About Me
italki teacher since Dec 4, 2021
Hi everyone! This is a safe LGBTQIA+ space. I'm a transgender non-binary person (they/them).
On italki since almost one year now and loving it. I love and thank all my students! I teach to adult students of the most diverse backgrounds and cultures, level A1 to C2.
I speak foreign languages on a daily basis and from my struggles I gain a better understanding of my students. I love getting to know people who live different lives from mine, so be prepared to receive lots of curious, friendly questions!

Me as a Teacher
Reading a lot during childhood helped me develop a great taste for the italian language and its infinite nuances. Students appreciate my clear and neutral accent.
Are you a beginner? I'll do my best to inspire you to dive deeper and deeper into the beautiful realm of the italian language!
Are you intermediate level? Lessons with me will definitely empower you to navigate through new scenarios.
Are you advanced? We can engage in delightful conversations while perfecting phonetics and vocabulary to your liking.
My lessons & teaching style
People tend to perceive me as welcoming and patient, and I'm grateful to all students who appreciate me for this.
The more involved in the class you are, the more gratified I am; therefore I value your opinion very very much and I'll use the tools that resonate with you the most to make sure you enjoy working with me. Videos, audios, songs, books, poems, articles, games, official documents... you name it!
I like to maintain an open environment at all times and if your goals or commitment should change, the program will change accordingly. There's nothing we can't discuss with the right attitude.
Also available for lessons exchange :)

I really enjoy my lessons with Sonai. He listens to my needs and finds materials to help me reach my goals. He is patient and kind and speaks slowly so I understand. I look forward to working with him in the future.

I have had 3 amazing sessions with Sonai and deeply appreciate the support so far on this language (and life!) learning journey. I normally have so much nervousness in speaking but Sonai has a way of connecting where I don't feel afraid to make mistakes and somehow they seem to understand and the conversation keeps going. It is really great and feels a little miraculous :D. I have left each session feeling more confident and excited in the possibilities to come. Thank you so much for the support Sonai!

I’m so thankful for Sonai! We had a really fun, dynamic conversation yet their energy is so warm and friendly. I’m looking forward to many more conversations with them :)

Elias is a lovely teacher - they're a great listener, friendly, we have interesting conversations, and they put me at ease to make mistakes in the class. I would definitely recommend Elias to anyone looking for an Italian teacher.

I've just had a brilliant trial lesson with Elias. He seems to be a great teacher, so I'll be taking further lessons with him for sure.
