Ciao! :)
I'm Elisa, a native Italian speaker from Lake Garda, in Northern Italy.
After high school (where I studied Latin and Ancient Greek, the languages that Italian descends from) I lived abroad for one year in Nottingham, UK. It was a great experience, where I discovered how important it is to immerse yourself in a language and culture to truly learn. When I returned to Italy, I graduated in Psychology and Neuroscience.
I love traveling and discovering new cultures. We can learn and broaden our perspectives also behind a screen (grazie tecnologia!), which is why I really enjoy listening to your stories and experiences. I also like sports, books, music, and meditation.Me as a Teacher
I am an easy-going, patient, and encouraging teacher. I’ll do my best to tailor each lesson to your level and learning style, helping you reach your goal while making our classes useful, engaging, and fun.
I can help you feel more confident using Italian, expand your vocabulary, and practice grammar in a relaxed and fun atmosphere! :)
I am a CEDILS certified teacher and I've been teaching Italian on italki since 2022.
I also have ten years of experience tutoring elementary and junior high school kids with special educational needs. I’ve volunteered as an English teacher for underprivileged children in Cambodia, in a local school in Thailand, and at a rehabilitation center in Laos. My lessons & teaching style
In my classes I like to balance the structured side of language learning with real-world communication. That way, you can build a solid understanding of Italian while also learning to use it in ways that feel natural and authentic.
I will encourage you to practice and stay exposed to the language, and most importantly, I want our class to be a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable talking, making mistakes, and growing from them. :)
I provide:
- feedback and correction;
- homework;
- personalized material (slides and tables).
Whether you're learning Italian as a hobby, preparing for a trip, or just beginning your language journey, I’ll be happy to support you. A presto! 🚀My teaching material

This is a long over due review! Elisa is a true gem on this platform, and so lucky to have found her! I have been learning with Elisa for the past 3 months, and can confidently say my Italian has improved so much since starting. I am still quite a beginner, but have learned a lot since. For any other learners, I study Italian through Babbel which is absolutely great, but having a tutor like Elisa has really reinforced what I’ve learned. Elisa is a organized, polite, and presents all the material very clearly. She also provides examples, homework, and notes too! Elisa really cares if you understand the material and will adjust lessons as needed! Overall, Elisa is excellent and I am excited to keep learning with her!

The Real Deal.
Elisa is a rare and wonderful language teacher. Not only is her methodology unique but it’s effective as well. She is flexible and will adapt to how you like to learn. Furthermore, she is so kind that you will find yourself comfortably speaking more Italian in each lesson with confidence. Oh and on top of all that: her English is perfect. A gem!

Really amazing session with lots of great materials, exercises and information! I felt supported and encouraged throughout and loved how corrections for common errors were provided at the end in an interactive way that really helped me remember some of the tricker grammatical things I’ve struggled with! Feel very excited and hopeful to continue learning together!

Elisa is a natural teacher. Conversation with her flows -- aside from my garbled Italian aha. She effortlessly brings up interesting topics and asks questions that further the discussion. She explains things in a clear, concise manner. More than anything, however, lessons with her are both enriching and entertaining, and the time passes by in a flash. Se fosse possibile darle sei stelle lo farei!

The more lessons I have with Elisa, the more I enjoy our conversations! I love the articles she sends in advance to talk about, and I appreciate her feedback at the end of the session on things that came up during the conversation. Grazie mille!

I've done 11 classes with Elisa and I can recommend her as a teacher. What I like about Elisa is that she is very kind and patient. She is also very well prepared for our lessons, checking my homework and always have a plan.
The lesson is structured, we use a book, but Elisa also writes for me notes from the lesson, which I can come back to and review anything I missed to write down. I feel that Elisa really cares about progress of her students. Thank you 😊
