About Me

Dear students,

My name is Jan Elie, a native english speaker from the U.S.A. I have been teaching ESL (English as a second language) for 5 years and counting. My training in teaching English started in the United States but I have taught in Colombia and now in Brazil. I am fluent in Spanish and I am currently learning Portuguese. I enjoy sharing the passion I have for learning languages with my students. I teach all levels and ages, focusing my classes on the student’s needs. My teaching style uses the communicative approach so you will be speaking even from a beginner level. Learning languages has given me patience and understanding to identify what skills are needed in mastering any language. So sign up for your first class and let’s get the ball rolling!

Sincerely,

Teacher Jan
