Meet Lisa Pontoppidan
Masters of Teaching English as a Second Language
I am a patient, experienced, and warm teacher. I received my Masters of Teaching English as a Second Language in 2007, and taught adult learners at Boston University for more than 12 years. I have taught students from all over the world, and created active and interesting lessons in grammar, speaking, pronunciation, listening, reading, vocabulary, and writing. I have tutored many students and helped them improve greatly. I tailor our lessons to meet your exact needs.
