I am a native Italian teacher with ten years of experience teaching adults, professionals and international learners.

Advert description
I hold a degree in Modern Languages and Literatures, a CEDILS certification in teaching Italian as a foreign language, and a Master’s degree in Human Resources. Most of my current students attend lessons through companies, although I also work with private learners. I adapt the topics, materials and teaching approach to each student’s interests, preferences and goals, whether they are learning Italian for work, relocation, travel or personal interest. A typical lesson begins with some conversation and a review of homework, followed by vocabulary work, a new grammar point and practical activities such as listening exercises, reading comprehension or videos. My aim is to make lessons structured but flexible, practical and enjoyable.

I am a native Italian teacher with ten years of experience teaching Italian as a foreign language, both online and in person. Since 2016, I have worked with individual students, small groups, professionals and corporate learners from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. I have also collaborated with ItalianPod101, creating educational content for an international audience.

I hold a degree in Modern Languages and Literatures and a CEDILS certification in teaching Italian as a foreign language. I am fluent in English and have an advanced level of Japanese, certified at JLPT N2. Having lived and worked abroad, including several years in Japan, I understand the challenges of learning and communicating in another language.

My teaching approach is practical, communicative and tailored to each student’s needs. I combine conversation, vocabulary, grammar explanations and structured practice, using authentic materials and digital resources where appropriate. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, build confidence and develop the skills to use Italian naturally.
