Ciao a tutti! I'm Elisa and I was born on Lake Como, Italy (but no, I don't know George Clooney). I got my Bachelor's Degree in Arts at DAMS in Bologna. I spent a few years in Milan working as a TV writer for different production companies. When I moved to the States I started teaching Italian and I really enjoy seeing my students making progress and loving my language. I still write, plays and movies, and teaching is a great way to meet interesting and inspiring people.
I always try to incorporate students' interests in my classes, to make it fun and more personal.
I also work as a dialogue coach on movie sets and I prepare actors for Italian speaking roles. A presto!
PS if you're taking my classes, I provide the textbook included in the fee
Foreign language learning
What is your favorite word in your language and why?
Pisolino (nap) - Sounds cute and who doesn't love naps?
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?

Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
I understand French and Spanish, and speak a little
What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
Writing, reading, travelling. And my dog Bugsby... he's the boss. You might see him popping up in class.
What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
Lecco, Lake Como. It's a beautiful and romantic place.
