Elizabeth White
Native English speaker, teaching English and Spanish for 20 years
About
I live in the United States and teach in face to face classes and online. I live in an area with beautiful nature walks and I have wild animals (deer, squirrels, raccoons, birds) that come into my yard daily. I like to learn new things. This spring I learned how to identify poison ivy in my yard the hard way.
Teaching Style
I use a variety of methods to learn concepts: songs, charts, echo songs, sketches, puzzles, memory devices I am open to using anything that will make learning easier. I tend to learn big picture to details myself, so I like a broad view and then to zero in on details and questions. I also like to use silly stories or phrases to memorize. I always tell my students that every bid step is just a lot of little steps put together.
