About Elena
Hi! I’m Elena, a native Italian teacher certified with DITALS (Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language).
I help students from all over the world finally start speaking real Italian – not just studying grammar, but actually using the language with confidence in real-life situations.
If you’ve ever felt stuck with Italian grammar, unsure how to speak naturally, or frustrated because you “understand but can’t speak” – I can help you fix that.
Why students choose me:
• Native Italian speaker from Florence
• DITALS certified teacher – professional methodology, not random tutoring
• Lessons focused on speaking from day one
• Clear, simple explanations (no confusion, no overload)
• Structured path to real progress
• Personalized lessons based on your exact goals
• Supportive, patient, and results-oriented approach
About the lesson
My lessons are designed to help you actually use Italian confidently, not just learn it passively. We focus on communication first: speaking, understanding, and building real fluency step by step. Grammar is included, but always explained in a simple, practical way that you can immediately apply.
Whether you are a beginner or already advanced, I adapt everything to your level and your goals.
In our lessons you will:
• Start speaking Italian in a natural and guided way
• Improve fluency through real conversation practice
• Understand grammar without confusion
• Expand vocabulary for everyday situations, travel, work, or study
• Receive clear corrections and actionable feedback
• Learn with customized materials made for you
My goal
To help you stop “studying Italian” and start actually speaking it with confidence and ease.
If you are ready to finally make real progress, book a lesson and let’s start building your Italian step by step.

My lessons are designed to help you start using Italian immediately in real situations, not just memorizing rules.
From the very first class, you’ll be actively speaking and building confidence step by step. Grammar is always included, but explained in a simple, practical, and intuitive way, so you can actually use it when you speak.
Each lesson is fully personalized based on your level, needs, and goals—whether you are learning Italian for travel, work, study, or personal interest.
In our lessons you will:
• Speak Italian from the beginning in a guided, supportive way
• Improve fluency through structured conversation practice
• Understand grammar clearly and without stress
• Expand vocabulary for everyday life, travel, and professional contexts
• Receive immediate correction and practical feedback
• Learn with customized materials adapted to your level
• Study online via Zoom with flexible scheduling
My teaching approach
I focus on real communication, clarity, and consistent progress. My goal is to help you feel comfortable using Italian naturally, not just understanding it on paper.
Step by step, you will move from “thinking in your language” to thinking in Italian—and actually speaking it with confidence.

Perfect! Elena is a passionate teacher of Italian. She is very through with repetition of saying words and phrases in Italian so that I get understanding of what the words means and how to say them effectively.
