The audio problem from the previous lesson was resolved. I was able to hear much more clearly.
I enjoyed learning the vocabulary of the restaurant.
My name’s Elena, 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 am an outgoing person who’s passionate about languages and all that is related to them. I love art, music, cinema, sport and cooking.
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!
Availability reduced in August 2025, you can find more available slots for your lesson from 25th August. Go check the online calendar and book your Italian/English/Spanish lesson!

Teaching Approach
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.
