Elias Sonai Lupo

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 :)

As always, it was a real pleasure to talk with Elias. It cannot be easy listening to my Italian but they help me say what I want to say and show me that I can make myself understood. They are a very confidence-building teacher and it is really enjoyable working with them.

Elias is a truly wonderful teacher. They are very easy to talk to and they keep the conversation rolling. I had never spoken Italian before my lessons with Elias. However, they make me feel totally at ease and they are very patient with my attempts. They correct my mistakes when necessary and encourage me when I am struggling to express myself. They radiate positivity and make me feel confident to try to talk about subjects which are beyond my capabilities in Italian. I cannot recommend them enough!

Elias è una persona molto affascinante, molto educata e rispettoso. Dal punto di vista academico è molto preparato è il suo italiano è molto raffinato. Lui è il insegnante perfetto.
