Elisiane

Carlos G. from Alexandria, VA

Elisiane is an excellent Portuguese teacher. What I like the most about her work is that she prepares each lesson very carefully. A few days before each class she would email me the lesson materials so I can review them in advance and print them. At the end of each lesson there are several exercises for me to complete before the next class. During the class she uses different kinds of materials and exercises to help me memorize the new vocabulary. So far I have taken all the classes but the first one over Skype, which I have found is a very convenient way to learn a new language. I highly recommend Elisiane as a tutor and I am sure she will create the right set of lessons according to your specific needs.

Unfortunately I had to terminate my Portuguese classes due to another temporary obligation. However, when I do decide to continue my studies with the language, I will use Elisiane. Having learned languages in the past, I can immediately detect a great strategy to instruct. Elisiane is patient, organized, and knowledgeable about the her native tongue and wants to ensure that you learn, speak, and develop in the language the right way. Please take the time to sample her strategies for yourself vice taking my word. I am certain you will not be disappointed. Elisiane wants to pass along good habits about learning a new language and realizes that you are making a grand investment vice going through the motions. She is recommended highly and I sincerely hope that you give her a chance to enhance your learning experience. Best of luck.

It is truly a pleasure to work with Elisiane. She prepares the classes very well and always have extra material that facilitates memorization and understanding of the new language. I like very much the fact that Ms. Elisiane is very knowledgeable of the language and introduce the grammar rules; which is helpful for understanding through comparison with other languages and also is a good introduction to writing. Our classes are always taken using Skype and I have found out that this alternative of taking a class on-line has been great. I feel very lucky to have been able to find such a good teacher!

She has taught us many useful words and phrases as well as Brazilian pronunciations in a pleasant manner. We are not great students but she is very patient and understanding.

Elisiane is a wonderful Brazilian Portuguese teacher. In addition to being technically knowledgeable about the language, she is also very personable and patient. Elisiane finds ways to weave cultural information into each lesson. I look forward to my lessons and am confident I will reach my language goals with Elisiane's guidance.

Elisiane is an amazing language teacher and person as well. She is incredibly patient and really listens to what the student wants to learn and helps to figure out the best way to learn those things. It truly is all about the student and their needs. The materials she used were very helpful and she is very organized in planning and scheduling lessons. I highly recommend Elisiane to anyone looking to study Portuguese, the most beautiful language in the world (in my humble opinion).
