About the tutor

Hello from the city of Cape Town.


My name is Elsa. I love teaching English as a foreign Language, a journey I started way back in 2011.


I have more than 10 years experience teaching teenagers and adults from different cultures, including two years in English programs in Thailand.


I'm naturally curious, and interested in people, politics, technology and the environment. During my spare time I enjoy yoga, pilates, and walking/cycling in the beautiful natural surroundings near my home.


I have more than 10 years experience teaching teenagers and adults from different cultures, including two years in English programs in Thailand. My lessons are fun, interactive and tailored to your unique level and interests.


For teaching languages I'm certified through Cambridge University (CELTA) and The School of Online English Tutoring (SOET).


I am also a licensed high-school teacher with Bachelor of Education and Master's degrees.


Prior to taking up English teaching, I worked in the chemical manufacturing sector in various roles ranging from product development to management of a business function. As such I am familiar with most business processes, and have a unique background for teaching business English students.


Don't hesitate any further. Join me for a trial lesson. Let me help you achieve your language-learning goals.


I'm looking forward to meeting you.
