About Elisabete Joaquina
I am a qualified teacher, originally from the Iberian Peninsula, that specialises in Spanish (Spain) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language). I have a Bachelors’ degree in MFL focusing on Spanish and English and a Masters’ in MFL teaching, both of which I concluded with a 1st. During my Bachelors’ degree and Masters’ degree I was awarded scholarships for being in the top 6 at the University of Porto.
I have taught Spanish and English in the UK and Portugal across different ages for state schools and private summer schools. Additionally, I have also done some private tutoring of English, Spanish and Portuguese of both school age children and adults. Through my experience teaching in a London-based comprehensive school I have become acquainted with the curriculum followed in the UK as well as with the different examination boards and their specifications. I have also acquired experience teaching a range of ages all the way from reception to secondary school.
Given my experience in a variety of settings I have become a versatile teacher who is thus, able to help a diversified public with various tutoring needs - from helping a secondary student with their GCSE exams, to simply teaching English or Spanish in a more informal setting.
As a language teacher I like to create my own materials which I tailor to each specific student and create having in mind their personal goals, interests and learning styles. My teaching is thus, student centred and by following a communicative approach to language learning I am able to make you understand and master a language, thus, turning you into an independent language user.

Perfect! Excellent Tutor
I started lessons with Elisabete to help me develop my spoken Spanish as an addition to my Open University Modern Languages degree course. Elisabete is very easy to work with, very patient, encouraging and supportive. She has created lessons that are specific to my requirements and ability. My spoken Spanish is improving rapidly and I am feeling much more confident. Her lessons are helping me improve all aspects of Spanish, not just speaking. Lessons are very relaxed and I feel I make good progress with each one.
Subject : Spanish
Outcome : I am much more confident in my spoken Spanish and am looking forward to continuing to develop my Spanish skills with Elisabete's help and support.View more reviews

I’ve been taught Spanish by Elisabete for two years; not only has my level of Spanish significantly improved but I’ve also really enjoyed the lessons. We have always tackled a range of interesting subjects even when my level of Spanish was basic. Elisabete is also happy to tailor the content to match any particular interests or helpful vocabulary areas. She has always been very patient and happy to explain things in a number of ways until I’ve understood them and always been able to answer questions even if they are on very specific points or language conventions.
I participated in a small group of learners keen to improve our Spanish conversation at an adult college, the group was taught by Elisabete.
She is an excellent tutor. She is adaptable and encouraging. She managed the diverse levels of knowledge within our group with understanding and sensitivity. A particular skill was her ability to provide clear and knowledgeable explanations on points of grammar. I have no hesitation in recommending her.I enrolled on a Spanish Beginners Course at my local adult learning college. I was very impressed by Elisabete’s teaching style especially her attention to detail in regards to pronunciation. It was a lively and friendly class and my Spanish improved in leaps and bounds.
Elisabete taught me conversational Spanish during evening classes and she was very motivating and positive. She included current events in her lessons so we were able to talk and write about a wide variety of topics that would be interesting. During the lessons, she used a selection of games, speaking exercises, You tube clips to practise listening, writing exercises to practise grammar and also opinion writing. Each lesson had a few activities included and she was always able to give detailed feedback on what we had done. This feedback was given in a very positive manner so we left the lesson feeling motivated about the subject. She is a very good teacher.
Finding Elizabeth has worked for me. She is a first class Spanish coach enabling me to build my confidence to speak the language more and learn in a safe and informal on-line environment.
She builds the lessons around my needs as a beginner, we have some fun and I am very happy with my progress. I want to spend more time in Spain and Spanish speaking countries in the future and her background and training is ideal for my needs.Finding Elizabeth has worked for me.
