About me - English
I’m a native Italian teacher with several years of experience teaching students of different ages, nationalities, and levels.

My lessons are always structured, interactive, and tailored to each student’s goals whether for travel, work, exams, or daily conversation. I believe learning Italian should be effective but also enjoyable, and I guide my students step by step in a supportive environment.

Strong background in lesson planning, conversation-based learning, and clear grammar instruction. I am experienced in adapting materials to students’ objectives, including travel, professional needs, and exam preparation.
