Ciao!
Sono Elena, your guide to Italian language and culture. Born in Venice, I blend my love for art, philosophy, and history into every lesson.
As a CELI examiner and CEDILS-certified teacher, I specialise in helping students:
- Prepare for exams (CELI/CILS/B1 Citizenship)
- Explore Italian literature and cinema
- Navigate real-life conversations
Fluent in English and French (with a dash of Greek), I adapt to your goals—whether you’re mastering grammar or discussing poetry and cinema.
📌 I write about Italian culture and language on my Substack: Italian Inspirations.Ik als leerkracht
As a teacher, I consider myself more of a 'guide' who supports students in discovering the language on their own.
I’m committed to creating a comfortable environment where students don’t feel judged for making mistakes, and my focus is mostly on engaging them in taking an active role in the learning process, rather than treating them as 'empty vessels' to fill with grammar rules.
I also aim at getting to know my students well so I understand what motivates them to learn Italian in order to create a study plan based on their interests. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
As I believe that the learning process is like the 'discovery' of a new mindset, I start the lesson with an input (text, image, audio, or song lyrics) that I use to guide my students in 'discovering' the grammar rules behind it.
This approach keeps students engaged rather than making them passive learners. They also feel that learning Italian comes naturally.
During my lessons I love sharing suggestions about Italian culture, literature, cinema, and history.Mijn lesmateriaal

Elena is very patient with correcting my mistakes and complimentary about my progress. We have many enjoyable discussions on a variety of topics. She is very well-versed in a number of subjects as well as curious to learn about my own experiences and knowledge and how our cultures compare and contrast. I highly, highly, highly highly highly recommend her as a teacher and conversation partner.

Come sempre bellissima lezione con dipinti di Venezia, racconti istorici e una passeggiata virtuale al palazzo ducale e la piazza di San Marco. Grazie Mille.
