About Ellie

Ciao! I'm a native Italian speaker from Sardinia, Italy, and I'd love to help you learn Italian in a fun, relaxed, and practical way. Whether you're starting from scratch, preparing for a trip to Italy, working on conversation skills, or simply want to connect with the language and culture, I can tailor lessons to your goals and learning style. I believe the best way to learn a language is to actually use it--not just memorize endless vocabulary lists! We can work on pronunciation, everyday conversation, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and Italian culture while keeping lessons engaging and comfortable. As a native speaker, I can also help you learn the Italian people actually use in everyday life, including expressions and conversational phrases you may not find in a textbook. I'm patient, encouraging, and happy to work with children, teens, or adults at beginner through intermediate levels. Let's make Italian something you enjoy learning rather than something you have to study!
