About Lisa R.
CloseHello there!
English...is CRAZY! Yes, but also a very useful language and not that complicated once you get the basics. It's a very flexible language and that's why it's so popular around the world.
I have a TESL certificate and have taught English as Second Language for almost 10 years, in 3 different continents.
One of the secrets to learn English fast is: THE COURAGE TO MAKE MISTAKES AND KNOWING HOW TO LAUGH AT YOURSELF.
Many people are afraid to "sound stupid" and that slows down their learning.
I will show you easy and fun ways to learn English and become fluent quickly. Remember, it's NOT easy, but it can be FUN!
About Lisa
Hello there!
My name is Lisa and I believe that we are all given gifts to share them with others.
That's why I teach.
I'm a multilingual percussionist and health and harmony seeker; I've taught French, Spanish and ESL for many years in several parts of the world. I've also studied, played and tutored traditional Ghanaan and Malinke percussion for almost 10 years and have acquired strong polyrhythmic foundation.
I love and can teach the art of Calligraphy, including mainly French and Arabic calligraphy.
I earned a BA in Linguistics from UC Berkeley and have acquired and developed a lot more academic skills that I'd be happy to transmit (see my list of subjects).
I'm also a mother of 2 little boys and a little girl, 5 and 2 years old and a 9 months old- my real full time job these days! I still do my best to remember to take a brea

About Britta Y.
Close
I love helping people with their English language learning goals! I am a language and travel enthusiast with a variety of ESL teaching and tutoring experiences. Each lesson is custom designed to meet each student's unique goals and learning preferences. We'll draw from a variety of sources, such as song lyrics, articles, novels, ESL books, and my own materials. I meet students in coffee shops, parks, libraries, or other public places that work for both of us.
Please contact me with any questions and to get started. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you! :)
About Britta
My name is Britta, and I love piano and teaching! Music has brought great joy to my life, and it all started with the piano. I am eager to share that joy and power with you.
I started playing piano before I can remember and began lessons at age 5. I studied under my phenomenal teacher in Minnesota until I moved away when I was 18. I continued playing duets and quartets at her studio anytime I was back in Minnesota. I spent a few years living abroad and at college in Chicago. I taught first graders for a year at LEARN Excel Charter School in Chicago. Now I’ve relocated to Round Lake Beach, where I have a beautiful 80-year-old baby grand piano and a peaceful in-home studio.
When it comes to music, I think it's important to stay relaxed, push yourself, and have fun. Learning to play an instrument like the piano can be a very rich and

About Mindi Z.
Close
As an ESL speaker myself, I am well aware of all sorts of issues and difficulties English learners would encounter. I teach everything about ESL: speaking, listening, writing, and reading, and I promise you will be more confident about your English after taking just a couple lessons with me.
About Mindi
I earned my bachelor's degree in History and East Asian Languages and Civilizations from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017, and will be getting a master's degree in social sciences from the University of Chicago in August 2018. The subjects I teach on Takelessons including Mandarine Chinese, ESL, History, and Essay Writing.
A native of Hangzhou, China, I am a historian studying modern East Asian History in the United States. Instead of giving students tedious, boring lecture, my teaching style is characterized by lively interaction between the student and me, and I am skillful at asking thought-provoking questions and let the students find the answers by themselves, whilst I play the role of a guide and a friend. I believe this is the best and most efficient way to help students improve.
I have well-prepared class
