❗️I will not be teaching any classes in the period 31 December-6 January ❗️
Hi there! My name is Elisa, I'm from Venice, and I graduated in Political Science at Ca’ Foscari University with a thesis on the sociology of migration. Alongside studying and teaching, I’m involved in activism for human rights and social justice.
I have been teaching Italian to foreign students through local associations focused on integration and support for immigrants, and this is something I continue to do. It has allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and to see how language can truly connect individuals.Me as a Teacher
I try to make my lessons feel relaxed. I like creating a space where students can speak freely, make mistakes, and enjoy learning Italian. I speak fluent English, Spanish and French, which helps students learn Italian more easily through their native language.
I enjoy getting to know my students as people and love hearing about their lives and interests, while helping them make continuous progress in Italian. For me, it’s important that you feel supported from the very first lesson. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are mainly conversation-based, emphasizing real, natural use of Italian. I love listening to students talk about their lives, interests, and experiences. I learn a lot from them, and I enjoy exploring whatever topic comes up - sociology, politics, literature, music, films, or anything else. For beginners, I can also prepare more structured lessons focused on essential vocabulary and grammar, helping them start speaking Italian right away.My teaching material

Elisa is such a kind and thoughtful person and a skillful teacher. Every conversation with her is so enjoyable and we discuss very interesting topics. At the same time, Elisa never misses an opportunity to teach me new vocabulary or grammatical aspects that I'm missing. This is such an enjoyable way to strengthen my Italian. Grazie mille, Elisa!

I had another fun lesson with Elisa. The conversazione is always fun. And Elisa is so good at giving me corrective feedback in a gentle, non-judgmental way. I love our time together. Five stars. Highly recommend!
