At Italingva, we believe that learning a language means learning to think and feel in a new way
we are
That’s why our teachers are not just native speakers — they are passionate guides who open the door to the Italian way of life, culture, and mindset.
Each of us brings something unique: humor, curiosity, and a genuine love for human connection.
And because we know that personality matters, you can meet every teacher through a short video — to feel who they are before your first lesson even begins.

Elena
Founder & CEO of Italingva
Elena is the heart of Italingva — the person who gave this school its voice, warmth, and way of looking at the Italian language.
A linguist specialized in Italian and a methodologist with over 20 years of teaching experience, she has guided thousands of learners into the world of Italian — gently, attentively, and with a deep respect for each person’s story.

Language is not just what you say. It’s how you see the world
For Elena, teaching has never been about rules or memorization. It’s about curiosity, emotion, and those small moments when a student suddenly feels the language, not just understands it.
Italingva is built around her vision: lessons that feel human, teachers who care, and a space where students don’t just study Italian — they grow into it, naturally and without pressure.
