Learn Italian with a native teacher — tailored, engaging, and culture-rich lessons

Ciao! I’m a native Italian speaker fluent in English, and I’ve always loved sharing my language with others. Before earning my DITALS Certification from the University of Siena (Certification of Competence in Teaching Italian as a Foreign Language), I enjoyed helping friends learn Italian just for fun. Today, I am a Qualified Secondary School Teacher with experience teaching French and Spanish at secondary level and preparing students for their GCSE exams. Alongside this, I offer personalized Italian lessons online, where I combine professional teaching skills with a friendly, supportive approach to help learners of all levels feel confident and motivated.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching Italian to private students for more than 10 years, helping learners build confidence and enjoy the language at every level. In addition, I have 4 years’ experience as a Secondary School teacher of French and Spanish, where I prepare students for their GCSE exams.

Tutoring Approach

I love both teaching and learning languages, and as a native Italian speaker I enjoy sharing not only the language but also the culture, which I believe is essential for anyone who wants to travel, study, or live in Italy. My lessons are always flexible and personalized, designed to meet the goals and needs of each learner. I am patient and empathetic, with a genuine passion for helping students build confidence, reach their full potential, and truly enjoy their learning journey.
