick to assess where my skill level was and what I needed. Her thorough and patient guidance while editing my paper was very helpful. She helped me reword things when my English got in the way of my Spanish, took the time to explain why some word choices worked better than others, and was very friendly and encouraging. I look forward to working with her more!
- Delany P. from Seattle, WA
Elisa is extremely knowledgeable about the language, and is eager and ready to share her enthusiasm for learning! She was quick to correct, but gentle and patient -- which is the best way to learn. We had some computer glitches during this first session, and I think these issues will be overcome with time and practice. I loved reading poetry with her! I also enjoyed getting to know her (she is "muy interesante"!), and I look forward to learning more with her in the coming weeks!
- Cindy C. from Clarksville, TN
Elisa builds on the base of each student's background knowledge and accelerates their growth and comprehension. She is excellent! Elisa has exceptional experience and encourages the student to challenge themselves. Each lesson builds on previous learning. I highly recommend Elisa for one on one or group tutoring.
- Steve S. from Flagstaff, AZ
Elisa is great! Our two 14 year-old girls are tough critics and they really like her, as do my wife and I. She made it fun - we laughed a lot. A true Castilian dialect is not easy to find in Flagstaff. We look forward to working with her!
