Hi everyone! This is a safe LGBTQIA+ space. I'm a transgender non-binary person (they/them).
On italki since 1.5 years and loving it. I love and thank all my students! I teach to adult students of the most diverse backgrounds and cultures, level A2 to C2.
I speak foreign languages on a daily basis and from my practice 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 usually perceive me as welcoming and patient, and I'm grateful to all students who appreciate me for this.
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: there's nothing we can't discuss with the right attitude!
I'm a professional life coach, and I help people reaching their goals in life, especially when it comes to relationships (to oneself and to others). If you wish to find out more about it, just shoot me a message!

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 :)

I’ll just be direct - stop EVERYTHING you are doing right now and book a lesson with Elias! If you are not taking a lesson with them RIGHT NOW then you are wasting your time today. Learning from them is such an unimaginably enriching experience….your life will be much better, trust me. Thank you, Elias for being such a great teacher and such an amazing PERSON!

Elias is such a brilliant and joyful teacher, always helpful and willing to adapt to the student needs. He is very easy to talk to and is able to keep the conversation going even when the student struggles to find words. He manages to boost your confidence speaking - my ability to speak italian has improved a lot since I first started doing lessons with him. I can't recommend him enough!
