Juliana, 3 lessons with ElisaI cannot say enough great things about Elisa she was an amazing tutor and mentor while studying Italian before going abroad. I waited last minute and with only about 6 weeks or less before I left I started with Elisa. She was able to get me very prepared within just a few weeks and my experience in Italy has been so much smoother because of her lessons. Her lesson plans are customized to meet your individual needs and she really makes learning enjoyable. I strongly recommend booking lessons...

Great listener, so patient!
Eliza really listened to my goals and how I learn and she is crafting lessons around these parameters. She is very patient and will wait until I am able to come up with verb conjugations and is integrating previous vocabulary/conversations into lessons. She has been great! Highly recommend

Very patient and nice teacher! Brava!
Classes are very interesting! Love all the classes. I was preparing for my study aboard plan for Italy. I had trouble with speaking and listening. Elisa was super kind and patient. She encouraged me to speak Italian during the whole class. English is not my native language, and sometime it‘s hard to explain my questions in English, but Elisa is very patient and helped my a lot. Now I am in Italy, although I am not able to speak Italian fluently yet, but I believe, with Elisa‘s help, I can speak Italian soon enough!

Amazing Teacher
Elisa is amazing. Although I know the basics of the Italian language, I didn’t have the proper structure. She can see my weak points and helps me work on it. She has a great understanding and patients for her students. Grateful to have found her.

Knowledgeable and made a nervous student comfortable
My daughter was nervous to have a tutor but felt super comfortable with Elisa. She appreciated Elisa going through the basics and feels confident she will be able to learn Italian finally!

Our first lession was fun. Elisa kept it interesting and took the time to make sure we were following along. Elisa's explained in English then in Italian. Can't wait for our next lession!

Fun and easy to work with!
I was speaking Italian with Elisa P almost immediately. We had some troubleshooting issues with the Internet connection and she still made sure we had our full lesson and all of my questions got answered. She’s very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. I’m excited to continue working with Elisa!
