About Eliana
Hello, I’m Eliana! Professionally, I am a medical doctor, but my lifelong passion has always been languages, culture, and human connection.
You might wonder how medicine and language teaching connect. As a doctor, my daily life is built on empathy, patience, active listening, and a highly structured approach to problem-solving. I bring this exact same level of professionalism, dedication, and care into every single tutoring session. I know how to break down complex concepts into simple, digestible steps, and I am deeply committed to my students' success.
Beyond being a teacher, I am also a dedicated language learner. I currently speak four languages, which means I know exactly what it feels like to be in your shoes. I understand the frustration of hitting a plateau, the challenges of mastering a new grammar system, and the fear of making mistakes. Because I have been through the language acquisition process multiple times, I know exactly which strategies work and how to guide you past your blocks.
When I am not working in the medical field or teaching, I am a creative soul. I absolutely love reading, creative writing, and photography. I am always exploring new books, capturing moments through my camera lens, and learning about the world. This broad range of interests is a huge advantage for our lessons—it means we will never run out of fascinating, real-world topics to discuss during our conversation practice!
Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to polish your fluency, you can trust that you are in professional, reliable, and supportive hands. I look forward to helping you achieve your language goals!

I believe that language learning is most effective when it is genuinely engaging and completely tailored to the student: I design 100% personalized lessons based on your unique goals, interests, and learning pace.
To keep our classes dynamic, I blend classic, structured tools (like textbooks and standard grammar exercises) with innovative teaching methods. We won't just stare at a book—we will regularly use music, videos, podcasts, and real-world media to help you absorb the language naturally. This modern approach ensures you aren't just memorizing rules, but actually understanding how native speakers communicate in real life.
A Typical Lesson Plan
To make sure you develop well-rounded skills, I use a mixed approach in every session. A typical 60-minute class includes a balance of conversation, grammar, reading, and listening:
Warm-up (10-15 min): Casual conversation to get you comfortable, break the ice, and get your brain thinking in the target language.
Core Structure (15 min): Introduction of a new grammar concept or vocabulary set using clear, classic teaching materials.
Interactive Practice (20 min): Applying what we just learned through multimedia. This might involve breaking down the lyrics of a popular song, analyzing a short video clip, or completing a targeted listening exercise.
Production & Review (10 min): Free conversation or role-play using the new vocabulary, followed by gentle feedback and setting goals for our next class.
What Sets Me Apart
As a native Italian with over 5 years of teaching experience, my biggest strength is my adaptability. I don't force my students into a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, I build the curriculum around you. By combining solid grammatical foundations with pop culture and interactive media, I make sure that learning feels like a fun, cultural immersion rather than a chore. My priority is to create a safe, relaxed environment where you feel completely comfortable making mistakes and speaking fearlessly.
Who These Lessons Are For
My classes are open to students of every level, from absolute beginners (A1) taking their very first steps, to advanced learners (C2) looking to perfect their fluency, andiamo!
Travelers and culture lovers who want to connect with locals.
Anyone who feels "blocked" and wants to finally overcome their fear of speaking!
