Bio
I like to read, love the beach and spend my weekends baking or cooking. I adore the Harry Potter and Narnia series’. My tutoring style is laid back as I’m a firm believer that learning should be fun.
I am patient and kind. I came to teaching quite late but found that it's what I should have done with my life all along! I love teaching and seeing my students grow.

Reviews from others
It takes a lot to engage a 6 year old for a whole hour, especially over a laptop. Good job Elsie!
— Alan
Elsie is very understanding in dealing with Andisa during the lessons. Andisa has improved her understanding of Afrikaans and we should try and speak Afrikaans for about 1 hour in a day, use Afrikaans in counting and pep up her confidence during the classes. I'm very much impressed with the progress made by Elsie
