One teacher says:
I had the good fortune to participate in Express Fluency’s Teacher Training earlier this summer. Elissa is an exceptional language teacher who full heartedly models the TPRS method for language instruction. I was inspired as a beginning Spanish teacher, but also as a fifth grade classroom teacher, an ESL teacher, and a learner of Spanish. Understanding the importance of comprehensible input, and having the confidence to provide it, are essential tools for every educator. What a great opportunity to spend a week observing two master teachers, and participate in discussions with them about theory and the nuts and bolts of language instruction. Also, great resources to look through, countless ideas to use as a teacher, and lots of laughs! — Julie Dolan 5th grade teacher
