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
