I've been teaching Italian L2 for 5 years, and it's honestly my favorite part of the day. My method is personalized and interactive: every lesson is built around your passions, your goals, your level. We talk about real life — culture, current events, stories — because that's how language sticks. No stress, no boredom: we learn through things that genuinely interest you. First lesson: I get to know you — what you love, why Italian, where you want to go with it. From there I build your personal study plan with readings, videos, podcasts, and interactive exercises. My teaching method is personalized and based on every single student passions.

I so desperately want to be able speak Italian really, really well some day. But that day often feels so far away and I wonder if there’s any way I can ever get there. But after a lesson with Elena Sofia I always feel inspired and a little bit closer to making my dream come true. Maybe I really can do it!?! If I ever do, it’ll be thanks to Elena Sofia!!

Elena is one of the best language teachers I have experienced. She gets me to speak a lot, and always comes with an interesting (and sometimes challenging) plan for the lesson. I really enjoy studying with Elena, and I know my Italian is already improving.

Elena, è una insegnante fantastica! A molta capacità di spiegarmi concetti complessi in modo semplice. Apprezzo molto l'ambiente positivo e di supporto che Elena crea in ogni lezione, dove mi sento libero di fare domande che aiutano al mio sviluppo come studente.
