About Me
italki teacher since Apr 16, 2021InterestsReadingSports & FitnessEnvironment & NatureFoodTravel
Italian native speaker, learning languages is my lifelong passion. I can speak 5 languages fluently and 2 on an upper-intermediate level. I have plenty of experience as a student of foreign languages as well as a teacher. Teaching is my passion, in my free time I love to practice and teach kitesurfing and windsurfing.Me as a Teacher
I began teaching Italian in 2019 and is now my job. I am certified teacher of Italian (CEDILS), specialized in lessons for test preparation.
My goal-oriented lessons focus on the goals of the students and on developing simultaneously the 4 skills of language learning: Listening , Speaking , Reading , and Writing.
My students generally love that they can learn grammar, vocabulary and phrases in a relaxed and friendly setting.My lessons & teaching style
For absolute beginners (A1-A2):
I have developed a course in PowerPoint which I will follow. We will learn and practice all the basic grammar, useful phrases and vocabulary. The course is supported a learning App to memorise words, and personalised homeworks.
For intermediate to upper-intermediate learners:
In the first hour I will assess the level and then create a tailored program aimed at improving their skills faster. Before each lesson, I will prepare a file in GoogleDocs to follow in class.
For students with a specific goal:
I prepare also for exams such as Celi, Cils, Goethe, Ielts.My teaching material

Elena is in the top 1% teachers in this application. I definitely recommend her clases!!The fact that she speaks several languages is a huge help when learning a new language. My native language is Portuguese, so she already knows what’s the most likely points I will be confused due to false cognates or other issues. I have clases with her every single day and she’s always punctual, enthusiastic, and prepared before each lesson. I feel that it’s definitely worth it

Oggi ho avuto la mia prima lezione di tedesco con Elena. È stata la mia prima volta a parlare tedesco con qualcun altro. All'inizio ero un po' timido, ma l'insegnante è stata molto paziente e collaborativa, guidandomi nel parlare. Sono riuscito a intrattenere una conversazione con lei e ho ricevuto incoraggiamenti. Sono molto soddisfatto.
