About Lisa R.
5.0
(4)
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 break and breathe to become a better human being through meditation I'd be happy to teach you what I know.
My motto: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, HUMBLY HONOR YOUR MISTAKES AS TEACHERS AND TRULY BELIEVE IN YOUR ABILITIES.
Very much looking forward to meeting you!

Lisa is amazing. Really knows her stuff and pays attention to her students needs. Always makes sure she is ready and prepared for each lesson as well. I would recommend her for any type of student.

I am very pleased with my online lessons with Lisa. She is fluent in both French and English. Her depth of language understanding and her skill in teaching come through clearly in all sessions.. Lisa is comfortable to work with. She stays on task with the basics, which I asked for, and she is also able to move in directions which I suggest based on my current interests. Beyond all this, I sense that she is a very good person who is "present" during the sessions.l Highly recommended.
