Working with Elisa has been an incredible language journey. Her easy and welcoming manner shine through. She is always well prepared bringing the right mix of grammar to a lesson and then incorporating those concepts into our conversation for reinforcement and practice. Elisa has a knack for pushing me out of my comfort zone while still being incredibly supportive. When I started with Elisa as a complete beginner, I was unable to formulate a sentence. Today, I am thrilled that our lessons are almost completely in Italian. My language journey still has a long way to go and I look forward to continuing my studies 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!

Elisa mi ha aiutato parecchio nel corso delle nostre lezioni! La consiglio a chiunque voglia imparare l’italiano. È bravissima, paziente e spiega tutto in modo chiaro e facile da capire. 😊

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!

My lessons with Elisa are always a joy. She has an intuitive sense of exactly what I need in the moment, and is very sensitive and thoughtful in her choices of how much and when to correct to keep the conversation flowing. I come away from each lesson feeling more confident that I can really do this! If you are looking for a skillful, encouraging, positive teacher who can help you learn to have real conversations in Italian, you can do no better!

Elisa is a great teacher. She is very patient with me, as I am very much a beginner, and struggling to retain and recall. She is always pleasant, and always professional.
