Eleonora

Many of the reviews here have pointed out that Eleonora is unusually skilled at keeping a conversation afloat even when you are struggling to find the right words, and correcting you gradually as you go. I would like to echo these comments, adding that her fun and conversational (yet also well-structured and precise) teaching style has really helped me become more confident in speaking Italian out loud, and less afraid of making mistakes. Eleonora will not only help you fix these mistakes, but she will also help you learn why you are making them and encourage you (in my case, constantly) to keep trying. It is crucially important for all language learners to have a teacher like this. Don't wait: book a lesson now!

Eleonora is a gifted teacher - highly effective in helping the tongue-tied find their voice as Italian speakers. Her superpower is her ability to steer conversation towards interesting and challenging topics, helping a student stay afloat even when they do not have all the vocabulary they need. Throughout, she makes suggestions and provides feedback in a way that does not break the flow of conversation. In chat, she also gives you a stream of corrections and other input that you can revise later. Highly recommended.

Whatever your goals are with Italian, Eleonora will help you find a way of reaching them. I have been working with her on and off for over a year now, and at different times I have needed very different kinds of help, from conversational to grammatical, written, and so forth. Recently I have been working more on writing, and Eleonora has put in a ton of work to make sure I understand nuanced differences between different grammatical constructions—not always correct versus incorrect ones, but also those that sound more natural, or belong to more or less formal registers. This kind of information is so valuable as a non-native speaker. If you want someone who is going to really meet you where you are, figure out the best way to help you, and who will sustain that flexibility over the long term—book a lesson with Eleonora today!

During each lesson, Eleonora frequently calls my name and appreciates even small achievements, which helps me feel relaxed and motivated. Not only do I learn Italian, but I also gain valuable insights into life. The way she effectively utilizes our whiteboard creates an immersive classroom experience, making me feel like I'm actually in a real classroom. Additionally, the homework she assigns is appropriate and enjoyable for my current level, enhancing the learning process. I always appreciate her dedicated support. いつも楽しいレッスンをありがとう！
