Hello dear students! Ciao cari studenti!

¡Hola queridos estudiantes!

My name’s Elena, and I am a fully qualified Italian, Spanish and English teacher. I’ve been working as a language teacher for over a decade, and I love it!

I was born in Italy, where I’m currently living, but in the past I travelled the world and got the chance to live in other countries.

I graduated in modern languages, got the official language certifications for Spanish and English, as well as the teaching certifications for all the languages I teach (yes, including the one to be an official Italian language teacher… being native is a great advantage, but not all native speakers are necessarily great teachers, we have to study too if we want to be great at teaching our own native language!).

I can help you learn general Italian/Spanish/English, whether you’re a beginner or have and advanced level, or I can help you prepare for a language certification, or learn the language for business.

I generally work with teens, young adults and adults of any age.

I am an outgoing person who’s passionate about languages and all that is related to them. I love art, music, cinema, sport and cooking, travelling.

Studying a language means to learn the language and a lot of other interesting aspects such as cultural ones and many more… so let’s learn together! I’ll be waiting for you in my online classroom!

My students learn the language through communication and real-life situation activities.

The teaching methodology used is based on the natural aquisition of the language which is supported by grammar help when needed to help students use the language correctly.

Not only do they improve their speaking skill, but also listening, reading and writing skills will be practiced during the classes to help them develop all four language skills.

The lessons can be tailored according to the student’s needs (language for business/travel/school help) and personal goals.
