About Maria Elisa

Hello! I’m Maria Elisa, a native Italian speaker from Sicily, a qualified teacher and an artist with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts.

For five years, I volunteered as an Italian teacher for adults from migrant backgrounds in Milan. I also spent a year in Perth working as an assistant teacher, an experience that helped me understand the challenges and rewards of communicating across different languages and cultures.

I also completed the postgraduate Master’s programme in E-learning for Teaching Italian to International Learners (ELIIAS) at the University for Foreigners of Siena, one of Italy’s leading institutions in the field of Italian language education. This programme strengthened my skills in teaching Italian as a second or foreign language, inclusive education and online learning.

I love sharing Italian as a living language, connected to everyday life, art, food, history and the many regional cultures of Italy. I’m patient, creative and encouraging, and I want my students to feel comfortable speaking, asking questions and making mistakes.

Whether you are learning Italian for travel, work, study, family connections or simply because you love Italy, I will help you build confidence and enjoy the learning process.

My lessons are mainly based on an inductive and communicative approach. Rather than beginning with grammar rules to memorise, I start with Italian in a meaningful context, using a conversation, an image, a short video, an artwork or a real-life situation. I guide students to observe how the language is used, recognise recurring patterns and understand the rule before applying it through speaking or writing.

Whenever possible, I conduct the lesson almost entirely in Italian. I adapt my vocabulary and speaking pace and use images, gestures, examples and paraphrasing to make the language understandable without relying too heavily on translation. This continuous but supported exposure improves listening comprehension and gradually helps students think and respond directly in Italian.

I developed and applied this method during my ELIIAS Master’s programme at the University for Foreigners of Siena. For example, I designed an interactive online journey through Sicily in which B1 students explored authentic materials such as videos, transport websites, menus and regional expressions. They then used the language to complete practical tasks, including planning a journey, asking for directions, ordering food, role-playing conversations and writing a travel diary.

A standard lesson lasts 60 minutes and moves from a short review to authentic input, guided discovery, interaction and a final real-life task. As an art teacher, I also enjoy using images and artworks to encourage observation, conversation and storytelling.

Lessons are personalised according to each student’s interests, needs and goals. They are suitable for teenagers and adults who already have some basic knowledge of Italian, from A2 level onwards. Feedback is continuous and supportive, while mistakes are treated as a natural and valuable part of learning.
