“Every new word is a step towards new horizons.“

Elisa, Learning Mentor & Private teacher of Italian


Wish to dive into an immersive linguistic & cultural experience in Salento?

In one-to-one, two-to-one, or authentic mini-group Italian classes, you’ll have all the time you need to speak, ask questions, and practice at your own pace — in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Ciao! I’m Elisa and I’ll be your learning mentor & private teacher of Italian in Lecce, in the heart of Salento, Puglia.

Each of my courses of Italian is conceived to be fully tailor-made on your interests, needs and learning style.

The conversational approach makes learning Italian natural and effective, and the relaxed atmosphere will make you feel at ease.

“I loved Elisa’s method, her empathy and kindness, I really enjoyed learning. We had lessons at home, at the market and in Lecce’s historical centre! I felt at my ease and experienced la dolce vita in Lecce!”

Kate, web writer & mom from Australia

I’m an enthusiastic and empathetic certified teacher of Italian language for happy learners from 18 to 80 – yes, you can start learning at every age! 

Each person I’ve had the pleasure to meet was enthusiastic, smart, kind, open-minded. And needed not only a holiday, not only a language course: each of them needed time for themself – and a unique experience to live during this time.

The private tuition and mini-groups are conceived as authentic learning experience based on an up-to-date conversational, natural and immersive method. Every lesson is designed according to your interests, needs and learning style. You’ll have all the time you need to speak, ask questions and enjoy learning with me.

“We really had a good time. Learning Italian turned to be a pleasant moment during our week and we learnt a lot about daily life situations (at the restaurant, on holidays, at the hairstylist…). Elisa adapted the course at our own pace.”

“Thanks to the interaction with Elisa I discovered new expressions and new strategies that I would have never thought of by myself. Now I am able to talk about past events and to express my opinions in a very effective way.”

Patrik, entrepreneur & football lover from Sweden

Classificazione: 5 su 5.

“Before starting the course I felt insecure and had a chaotic knowledge of Italian language. We dived into daily life situation, art, poetry, events and funny role plays. Elisa understood what I needed and was not able to express; all the confused rules I had learnt as an autodidact became finally clear and now I feel much more confident!”

Sonja, art student & poetry lover from Slovenia
