Ciao! :)
I'm Elisa, a native Italian speaker from Northern Italy.
After attending secondary school (where I studied Latin and Ancient Greek, the languages from which Italian descends) I took a gap year and worked as an Au Pair in Nottingham, UK. It was a great experience! After coming back to Italy, I studied and got a Master's Degree 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 love listening to your stories and experiences. I also like sports, books and music. Finally, I am interested in Japanese language and culture.

Me as a Teacher
I have been tutoring for around 10 years, and I have a lot of experience especially with elementary school and junior high school kids with special educational needs. I have volunteered as an English teacher for underprivileged children in Cambodia, at a local school in Thailand, and at a rehabilitation center in Laos.
I am easy-going, patient, and encouraging. I will do my best to personalize your class to match your style and help you reach your goal, making the lesson useful, engaging, and fun.
My lessons & teaching style
I offer classes for everyone, from beginner to advanced. If you are a beginner, we can use a textbook to start your Italian language learning. If your level is intermediate or advanced, we can discuss any topic of your interest and/or address more challenging aspects of the language with personalized activities.
I can help you gain familiarity with Italian language, expand your vocabulary, and practice grammar rules in a relaxed and fun atmosphere! :)
I will provide:
- feedback and correction on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary,
- personalized homework,
- slides or tables.
A presto!

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!

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 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!

She is very encouraging and doesn’t care if you make mistakes and will help you learn to laugh about it and continue making progress and she explains grammar in such an amazing way which is something I have had many issues with as the Italian language is known for its difficult grammar. Thank you so much!!!!
