Elena

Elena is an excellent teacher. She is very attuned to my learning needs and has helped me in many ways. She has reviewed my writings in Italian and given me numerous suggestions to improve the text. She is extremely flexible and has also directed me to many resources such as podcasts and videos that to help improve my Italian. Our conversations are always interesting, and I look forward to each session. Grazie, Elena!!

Elena is a brilliant teacher. She has a profound knowledge of the Italian language/culture and of language acquisition for all levels. Her methods are effective, organized and incredibly motivating. Lessons and study routines are personalized together for attainment, mistakes are embraced and quickly corrected and above all - Elena creates a focused environment where you feel truly immersed into a real Italian classroom. She is VERY patient, warm and an absolutely wonderful conversationalist! Highly educated in the Arts, Languages, Humanities and Italian culture. I couldn't ask for a better tutor in advancing my grammar, writing and speaking skills. I'm at an advanced level and to anyone searching to seriously improve and confidently reach their potential, Elena is my first recommendation.

Elena is an excellent and highly-experienced language teacher: she is warm, encouraging, and explains points of grammar clearly. I always feel comfortable speaking in our conversation lessons. Elena is also an insightful and knowledgeable guide to Italian culture. I have learned much from her about Italian history, etiquette, customs, dialects, and language use; we have also discussed classic and contemporary films, poetry, art, and contemporary events. Our lessons are always a rich experience for me.

She is great. She actually puts up with my crap when I'm feeling looney for the day. LOL

Another wonderful conversation with Elena.

I always enjoy my lessons with Elena. I feel very comfortable conversing with her and she often provides interesting articles for us to discuss. Our lessons have recently included grammar points and exercises which I have found very useful, especially since her explanations are clear and easy to follow.
