About Elisa

Empowering students to reach their full potential drives my passion. As a certified educator with a degree in Spanish, I bring a structured approach to learning. Born and raised in Italy before moving to the US at 11, I understand the challenges of navigating a new language and culture. Thanks to this journey, I am also more than happy to tutor English or Italian! My extensive background includes full-time student teaching, various school field experiences, and working as a classroom substitute. Additionally, I served as an instructor for the National Inventors Hall of Fame's Camp Invention, leading hands-on STEM activities. I prioritize building genuine confidence over memorization, working with all ages, from children learning basic vocabulary to adults mastering complex grammar. I love making lessons interactive, breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps, and connecting topics to a student's personal interests. I look forward to supporting your student!
