About me
Hello prospective students! I'm glad to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I'm Elio, passionate about teaching Italian and sharing my love for language and culture with others. With over five years of experience teaching Italian and more than 3000 hours of dedicated instruction, I've had the privilege of guiding students on their language-learning journey. My teaching approach is dynamic, interactive and tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of each learner. NOTE: I only accept trial lessons from students who are genuinely interested in starting a consistent learning path. Please don't book a trial lesson for a one-time or “random” session. Outside of the classroom, I am a traveller and cultural lover. Exploring new places and immersing myself in different cultures fuels my curiosity and provides endless inspiration for my teaching. When I'm not teaching or travelling, you can find me indulging in my love for literature, trying out new recipes in the kitchen or enjoying the great outdoors. I believe that learning a language should be an enriching and enjoyable experience and I'm committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where you can succeed. I'm here to help you reach your language goals and unlock exciting opportunities along the way. 100% Made in Italy. Living in Venezia. Soft Skills: • BSc in Oenology (University of Pisa) • Investment Management (University of Geneva) • Master in F&B Management • Property Management • Coaching & Leadership

My expertise is supported by various certifications and a well-defined teaching methodology grounded in effective educational principles. My teaching methodology is based on the communicative approach, which emphasizes practical language use in real-life situations.

This approach helps learners build confidence and fluency while developing their linguistic competence in a natural and enjoyable way. My background provides me with a solid understanding of learning theories and applied linguistics, allowing me to tailor my lessons to the specific needs and goals of each student. I focus on identifying the most effective strategies to facilitate learning, adapting my teaching style to different proficiency levels.
