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!

È proprio un piacere fare lezioni con Elisa! We have similar interests and she's great about suggesting articles to read and topics to discuss. She does a mini review at the end that covers mistakes I made, rather than stopping me while I'm in the flow of talking. La raccomando senze riserve!

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!

Un insegnante eccellente!

I wish I had chosen Elisa for my first italki years ago. She is so patient and explains things so well. Meravigliosa!
