I am happy to provide this reference for Elizabeth, whom I knew when she was my graduate student, teaching assistant and research assistant at Wilfrid Laurier University.
In all three situations, her performance was very impressive. She writes and speaks in a clear, correct, engaging manner. As a teaching assistant, she provided thoroughly researched, carefully organized,
thought-provoking lectures, treating the students in an open, friendly and courteous way; they enjoyed and learned from her presentations, and were also appreciative of her helpfulness as a marker of their written work. Her conscientious, meticulous work as my research assistant, including her resourcefulness in tracking down elusive pieces of information, was invaluable.
Elizabeth is an absolutely dependable, principled, hard-working person. I recommend her very highly.

With Elizabeth, I [practice] conversation. She helps with vocabulary and pronunciation. She has a beautiful accent and is easy to understand. We use videos, music recordings, films, tv series, as well as opera, singers, actors and actresses, so we have a lot of material for particularly interesting conversations.
The sessions are always planned ahead carefully, so the using of Zoom is made very easy. . .
Elizabeth is very well-organized, very punctual, quite knowledgeable in a lot of subjects and in general, extremely pleasant, warm and empathetic.

It is always a great pleasure to have a lesson with her. I highly recommend her.

Elizabeth and I focused our efforts on pronunciation, an area where I particularly needed improvement. She suggested and implemented _Accent Reduction for Chinese Speakers: A Pronunciation Course for Chinese Speakers of English_ as our curriculum, which was an excellent choice.
Elizabeth's diligent research and rich expertise ensured the selection of the perfect book for our study. I want to extend my gratitude to Elizabeth for her expertise and dedication.
[We used] homework recordings between classes, which Elizabeth promptly responded to, fostering continuous learning and progress between classes.
Elizabeth dedicated her efforts and time to these recordings, which greatly enhanced my learning experience and allowed for ongoing improvement.

Working with her was truly a pleasure and immensely beneficial to my progress.

Without any doubt, I want to say that Elizabeth is a great teacher. We were focused on improving my English writing and grammar.
