About Elisa
Hello! I'm Elisa, a multilingual and experienced language teacher passionate about helping students communicate with confidence.
I teach English, Portuguese, Spanish and Mandarin to learners from different ages, levels and cultural backgrounds. My teaching is friendly, supportive and personalized: I take the time to understand each student's goals and adapt my lessons to their needs.
I have professional qualifications including CELTA, TEFL and Advanced TESOL training, and I am currently completing an International Master of Teaching English at Saint Mary's University in Canada. My academic background also includes a Master's degree in Portuguese from FLUL, with a focus on Portuguese as a second/foreign language, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (TCSOL).
I have extensive experience teaching students from around the world, including adults learning languages for everyday communication, professional purposes and personal development. As a multilingual teacher myself, I understand both the challenges and rewards of learning a new language.
My goal is to create a relaxed and encouraging learning environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions and actively using the language from the very beginning.
Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner looking to improve your fluency, I would be happy to help you reach your language goals!

My name is Elisa, and I am a multilingual language teacher and IMTE student at Saint Mary's University. I teach English, Portuguese, Spanish and Mandarin to learners from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
My teaching approach is student-centered, communicative and practical. I adapt each lesson to the learner's goals, level, interests and learning style. Rather than focusing only on grammar rules, I encourage students to use the language actively through conversation, guided practice, pronunciation work, vocabulary development, listening activities and real-life communication.
A typical lesson begins with a short review and warm-up, followed by the main language focus of the lesson. We then practice the target language through guided activities and conversation, before finishing with personalized feedback and a clear summary of what the student has learned. When appropriate, I also suggest practical ways to continue practicing between lessons.
What sets me apart is my academic background in language teaching and my multilingual and multicultural experience. I hold a CELTA, a Level 5 TEFL qualification and Advanced TESOL training, and I am currently completing the International Master of Teaching English (IMTE) at Saint Mary's University. I also hold a Master's degree in Portuguese from FLUL, with a focus on Portuguese as a second/foreign language, and a Bachelor's degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages (TCSOL).
I have experience teaching learners from different countries and cultural backgrounds, including adults learning languages for personal, professional and academic purposes. As a multilingual teacher, I understand the challenges of learning a language from different perspectives and can adapt my explanations and teaching techniques accordingly.
My lessons are suitable for beginners, intermediate and advanced learners, particularly adults and international learners. Depending on the language and the student's goals, lessons can focus on conversation, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, listening, general communication or academic and professional language.
Whether you are starting a new language, improving your existing skills, or looking for a supportive and structured environment to practice, I aim to make every lesson practical, engaging and tailored to your individual needs.
