I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, which has been a valuable foundation for my career as an educator. My passion for understanding human behavior and cognition has greatly influenced my teaching approach. In addition, I have pursued various professional development opportunities and certifications related to teaching Italian as a foreign language. These certifications have equipped me with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively teach Italian to learners from diverse backgrounds. My teaching experience spans over a decade, starting in 2006 when I became a special education teacher. Since 2016, I have been exclusively focused on teaching Italian to foreigners, refining my teaching methods and strategies to meet the unique needs of language learners. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I believe that staying updated with the latest trends and methodologies in language education is essential to provide the best possible learning experience for my students.

Hi! I'm Elena, an experienced educator with over 8 years of teaching under my belt. I'm excited about the prospect of helping you achieve your language learning goals! I was born and raised in Turin, Italy, a place I hold close to my heart. While my academic background is in psychology, my true passion lies in the field of education. My journey in education began in 2006 when I started my career as a special education teacher. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with diverse groups of students, each with their unique learning needs. However, it was in 2016 that I discovered my passion: teaching Italian to people from around the world. Being multilingual, I am fluent in English and Spanish, which has been invaluable in connecting with students from various linguistic backgrounds. I have developed a proven teaching method over the years that is both effective and enjoyable. My goal is to have you speaking Italian confidently right from the start! My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating a trusting and non-judgmental learning environment. I firmly believe that making mistakes is an essential part of the learning process. In my classes, you will find a supportive ally who will help you learn Italian or enhance your existing skills. With a solid understanding of Italian grammar, I aim to simplify the complexities of the language and make communication straightforward. During my lessons, I incorporate real-life examples and scenarios to make learning Italian enjoyable and relatable. Whether we're discussing everyday topics or diving into Italian culture, my aim is to help you remember and apply what you learn.
